TZ600P unified threat management
(UTM) firewalls that provide power
directly to connected PoE/PoE+ enabled
devices, such as wireless access points,
point-of-sale (POS) terminals, printers,
cameras and other IP devices.
Leveraging public
networks securely
The agile and
simplified deployment
capabilities will help
reduce labour costs
with centralised
cloud management.
With strong and proven security
provided by SonicWall, SD-WAN can
be leveraged to use readily-available,
low-cost public Internet services
to reduce the cost and complexity
commonly associated with building
distributed private networks based on
MPLS technology. application-based load balancing and
quality of service (QoS) capabilities.
“SD-WAN is a highly effective technology
for distributed organisations like retailers,
banks, manufacturers and campuses
to simultaneously improve performance
and reliability while reducing operational
overhead,” said 451 Research Analyst
Mike Fratto. “However, the use of the
direct, connected public Internet for
business opens up security challenges
for organisations. The rising growth of applications,
endpoints, mobile devices and databases
also means a larger attack surface for
cybercriminals. To shrink it, the SonicWall
Capture Security Center Risk Meters
service provides enterprises and SMBs
with data-driven analysis about evolving
threat vectors that include networks, web,
clouds, applications, endpoints, mobile
devices and databases.
“For SD-WAN to be a viable alternative
to private WANs, enterprises need to
ensure they have the same level of
inspection and enforcement at the
branch and remote sites as they have
at the data centre. Integrated security
features with SD-WAN are table
stakes for most enterprises adopting
the technology.” Because no two organisations are
alike, SonicWall Risk Meters deliver
personalised threat data and risk scores
that are adapted to individual situations
and environments, promoting immediate
and precise defensive actions.
Personalised threat intelligence,
risk scoring
To better guide business and security
objectives in a more timely manner,
computed risk scores and threat levels
are continuously updated based on live
threat data relative to existing defense
capabilities. Organisations can leverage
their scores when performing security
effectiveness planning, policy and
budgeting decisions.
Virtual firewall extended to
cloud deployments
The SonicWall Capture Cloud Platform
continues to deliver security for
businesses of any size and now
extends next-generation virtual firewall
capabilities to cloud deployments,
including Hyper-V, Azure and AWS, with
the NSv Firewall Series.
As an added benefit, new and existing
customers using SonicWall NSa
or NSsp next-generation firewalls
and who also have active Advanced
Gateway Security Suite (AGSS) or
Comprehensive Gateway Security
Suite (CGSS) services, will receive a
SonicWall NSv firewall for one year at
no additional cost.
SonicWall Zero-Touch Deployment is
available immediately. The TZ300P
Series, TZ600P and SonicOS 6.5.3 with
Secure SD-WAN will be available in
December 2018. u
A new capability of SonicOS 6.5.3,
the operating system for SonicWall
next-generation firewalls, SonicWall
Secure SD-WAN enables distributed
organisations to safely deploy and
connect branch and remote sites
for sharing data and enhancing
the resiliency and performance of
applications and services.
SonicWall Secure SD-WAN ensures
the consistent performance and
availability of business-critical and SaaS
applications with intelligent failover,
