Security and protection
The dedicated, in-house Dell
SonicWALL Threats Research Team
works on researching and developing
countermeasures to deploy to the
firewalls in the field for up-to-date
protection. The team leverages more
than one million sensors across the
globe for malware samples, and for
telemetry feedback on the latest threat
information, which in turn is fed into the
intrusion prevention, anti-malware and
application detection capabilities. Dell
SonicWALL NGFW customers with the
latest security capabilities are provided
continuously updated threat protection
around the clock, with new updates
taking eect immediately without
reboots or interruptions. The signatures
resident on the appliances are designed
to protect against wide classes of attacks,
covering up to tens of thousands of
individual threats with a single signature.
In addition to the countermeasures on
the appliance, SuperMassive firewalls
also have access to the Dell SonicWALL
CloudAV Service, which extends the
onboard signature intelligence with
more than twelve million signatures,
and growing. This CloudAV database is
accessed via a proprietary light-weight
protocol by the firewall to augment the
inspection done on the appliance. With
Geo-IP and botnet filtering capabilities,
Dell SonicWALL NGFWs are able to block
trac from dangerous domains or entire
geographies in order to reduce the risk
profile of the network.
Application intelligence
and control
Application intelligence informs
administrators of application trac
traversing their network, so they can
schedule application controls based on
business priority, throttle unproductive
applications, and block potentially
dangerous applications. Real-time
visualization identifies trac anomalies
as they happen, enabling immediate
countermeasures against potential
inbound or outbound attacks or
performance bottlenecks.
Dell SonicWALL Application Trac
Analytics provide granular insight
into application trac, bandwidth
utilization and security threats, as well as
powerful troubleshooting and forensics
capabilities. Additionally, secure Single
Sign-On (SSO) capabilities ease user
experience, increase productivity
and reduce support calls. The Dell
SonicWALL Global Management System
(GMS
®
) simplifies management of
application intelligence and control
using an intuitive web-based interface.
