Overview
Each SonicWALL network security appliance can be configured into a customized solution with an expanding array of security services designed to integrate seamlessly into a network and provide complete protection. Each appliance is capable of integrating support for gateway anti-virus, anti-spyware, intrusion prevention, enforced desktop anti-virus, content filtering and more. SonicWALL appliances also intelligently enforce and dynamically update each of these services as new updates become available. And with SonicWALL, businesses can avoid the integration and maintenance problems that often result from sourcing, installing, and maintaining multiple security products and services from multiple vendors.
Comprehensive Gateway Security Suite
Regardless of their size, today's organizations face many of the same issues: enhancing network security, increasing employee productivity and improving network reporting. However, today's small business networks are susceptible to the same types of attacks as those faced by larger networks, and managing a series of point products is time consuming and expensive.
Gateway Anti-Virus, Anti-Spyware and Intrusion Prevention Service
SonicWALL Gateway Anti-Virus, Anti-Spyware and Intrusion Prevention Service delivers intelligent, real-time network security protection against a comprehensive array of dynamic threats including viruses, spyware, worms, Trojans and software vulnerabilities such as buffer overflows, as well as backdoor exploits and other malicious code. As an added layer of security, this powerful solution provides application layer attack protection not only against external threats, but also against those originating inside the network. SonicWALL Gateway Anti-Virus, Anti-Spyware and Intrusion Prevention Service closes potential backdoors by inspecting over a multitude of e-mail, Web, file transfer and stream-based protocols as well as instant messaging (IM) and peer-to-peer (P2P) applications.
Global Security Client
The SonicWALL Global Security Client combines personal firewall software and the SonicWALL Global VPN Client in a single, easy-to-use solution, extending comprehensive desktop security to mobile workers and corporate networks. Central policy configuration, distribution and management at the gateway greatly improve employee productivity and network efficiency while preventing the use of inappropriate and unproductive applications. The Global Security Client provides network administrators with the tools to configure and distribute granular policies by IP address or operating system for added flexibility.
Content Filtering Service

Featuring a dynamic rating and caching architecture, SonicWALL CFS blocks multiple categories of objectionable Web content, providing the ideal combination of control and flexibility to ensure the highest levels of productivity and protection. As an added benefit, SonicWALL CFS solutions can be managed through any SonicWALL firewall, eliminating the need for a costly, dedicated filtering server.
