SonicWALL products

Organizations of all sizes depend on their networks to access internal and external mission-critical applications. Yet increasingly sophisticated and financially-motivated network attacks compromise data, disrupt communications and degrade performance. Malicious attacks penetrate outdated stateful packet inspection firewalls by exploiting higher network levels. Point products add layers of security, but are costly, difficult to manage, limited in controlling network misuse and ineffective against the latest multipronged attacks. The SonicWALL NSA Series revolutionizes network protection, utilizing a breakthrough multi-core design and multi-tiered threat protection without compromising network performance.

NSA-Series

The SonicWALL® Network Security Appliance (NSA) Series overcomes the limitations of existing security solutions by scanning the entirety of each packet for current internal and external threats in real time. Built on a high-speed multi-core processing platform, the NSA Series enables deep packet inspection without adversely impacting the performance of mission-critical networks and applications.

The NSA Series applies next-generation Unified Threat Management (UTM) against a comprehensive array of attacks, combining intrusion prevention, anti-virus and anti-spyware with the application-level control of SonicWALL Application Firewall. With advanced routing, stateful high-availability and high-speed VPN technology, the NSA Series adds security, reliability, functionality and productivity to branch offices, central sites and distributed mid-enterprise networks, while minimizing cost and complexity.
