• SonicWALL’s Next-Generation Firewall including Reassembly-Free Deep Packet Inspection™ (RFDPI) tightly integrates intrusion prevention, malware protection, and newly enhanced application intelligence and control with real-time visualization.
• Powerful intrusion prevention protects against a comprehensive array of network-based application layer threats by scanning packet payloads for worms, Trojans, software vulnerabilities, application exploits, and other malicious code.
• Application intelligence, control and visualization provides granular control and real-time visualization of applications to guarantee bandwidth prioritization and ensure maximum network security and productivity.
• Reassembly-Free Deep Packet Inspection technology provides control for over 2,800 applications and detects millions of pieces of malware to protect the network automatically and seamlessly, while inspecting hundreds of thousands of connections simultaneously across all ports, with near zero latency and unlimited stream size.
• Flexible deployment as either a traditional gateway or as an inline solution allows administrators to keep their existing network infrastructure, while adding application intelligence and control as an extra layer of security and visibility.
• Deep Packet Inspection of SSL-encrypted traffic (DPI SSL) transparently decrypts and scans both inbound and outbound HTTPS traffic using SonicWALL RFDPI. The traffic is then re-encrypted and sent to its original destination if no threats or vulnerabilities are discovered.
• The SonicWALL Global Response Intelligent Defense (GRID) Network continually updates threat protection, intrusion detection and prevention and application control services on a 24x7 basis to maximize security. The full suite of threat prevention services can defend against over a million unique malware attacks.
