Gateway Anti-Malware, Intrusion Prevention, Application Intelligence and Control
Gateway Anti-Malware - Gateway anti-virus and anti-spyware deliver high performance protection against millions of unique pieces of malware with near zero latency and no file size limitation. This provides a first layer of defense and stops malware before it can reach systems on your network.
Intrusion Prevention - Tightly integrated, countermeasure-based network intrusion prevention protects against a comprehensive array of network and application layer threats by scanning packet payloads for attacks and exploits that attack critical internal systems.
Application Intelligence and Control - SonicWall provides real-time insight and control of network traffic broken down by applications, users and content through intuitive on-board visualization. The ability to prioritize important applications, throttle down unproductive applications and block unwanted application components ensures an efficient and safe network.
Content Filtering Service
SonicWall Content Filtering Service provides granular controls and unequalled content filtering to enforce internet use policies and block access to websites containing information or images that are objectionable or unproductive.
Support Services
Available 8x5 or 24x7, SonicWall Support Services include telephone, email and Web-based technical support, software and firmware update and upgrades, Advance Exchange hardware replacement, plus access to electronic support tools and moderated discussion groups.
Comprehensive Anti-Spam Service
With 94% of email classified as junk, sorting good email from bad can be an administrative nightmare. By adding SonicWall™ Comprehensive Anti-Spam Service (CASS) to a SonicWall firewall, your business can remove junk email at the gateway and quickly ensure the delivery of only good email to your email server. With one-click activation, businesses with up to 250 users can easily stop spam before it enters the network.
Deep Packet Inspection of SSL encrypted traffic (DPI-SSL)
DPI-SSL transparently decrypts, inspects and then re-encrypts SSL encrypted traffic to allow security services to be applied to all traffic that traverses SonicWall next-generation firewalls.
Comprehensive Gateway Security Suite - Service & Support Bundle

The SonicWall Enforced Client Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware service provides an added layer of protection by automatically ensuring network users are actively running the most current McAfee anti-virus software.
General Information
Your organization faces unprecedented security challenges. The sophistication and volume of attacks increase exponentially, resulting in lost company, personal and customer data, stolen intellectual property, damaged reputations and lost productivity. Security is more complex. You need to clarify what is important when assessing alternatives. With the (bring your own) BYO revolution, the explosion of personal devices connecting to the network, led by smartphones and tablets, slows performance and decreases productivity. Also, mobile applications, such as social media and video streaming, consume an enormous amount of bandwidth. This creates two distinct problems: ensuring security and maintaining productivity. IT managers often compromise security by turning of features to maintain network performance.
