Capture Advanced Threat Protection Service (CATPS)
For effective zero-day threat protection, organizations need solutions that include malware-analysis technologies and can detect evasive advanced threats and malware — today and tomorrow.

To protect customers against the increasing dangers of zero-day threats, SonicWall Capture Advanced Threat Protection Service — a cloud-based service available with SonicWall firewalls — detects and and can block advanced threats at the gateway until verdict. This service is the only advanced threat-detection offering that combines multi-layer sandboxing, including full system emulation and virtualization techniques, to analyze suspicious code behavior. This powerful combination detects more threats than single-engine sandbox solutions, which are compute environment specific and susceptible to evasion.

Key Benefits
  • High security effectiveness against unknown threats
  • Near real-time signature deployment protects from follow on attacks
  • Reduced total cost of ownership
  • Block files at the gateway until verdict
  • Multiple engines process files in parallel for rapid verdicts
  • SonicWall's RTDMI engine blocks unknown mass-market malware utilizing real-time memory-based inspection techniques

The solution scans traffic and extracts suspicious code for analysis, but unlike other gateway solutions, analyzes a broad range of file sizes and types (including executable programs, DLL, PDFs, MS Office documents, archives, JAR and APK). Global threat intelligence infrastructure rapidly deploys remediation signatures for newly identified threats to all SonicWall network security appliances, thus preventing further infiltration. Customers benefit from high-security effectiveness, fast response times and reduced total cost of ownership.

The SonicWall Capture reporting page displays daily at a glance results. Colored bars on the report indicate days where malware was discovered. Administrators have the ability to click on individual daily results and apply filters to quickly see malicious files with results.

Features
Multi-engine advanced threat analysis

SonicWall Capture Service extends firewall threat protection to detect and prevent zero-day attacks. The firewall inspects traffic, and detects and blocks intrusions and known malware. Suspicious files are sent to the SonicWall Capture cloud service for analysis. The multi-engine sandbox platform, which includes virtualized sandboxing, full system emulation and hypervisorlevel analysis technology, executes suspicious code and analyzes behavior, provides comprehensive visibility to malicious activity while resisting evasion tactics and maximizing zero-day threat detection.

Broad file type analysis

The service supports analysis of a broad range of file sizes and types, including executable programs (PE), DLL, PDFs, MS Office documents, archives, JAR and APK, plus multiple operating systems including Windows and Android. Administrators can customize protection by selecting or excluding files to be sent to the cloud for analysis by file type, file size, sender, recipient or protocol. In addition, administrators can manually submit files to the cloud service for analysis.

Blocks until verdict

To prevent potentially malicious files from entering the network, files sent to the cloud service for analysis can be held at the gateway until a verdict is determined.

Rapid deployment of remediation signatures

When a file is identified as malicious, a signature is immediately available to firewalls with SonicWall Capture subscriptions to prevent followon attacks. In addition, the malware is submitted to the SonicWall Capture Labs threat research team for further analysis and inclusion with threat information into the Gateway Anti-Virus and IPS signature databases. Additionally, it is sent to URL, IP and domain reputation databases within 48 hours.

Reporting and alerts

The SonicWall Capture Service provides an at-a-glance threat analysis dashboard and reports, which detail the analysis results for files sent to the service. including source, destination and a summary plus details of malware action once detonated. Firewall log alerts provide notification of suspicious files sent to the SonicWall Capture Service, and file analysis verdict.

Content Filtering Service (CFS) enforces internet use policies that block computers located behind the firewall, from accessing inappropriate and unproductive websites over a LAN, wireless LAN (WLAN), or VPN.

Educational institutions, businesses and government agencies assume substantial risks when they provide students and employees IT-issued computers that can be used to access the Internet, even when the device is behind the firewall perimeter where organizational web use policies are enforced. This is particularly true when those connections are used to access sites containing information or images that are inappropriate, dangerous or even illegal. These sites may also be infected with malware that can be inadvertently downloaded and then used to steal confidential information.

Schools, in particular, have a responsibility to protect students from inappropriate and harmful web content. For businesses and government agencies, providing employees with uncontrolled web access can result in non-productive web surfing, creating tremendous losses in productivity, not to mention the potential for legal liability.

Benefits
  • Best in-class protection
  • Granular content filtering controls
  • Dynamically updated rating architecture
  • Application traffic analytics
  • Easy-to-use web-based management
  • High-performance web caching and rating architecture
  • IP-based HTTPS content filtering
  • Scalable, cost-effective solution
  • Content Filtering Client for roaming devices

CFS running on SonicWall Unified Threat Management and next generation firewalls (NGFWs) is a powerful protection and productivity solution that delivers unequaled content filtering enforcement for educational institutions, businesses, libraries and government agencies. Using SonicWall CFS, organizations have control over the websites students and employees can access using their IT-issued computer behind the firewall.
SonicWall CFS compares requested websites against a massive database in the cloud containing millions of rated URLs, IP addresses and websites. CFS provides administrators with the tools to create and apply policies that allow or deny access to sites based on individual or group identity, or by time of day, for over 56 pre-defined categories. CFS also dynamically caches website ratings locally on the SonicWall firewall for nearinstantaneous response times.

For laptops that are used outside the firewall perimeter, the SonicWall Content Filtering Client addresses safety, security and productivity concerns by extending the controls to block harmful and unproductive web content. The client is automatically deployed and provisioned through a SonicWall firewall. In addition to providing IT administrators the tools to control web-based access for roaming devices, the Content Filtering Client can be configured to automatically switch enforcement to the internal policy once the device reconnects to the network firewall. The client is managed and monitored using a powerful policy and reporting engine in the cloud that is accessed seamlessly from the firewall interface. In the event an outdated client attempts to connect to the internal network to access the Internet, the connection is denied and the user receives a message with steps for remediation.

Features

Granular content filtering allows the administrator to block or apply bandwidth management to all predefined categories or any combination of categories. Administrators can apply User Level Authentication (ULA) and Single Sign-On (SSO) to enforce username and password logon. CFS can block potentially harmful content such as Java™, ActiveX®, and Cookies, as well as schedule filtering by time of day, such as during school or business hours. CFS also enhances performance by filtering out IM, MP3s, streaming media, freeware and other files that drain bandwidth.

Dynamically updated rating architecture cross-references all requested websites against a highly accurate database categorizing millions of URLs, IP addresses and domains. The SonicWall firewall receives ratings in real time, and then compares each rating to the local policy setting. The appliance will then either allow or deny the request based on the administrator’s locally configured policy.

Application traffic analytics suite includes SonicWall Global Management System (GMS®) and SonicWall Analyzer, each of which provides real-time and historic analysis of data transmitted through the firewall, including websites blocked and visited by user.

Easy-to-use web-based management enables flexible policy configuration and complete control over Internet usage. Administrators can enforce multiple custom policies for individual users, groups or specific category types. Local
URL filtering controls can allow or deny specific domains or hosts. To block objectionable and unproductive material more effectively, administrators can also create or customize filtering lists.

High-performance web caching and rating architecture allows administrators to block sites easily and automatically by category. URL ratings are cached locally on the SonicWall firewall, so that response time for subsequent access of frequently visited sites is only a fraction of a second.

IP-based HTTPS content filtering allows administrators to control user access to websites over encrypted HTTPS. HTTPS filtering is based on the categorical rating of websites containing information or images that are objectionable or unproductive such as violence, hate, online banking, shopping and others.

Scalable, cost-effective solution controls content filtering from the SonicWall firewall, eliminating the need for additional hardware or deployment expenditures on a separate dedicated filtering server.

Generation 1, 2, 3 and 4 SonicWall appliances are not eligible to be registered.

8 a.m. – 5 p.m. local time is defined as follows: In North America: 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. Mountain Standard Time (MST). In Latin America: 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. Local Standard Time in the country where the product is deployed. In Europe, Middle East and Africa: 9 a.m. – 6 p.m. GMT +1 In Asia Pacific: 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. Local Standard Time in the country where the product is deployed. In Japan: 5 p.m. – 2 a.m. UTC/GMT

Virtualization is a technique for hiding the physical characteristics of computing resources from the way in which other systems, applications or end users interact with those resources. It is able to make a single physical resource, such as a server, operating system, application or storage device, appear to function as multiple logical devices. It can also make multiple physical resources such as storage devices or servers appear as a single logical resource.

As a result, virtualization enables IT departments to increase the utilization of resources, increase high availability, and simplify back-up, systems administration and recovery procedures. It also allows IT departments to be more responsive to the dynamic needs of the business. Examples of virtualization technologies include VMware ESX® Server, Citrix/XenServer® and Microsoft® Windows Server® 2008 Hyper-V®.

Our products leverage the binary compatibility offered through virtualization technologies, which provide complete transparency to the operating systems and applications deployed. As a result, for all casework received where SonicWall® software products are being used in a virtual environment, we will assume that the problem is common to both native and virtual operating environments, and we will only require the customer to recreate the problem in a native environment if and when there is reason to believe that the problem is unique to the virtual environment itself.

From a purely functional perspective, our products will operate in exactly the same way as in a native environment, however we can make no guarantees with respect to performance or scalability in a virtualization environment running multiple virtual instances. Configuration aspects such as CPU, memory availability, I/O subsystem and network infrastructure can all influence such a deployment, and should be given careful consideration to ensure the virtual layer has the necessary resources available to provide a satisfactory user experience.

We are committed to providing products which work on the latest platforms and technologies available in the industry today. We work closely with technology vendors to ensure earliest possible compatibility with our solutions. We provide full details of all systems requirements, together with platform and third-party product versions supported with our products, in the Release Notes published for each product. These include operating system versions, service pack levels, mail clients or server versions, database versions, browsers and other related technology that we support, and at the version level that our products have been formally tested and certified to run against.

The support of future platform versions, new service packs and other related technologies will be taken into consideration and addressed during the regular product maintenance and release cycles of our products. This provides ongoing upward compatibility of our products as used in customer environments. It should be noted, therefore, that there could be a delay between the availability of the latest platform technology release or service patch, and the product version certified to operate with our products. Please contact Support should you have any questions with regards to the current support status of any product and a particular related platform, patch or third-party product support not explicitly documented in our release notes.

For more information about the latest third-party platforms and versions we support, please review the System Requirements section of the release notes for your product or search our Knowledge Base on the Support Portal. Please note that while we do not directly or officially support third-party software, we work closely with many providers to ensure that our customers receive the best possible service at all times.

When a service request is created by the SonicWall Technical Assistance Center (TAC), a priority is assigned to the service request based on the problem type. Priorities and corresponding response targets are defined as follows:

Remote Configuration & Setup

When you purchase a new firewall, SonicWall support does not cover initial configuration.  We can help you fill this gap by offering the optional add-on, “Remote Configuration & Support” when you purchase any of SonicWall TZ and NSa firewalls or from the Secure Mobile Access product sets.

Our experienced technicians will guide you through the installation and configuration process during an initial telephone consultation, regardless of your level of experience or skill.  All we require is access to the appliance over the internet and a contact phone number for your on-site engineer. The service is for a maximum of 2 hours - additional time can be purchased by prior agreement.

The Process

  1. Remember to tick the “REMOTE CONFIGURATION?” checkbox (above) before adding the device to the basket.  Once you’ve completed the purchase, we will contact you to book a scheduled telephone appointment with one of our engineers*.
  2. You will need to ensure that the appliance is available remotely on HTTPS.**
  3. Our engineer will contact you during the scheduled appointment (please provide a valid telephone number) to guide you through the installation and configuration process.
  4. Our service is tailored for any skill level so if you require additional support (or for more advanced configuration assistance), you can request an additional appointment.
  5. Once we are satisfied that your appliance is up and running, we will provide details of the network configuration, including setup and login details for your records.
  6. You can also expect a post-installation health check to ensure that your appliance is functioning at optimum levels.
  7. If you already have your network configuration planned out, we will implement it accordingly. If you do not have these details, we can advise on best practices, network setups, ranges and policies to ensure the most secure and flexible configuration. Full details will be provided at the end of the process.

* For multiple appliances, you will need to book a session for each installation.

** Although we can advise you on how to enable this, it is your responsibility to perform the required gateway/router changes. You may need to contact your connectivity provider. By default, the device is available on HTTPS.
