SonicOS and Security Services

The SonicOS architecture is at the core of TZ NGFWs. Gen 8 TZs are powered by the feature rich SonicOS 8 operating system with new modern looking UX/UI, advanced security, networking and management capabilities. Gen 8 TZ features integrated SD-WAN, TLS 1.3 support, real-time visualisation, high-speed virtual private networking (VPN) and other robust security features.

Unknown threats are sent to SonicWall’s cloud-based Capture Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) multiengine sandbox for analysis. Enhancing Capture ATP is our patented Real-Time Deep Memory Inspection (RTDMI™) technology. As one of Capture ATP’s engines, RTDMI detects & blocks malware and zero-day threats by inspecting directly in memory.

By leveraging Capture ATP with RTDMI technology, inaddition to security services such as Reassembly-Free Deep Packet Inspection (RFDPI), Anti-virus and Anti-spyware Protection, intrusion prevention system, Application Intelligence and Control, Content Filtering Services, DPI-SSL, TZ series firewalls stop malware, ransomware and other advanced threats at the gateway

Security suites offered with Gen 8 NGFWs have an embedded warranty by Cysurance, of up to $200,000, included at no additional cost.

Users can leverage the new Cloud Secure Edge Connector integration to provide a centralised and easy-to-manage option to provide secure access to their private applications. This approach ensures that user and device trust are repeatedly verified before granting access to specific applications, regardless of location and endpoint type.
