Whilst
a permanant ‘always-on’ Internet
connection may support many useful applications
and facilitate seamless information sharing,
they make networks increasingly vulnerable
to hacker attacks. Branch offices, Intranets,
and large, single-site networks seeking
a comprehensive security system to combat
intruders and secure important business
data will find SonicWALL meets their needs.
The SonicWALL is a full-featured Internet
security appliance dedicated to meeting
the demands of larger networks with growing
VPN requirements, allowing companies to
increase productivity by establishing secure
connections with business partners, branch
offices and mobile users. With a SonicWALL
Internet security appliance you get firewall
protection as well as a comprehensive array
of integrated security services, including
anti-virus protection, virtual private networking
(VPN), strong authentication using digital
certificates and Web content filtering.
SonicWALL VPN is a standard feature on the
SonicWALL PRO, providing an easy, affordable,
and secure means for businesses to connect
all offices and partners together. The SonicWALL
PRO supports up to 100 branch offices or
remote access workers and delivers 5Mbps
of Triple-DES VPN throughput. SonicWALL
VPN's Group VPN Tunnel feature and Remote
Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS)
support facilitate easy deployment and management
of VPN clients. SonicWALL VPN is based on
the IPSec standard for VPN, so it may be
used with other VPN products with the same
IPSec implementation, such as Check Point
Firewall-1, Cisco PIX, Nortel Contivity
and Axent Raptor. SonicWALL Internet security
appliances provide complete network security
solutions for a wide range of customers:
from the single telecommuter to a large,
geographically distributed enterprise with
thousands of users. Each SonicWALL product
offers an ICSA certified firewall, integrated
with virus protection, IPSec VPN capabilities,
content filtering and IP address management,
all in one powerful, easy-to-use security
solution.
