sonic firewall

SonicOS Platform The SonicOS architecture is at the core of every SonicWall physical and virtual firewall including the NSv and NSa Series, SuperMassive Series and TZ Series. Refer to the SonicWall SonicOS Platform datasheet for the complete list of features and capabilities. Automated breach prevention NSv delivers complete advanced threat protection, including high-performance intrusion and malware prevention, and cloud-based sandboxing with SonicWall’s RTDMI technology

NSv strengthens internal security by enabling segmentation of the network into multiple security zones, with intrusion prevention service keeping threats from propagating across the zone boundaries. Creating and applying access rules and NAT policies to traffic passing through the various interfaces, it can allow or deny internal or external network access based on various criteria.

 

NSv ensures the data exchange between groups of virtual machines is done securely, including isolation, confidentiality, integrity, and information flow control within these networks via the use of segmentation.

 

NSv blocks information theft and illegitimate access to protected data and services.

SonicWave APs take advantage of the capabilities in 802.11ac Wave 2 plus features such as band steering and a built-in 2.5 GbE port to deliver highspeed wireless performance. Other features, including 4x4 MU-MIMO and beamforming, improve performance in higher density environments when using bandwidth-intensive applications such as HD multimedia, and cloud and mobile apps.

Each SonicWave access point includes three radios. One operates in the less crowded 5 GHz frequency band, reducing interference from other devices while strengthening signal reliability. Another operates in the 2.4 GHz band to support legacy 802.11b/g/n clients. The third radio is dedicated to security and performs rogue AP detection, passive scanning and packet capturing. With four transmitting and four receiving antennas plus support for 4x4 MU-MIMO, SonicWave APs are engineered to optimize signal quality, range and reliability for wireless devices including Wave 2-enabled clients.

For organizations with a substantial long-term investment in 802.11n, the SonicWALL SonicPoint N2 features an enterprise wireless chipset, dual radios, high-speed performance and all the advantages that SonicWALL Wireless Network Security solutions offer.

SonicWall firewalls scan all wireless traffic coming into and going out of the network using deep packet inspection technology and then remove harmful threats such as malware and intrusions, even over SSL/ TLS encrypted connections. Other security and control capabilities such as content filtering, application control and intelligence and Capture Advanced Threat Protection provide added layers of protection. The Wireless Network Security solution also integrates additional security-related features including wireless intrusion detection and prevention, virtual access point segmentation, wireless guest services, RF monitoring and wireless packet capture.

When a wireless device uses a SonicWall SonicPoint ACe wireless access point to communicate with a wireless device on anothersubnet or on a completely different network, traffic between the devices is forced to traverse the SonicWall network security appliance. This traversal enables security services to be enforced by SonicOS. Standard practice for wireless firewalling (where one wireless client is communicating with another) bypasses many of the critical security services. The following illustration shows the standard practice for wireless firewalling.

• SonicWall SonicPoint ACe access points are centrally managed by SonicWall network security appliances running the following versions of SonicOS:

• SonicOS 5.9.1.6 or a higher 5.9 release

• SonicOS 6.2.5.1 or higher

• Use the supplied power adaptor or an 802.3at compliant PoE injector or a PoE switch capable of providing 25 watts of power to each SonicPoint ACe.

• An active Internet connection is required for your firewall to download the latest SonicPoint firmware.

• 802.11ac wireless hardware requires more bandwidth than a single (or even dual) 10/100 Ethernet connection can handle. Gigabit Ethernet connectivity between the WLAN and the LAN is required to take full advantage of 802.11ac speed.
