Next-generation firewalls (NGFWs) have become the norm in network security for organizations of all sizes. Unlike their predecessors which offered limited protection from today’s continually evolving threats, NGFWs deliver a much deeper level of security across wired and wireless networks. Not only do they inspect every byte of every packet while maintaining the high performance and low latency that busy networks require, they also combine high-performance Transport Layer Security/Secure Sockets Layer (TLS/SSL) decryption and inspection, an intrusion prevention system (IPS) that features sophisticated anti-evasion technology and a network-based malware protection system that leverages the power of cloud intelligence. This powerful combination enables organizations to block sophisticated new threats that emerge on a daily basis.

SonicWall NGFWs provide organizations of any size a deeper level of network security without compromising network performance. Designed with a scalable, multi-core hardware architecture plus patent-pending Real-Time Deep Memory Inspection (RTDMI) and patented1, single-pass, low latency, Reassembly-Free Deep Packet Inspection® (RFDPI) engines, these high-performance security appliances efficiently scan all traffic regardless of port or protocol. In addition to advanced TLS/SSL decryption and IPS capabilities, SonicWall NGFWs also have access to the SonicWall Capture Cloud Platform which contains tens of millions of malware variants. In addition they are easy to manage and deliver a low total cost of ownership.
