small and medium-sized businesses
(SMBs), remote and branch offices and
retail point-of-sale locations.

The Dell SonicWALL Global

Management System (GMS) enables
deployment and management of
SonicWALL TZ series firewalls from a
single system at the central office.

SonicWALL TZ series firewalls provide

broad protection with advanced
security services consisting of on-box
and cloud-based anti-malware, antispyware, intrusion prevention system
(IPS), and URL filtering. To counter the
trend of encrypted attacks, the new
SonicWALL TZ series has the processing
power to inspect encrypted SSL
connections against the latest threats.

In order for SMBs to grow, they must

embrace new technologies such as
mobility and the cloud. However, these
new technologies can expose SMBs
to malicious attacks. All businesses,
regardless of size, need full protection.
To accomplish this, the SonicWALL TZ
series provides an integrated solution
that inspects the entire network traffic
including encrypted SSL connections.

Backed by the Dell SonicWALL Global

Response Intelligent Defense (GRID)
network, the SonicWALL TZ series
delivers continuous updates to maintain
a strong network defense against
cybercriminals. The SonicWALL TZ series
is able to scan every byte of every packet
on all ports and protocols with almost
zero latency and no file size limitations.

Global management and reporting

For larger, distributed enterprise deployments, the optional Dell SonicWALL Global Management System (GMS) provides administrators
a unified, secure and extensible platform to manage Dell SonicWALL security appliances. It enables enterprises to easily consolidate
the management of security appliances, reduce administrative and troubleshooting complexities and governs all operational aspects
of the security infrastructure including centralized policy management and enforcement, real-time event monitoring, analytics and
reporting, and more. GMS also meets the firewall change management requirements of enterprises through a workflow automation
feature. GMS provides a better way to manage network security by business processes and service levels that dramatically simplify the
lifecycle management of your overall security environments rather than on a device-by-device basis.

Reassembly-Free Deep Packet Inspection (RFDPI) engine

The RFDPI engine provides superior threat protection and application control without compromising performance. This patented
engine inspects the traffic stream to detect threats at Layers 3-7. The RFDPI engine takes network streams through extensive and
repeated normalization and decryption in order to neutralize advanced evasion techniques that seek to confuse detection engines
and sneak malicious code into the network. Once a packet undergoes the necessary preprocessing, including SSL decryption,
it is analyzed against a single proprietary memory representation of three signature databases: intrusion attacks, malware and
applications. The connection state is then advanced to represent the position of the stream relative to these databases until it
encounters a state of attack, or another match event, at which point a pre-set action is taken. As malware is identified, the
SonicWALL firewall terminates the connection before any compromise can be achieved and properly logs the event. However,
the engine can also be configured for inspection only or, in the case of application detection, to provide Layer 7 bandwidth
management services for the remainder of the application stream as soon as the application is identified.

Extensible architecture for extreme scalability and performance

The RFDPI engine is designed from the ground up with an emphasis on providing security scanning at a high performance level,
to match both the inherently parallel and ever-growing nature of network traffic. When combined with multi-core processor
systems, this parallel-centric software architecture scales up perfectly to address the demands of deep packet inspection at high
traffic loads. The SonicWALL TZ Series platform relies on processors that, unlike x86, are optimized for packet, crypto and network
processing while retaining flexibility and programmability in the fielda weak point for ASICs systems. This flexibility is essential
when new code and behavior updates are necessary to protect against new attacks that require updated and more sophisticated
detection techniques.
