Internet security company SonicWall has unveiled new secure SD-Branch capabilities and a complete line of new multi-gigabit switches to scale and manage remote or branch locations cost-effectively
SonicWall President and CEO Bill Conner said, “Business success often coincides with expansion, leading to an increased need for visibility, security and bandwidth across a distributed organisation.
“As the world begins to re-open its doors, organisations must re-architect for the ‘new business normal’, which includes implementing cost-effective, software-defined networking and security principles across the business.”
New SonicWall secure SD-Branch capabilities deliver single-pane glass management across LAN, WAN and security controls to simplify the management needs associated with distributed locations, campuses, and branch offices.
Complementary Zero-Touch deployment capabilities help address cybersecurity expert shortages by allowing for quick deployment of appliances and services. Cost efficient secure SD-WAN enables organisations to leverage less expensive Internet connections. Organisations can also choose cost-effective subscription license models for cost control and operational overhead reduction.
The new multi-gigabit switch line from SonicWall works seamlessly with SonicWall next-generation firewalls and SonicWave wireless access points, creating an end-to-end multi-gigabit network that can be easily managed through Capture Security Centre, a scalable security management system for cloud security.
Outside the confines of corporate networks, employees guarantee the same protection as they do when mobile or working from home. SonicWall Capture Client helps with configured policies to control and manage the content accessed by endpoints that allow or block access to various websites.
This allows the management of endpoint security and content filtering from the same management console, and includes reporting web activity for easier monitoring.
Common operating systems including endpoints using Windows, Windows Server, Mac and Linux are protected from malware and other malicious attacks through autonomous detection and protection in mission-critical data centres or a standalone/disconnected network.
A combination of SonicWall Capture Client, Secure Mobile Access and Cloud Application Security can provide protection for end-users, devices and applications beyond the traditional network, as the number of endpoints becomes increasingly significant challenges for IT departments to manage and protect.
The distributed IT reality creates an unprecedented burst of exposure points across companies, SMBs and governments. SonicWall’s unified Boundless Cybersecurity platform handles the most evasive and cutting-edge threats to remote, mobile and cloud-enabled users across a ‘boundless’ work force.
This approach protects organisations across a range of vectors of attack, including networks, email, mobile and remote access, cloud, SaaS, endpoints, IoT devices, and Wi-Fi.
