Dell announced that its SonicWALL SuperMassive E10800 next-generation firewall (NGFW), running SonicOS 6.0 and integrated Intrusion Prevention Service, again has earned the coveted Recommended rating in the NSS Labs 2014 Next-Generation Firewall Security Value Map. NSS Labs is one of the industry’s most influential third-party evaluators providing independent validation for IT administrators seeking the best-performing security products to protect their networks.
The Dell SonicWALL SuperMassive E10000 Next-Generation Firewall Series delivers effective firewall, intrusion prevention and deep security scaled to the largest networks-at multi-gigabit speeds, without the complexity of having to manage separate appliances, GUIs and deployments. It utilizes Dell’s patented Reassembly-Free Deep Packet Inspection engine to detect and prevent the advanced evasion techniques used to conceal traditional intrusion attacks at all layers of the network stack. The solution uniquely scans every byte of every packet of inbound and outbound traffic, regardless of port and protocol, and delivers full content inspection of both plain text and SSL encrypted traffic.
Dell SonicWALL’s IPS adds to these deep security capabilities with advanced context awareness that includes geo-location visibility, user identification, and application identification. Dell SonicWALL next-generation firewalls also offer inspection and identification of documents and content, and can scan for administrator-specified custom content like text strings and credit card numbers.
