High-performance network security from SonicWALL

SonicWALL announced the SonicWALL Network Security Appliance (NSA) 2400 which brings the next generation of Unified Threat Management (UTM) to organizations with less than 100 employees and helps IT administrators manage their security in an increasingly complex network environment.

At the heart of the NSA 2400 is SonicWALL’s patented Reassembly Free Deep Packet Inspection (RFDPI) 8 engine, which uses multicore design to inspect both inbound and outbound network traffic without compromising performance. The powerful combination of a layered UTM approach and deep packet inspection means IT administrators at small businesses no longer have to choose between security and performance, they can have both.

The NSA 2400 offers the same a layered approach found across the entire NSA series, including intrusion prevention, advanced file and content anti-virus/anti-spyware inspection to protect against a wide array of network attacks including, viruses, spyware, worms, Trojans and phishing attacks. It also offers greater application visibility and data leakage capabilities for administrations through the integration of Application Firewall. This feature set delivers a suite of configurable tools to prevent data leaks while providing granular application control that can be set per user, e-mail user, per schedule and per IP subnet levels to create a future proofed solution for administrators.
