With triple the firewall throughput compared to previous SonicWall appliances, new NSa and NSsp models help organizations keep pace with the speeds of their growing networks
SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 5 July 2021 – SonicWall today announced three new high-performance
firewall models for enterprises and large organizations — NSa 4700,
NSa 6700 and NSsp 13700 — designed to accelerate network
throughput, stop advanced cyberattacks like ransomware, and securely connect
millions of users. Featuring some of the
highest port densities in their class, the new appliances help enterprises keep
pace with the speeds of their growing networks — all while drastically reducing total cost of ownership
(TCO).
“The growing volume of ransomware attacks has
enterprises and government agencies moving quickly to evaluate their mitigation
capabilities and strengthen their security postures,” said SonicWall President
and CEO Bill Conner. “The recent string of highly publicized cyberattacks has
catapulted security to the top of the priority list. We’re there to help by
delivering multiple options to cost-effectively protect even the largest
environments. With higher port densities and more capacity, the new offerings
dramatically disrupt the traditional cost structure as organizations need fewer
appliances to secure the same environment.”
New
NSa Firewalls Disrupt Cost Expectations by Tripling Throughput,
Expanding Port Densities
The new
SonicWall NSa 4700 and NSa 6700 next-generation firewalls deliver
18 and 36 Gbps of firewall throughput — three times the previous comparable
SonicWall appliances. Both also support critical TLS 1.3 encryption standards.
“When designing large networks, high-bandwidth
interfaces are a critical component,” said NW Technology owner Ryan Oord.
“SonicWall’s new NSa series provides interface options that fit the
different needs of varying and sizable networks.”
The
NSa models boast some of the highest port densities in their class; the
NSa 6700 even offers both 40G and 25G connectivity, delivering
multi-gigabit threat protection for large environments. These higher port
densities, coupled with hardware redundancy and high availability, allow distributed
enterprises to purchase fewer appliances while supporting more secure
connections as their networks grow.
The NSa 4700 and NSa 6700 provide
up to 115,000 and 153,000 connections, respectively, per second. They also
support up to 2 million or 6 million concurrent DPI connections, and up to
4,000 or 6,000 site-to-site VPN tunnels.
High-Performance
NSsp 13700 Firewalls Designed To Protect The Fastest, Most Complex
Environments
The new SonicWall
NSsp 13700 is an advanced next-generation firewall for high-speed threat
protection designed for enterprise-class networks and MSSPs that supports
millions of encrypted connections.
The NSsp 13700 next-generation firewall
delivers elite speeds for threat prevention throughput (45.5 Gbps), IPS (48
Gbps) and IPsec (29 Gbps), and include scalable hardware architecture with high
port density. Like SonicWall’s other new offerings, the NSsp 13700 supports
the latest TLS 1.3 encryption standard.
Research Tools, Centralized Repository
Information-sharing and collaboration is a critical component of an
organization’s defensive posture. SonicWall is consolidating access to threat
research and security news through the Capture
Labs Portal, a free and centralized repository of
research tools available to the public where visitors can track malicious actors and remain up to date
with latest zero-day vulnerabilities.
To help expedite remediation,
the Capture Labs Portal offers a single repository to
look up threat signature, CVE details, IP reputation, and URL reputation,
making it effortless to do your threat research from a single interface.
SonicWall PSIRT advisories and Capture Labs threat
researcher blogs with news regarding the latest vulnerabilities can be easily
and quickly
in response to emerging threats, attack vectors or vulnerabilities.
Simplify Secure SD-WAN Deployment,
Management with New Orchestration and Monitoring Capabilities
Enterprises,
service providers, government agencies and MSSPs can efficiently manage large-scale
deployments with SonicWall’s cloud-native Network Security Manager (NSM), which
delivers a single, easy-to-use cloud interface for streamlined management,
analytics and reporting.
With
NSM 2.3, network infrastructure
teams can quickly troubleshoot and resolve issues as they monitor secure SD-WAN
landscapes in real time. Administrators
can monitor the health and performance of complete SD-WAN environments to
ensure consistent configurations and drive optimal application performance.
SD-WAN
environments are now easily organized using
SonicWall’s new and intuitive self-guided workflow as well as the use of
Templates that allow the provisioning of thousands of remote firewalls
efficiently.
Enterprises also
can leverage the NSM wizard-based setup process to ensure proper configuration
for site-to-site VPN connectivity, and use the monitoring tools to track the
connections and ensure optimum performance.
Optimize Productivity
with Enhanced Network Visibility, Monitoring and Reporting
Managing employees’ internet utilization and behavior can be
challenge for organizations. SonicWall has enhanced network visibility and
reporting capabilities across security devices, users, VPN connections and
more.
SonicWall Analytics 3.1 delivers Productivity Reports to provide insights into
employees’ internet utilization and behavior. Generated
snapshots and drill-down reports can classify users’ web activities into
productivity groups such as productive, unproductive, acceptable, unacceptable
or custom-defined groups.
Drill-down capabilities enable analysts to easily and quickly pivot and
investigate data points of interest at the user level, and establish
evidence-backed, policy-controlled measures for risky users and applications as
they unfold in the discovery process.
New VPN Reports allow organizations to summarize what company resources are
being accessed inside VPN tunnels, how much bandwidth they are consuming and by
whom. Network admins can leverage this information for monitoring
business-critical applications, controlling or shaping traffic, and planning
for capacity growth.
Zero-Trust Security Offering Expanded to Include More Granular Control
Secure Access 1.1, and the addition of new Network Traffic Control that enforces
access control to the resources based on user groups, IP addresses, ports and
network protocols.
