New NSsp, NSa firewalls quadruple threat prevention performance designed for distributed enterprises, governments and MSSPs

SonicWall has announced the latest additions of its Generation 7 cybersecurity evolution, the largest in the company’s 30-year history. Driven by this innovation, SonicWall unifies cloud, virtual and hardware offerings across a single and fully integrated cloud-powered platform.

SonicWall’s achievement is marked by the introduction of three new high-performance firewall models – NSa 5700, NSsp 10700 and NSsp 11700 – designed to protect the largest and most complex enterprises, government agencies and MSSPs from advanced cyberattacks, including ransomware and never-before-seen malware, without sacrificing network performance.

“More than two years ago, SonicWall set out to evolve its cybersecurity portfolio to meet the diverse needs of our customers and partners across a variety of complex on-premises, hybrid cloud and multi-cloud environments,” said SonicWall President and CEO Bill Conner.

“As a sign of that commitment, we’re proud to announce the completion of a unified foundation that helps protect our customers with more simplicity, flexibility and cost-effectiveness than ever before. As always, our mission remains protecting our loyal users, organizations and data, no matter the environment. This is the next phase of many in exceeding those objectives.”

The company’s most advanced cybersecurity offerings couldn’t come at a better time. SonicWall Capture Labs recorded a 148% increase in global ransomware attacks through the third quarter of 2021. With 495 million ransomware attacks logged by the company this year to date, 2021 will be the most costly and dangerous year on record.

All 17 Virtual, Physical Firewalls Managed from the Cloud
The company’s advanced collection of 17 virtual and physical firewall offerings on the Generation 7 platform ensure that organizations of any size – in any industry – are all able to implement SonicWall’s Boundless Cybersecurity model.

SonicWall’s entire line of TZ, NSa, NSsp and NSv (virtual) firewalls can be quickly managed by the cloud-native Network Security Manager (NSM), which gives distributed enterprises a single, easy-to-use cloud interface for streamlined management, analytics and reporting.

“An increasing number of our customers in the APAC region have adopted cloud-based data storage solutions as a result of switching to a hybrid work environment. However, this has left them vulnerable to cyber and ransomware attacks,” said Debasish Mukherjee, Vice President of Sales, APAC, SonicWall. “SonicWall’s centrally managed cloud-delivered console has helped them to safeguard against potential threats with its powerful firewalls, combining the performance of their cloud, virtual and hardware security offerings.”

“As a long-time SonicWall partner, we’ve witnessed first-hand the innovation the company has made to their end-to-end platform and the impact it’s made in how we protect our customers,” said Sebastian Lindner, Managing Director, TARADOR GmbH. “SonicWall built years of trust with the heritage of their powerful firewalls, but now has transformed the price-to-performance ratio with more cloud, virtual and hardware security offerings that can be managed, together, from a single cloud-delivered console.”

New NSsp Models Push Security, Performance Thresholds to Protect Complex Hybrid Environments
The new SonicWall NSsp 10700 and NSsp 11700 firewalls are designed to protect enterprise-class networks – as well as provide more powerful options for MSSPs – by delivering up to four times the threat protection of previous-generation SonicWall offerings. This includes high marks for firewall throughout (42 Gbps for the 10700, 47 Gbps for the 11700), threat throughput (27, 35 Gbps), IPS (28, 37 Gbps) and VPN performance (23, 27 Gbps).

The NSsp 10700 and NSsp 11700 both offer 100G, 25G and 10G connectivity, delivering multi-gigabit threat protection for large environments. These higher port densities, coupled with hardware redundancy and high availability, allow distributed enterprises and large government agencies to purchase fewer appliances while supporting more secure connections as their networks grow.

With the addition of the new NSsp models, SonicWall now offers four government- and enterprise-grade firewalls: NSsp 10700, 11700, 13700 and 15700. This variety gives large organizations choice when scaling high-performance security – up to 105 Gbps of firewall throughput on the NSsp 15700 – for even the most demanding and complex environments.

Complete, TCO-Friendly Security for Mid-Range Businesses
To help mid-range businesses and organizations manage total cost of ownership (TCO) during challenging times, SonicWall also announces the new NSa 5700, the final addition to the company’s Generation 7 evolution.

SonicWall NSa firewalls serve as the security backbone of hybrid environments and complement virtual SonicWall security offerings. This helps organizations cost-effectively deploy, protect and manage multiple or distributed locations without exceeding CapEx limits.

Similar to the new NSsp offerings, the new NSa 5700 accelerates secure network performance with new standards in firewall throughput (28 Gbps) and threat prevention throughput (15 Gbps) – more than four times the previous comparable SonicWall appliances. This improvement is complemented by similar increases in IPS (17 Gbps) and VPN (15 Gbps) speeds.

Stop Advanced Cyberattacks, Ransomware with Capture ATP and RTDMI
Armed with any of the latest TZ, NSa, NSsp or NSv firewalls, organizations can instantly harness the power provided by the multi-engine Capture Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) sandbox service to stop today’s most advanced cyberattacks, including ransomware.

Capture ATP includes patented Real-Time Deep Memory InspectionTM, which together posted a ‘perfect score’ during the ICSA Labs Advanced Threat Detection Q3 2021 certification testing – and with no false positives. This was the third straight perfect score from Capture ATP and the seventh consecutive ICSA Labs ATD certification overall.

The company’s RTDMI(TM) technology discovered 307,516 never-before-seen malware variants (+73%) during the first three quarters of 2021, with an average of 1,126 discoveries per day.

Company’s virtual offerings, cloud services match with on-premises deployments to solve real-world security challenges for SMBs, enterprises, governments and MSSPs

SonicWall, a global leader in physical, virtual and cloud-focused cybersecurity solutions, is emphasizing the return of customer choice for securing and scaling a mix of cloud, hybrid and traditional environments.

“Too many times organizations have been forced to change the way they operate in order to secure access to their networks, data, devices and people,” said SonicWall President and CEO Bill Conner. “We’ve been busy innovating cloud and virtual solutions that help organizations secure complex blends of networks, including virtual, hybrid, cloud and on-premises deployments.”

Debasish Mukherjee, Vice President of Sales, APAC, SonicWall added “The new normal has forced organizations in Asia Pacific to think about sustainable digitalization, which necessitates changes in the way they operate. Organizations in Asia Pacific are increasingly shifting their focus towards securing their cloud networks as part of their digitalization roadmap.”

SonicWall’s growing virtual, cloud and hybrid offerings leverage the best of the company’s Boundless Cybersecurity approach to return deployment choices to the customer while solving real-world use cases faced by SMBs, enterprises, governments and MSSPs. SonicWall’s core cloud solution offerings:

• Solve security and connectivity challenges for cloud-native and hybrid environments.
• Secure access to cloud and on-premises applications and virtualized workloads through modern zero-trust capabilities.
• Protect increasingly distributed and remote workforces through powerful virtualized security layers and zero-touch capabilities.
• Simplify threat detection and response by unifying security events and analytics in a single cloud-based dashboard, allowing easy visualization and management of high-risk alerts.

“The modern IT environment is rife with complexity that drives security and connectivity challenges, which can be further complicated when organizations require hybrid environments comprised of physical, virtual and SaaS offerings, and private and public cloud solutions,” said IDC Research Director Chris Rodriguez. “Cybersecurity vendors that support these deployment options add tremendous financial and operational flexibility for their customers, and are also well suited for organizations that are in different stages of their cloud journey.”

SonicWall Solves Today’s Complex Security, Connectivity Challenges
SonicWall’s cloud innovation is driven by the need to solve complex security and connectivity challenges by delivering power, flexibility and choice to customers and partners. SonicWall has collaborated with organizations worldwide to build some of the most secure and robust hybrid networks.

“The University of Pisa connects and secures a wide and distributed network of systems, users, applications and services to ensure our institution can provide the highest levels of on-campus and remote learning,” said University of Pisa CIO Antonio Cisternino. “It’s imperative that we’re able to use the same trusted security controls, regardless of how we deploy them. Through their growing range of virtual, cloud and hybrid offerings, SonicWall gives us that choice and flexibility without sacrificing the security standards we require to protect and enable students, faculty and staff.”

SonicWall ensures organizations are able to set their own deployment paths and cloud migration timelines – not forcing them into a rigid vendor-first approach. By providing cloud-based (e.g., virtual firewall and VPN), as-a-service (e.g., ZTNA, FWaaS) and on-premises (e.g., firewalls, VPN) options, SonicWall empowers customers to deploy what works for their architecture – and adopt cloud transformation at their pace.

These real-world hybrid environments are secured using a cohesive mix of virtual, cloud and on-premises offerings, including SonicWall NSv virtual firewalls, Cloud Edge Secure Access zero-trust security, appliance-free SMA virtual private networks (VPN), and Cloud App Security to protect SaaS applications.

Organizations are able to further scale and extend distributed environments by simultaneously deploying security across multiple locations – with minimal IT support – using Zero-Touch Deployment capabilities.

Implement Zero-Trust Security in as Few ’15 Minutes’
With the influx of work-from-home access, companies require a simple and secure way of connecting their workforce to resources they need – wherever they’re located.

SonicWall embraces zero-trust security as a tenet of cybersecurity in a perimeter-less, cloud-first reality. SonicWall helps organizations easily and quickly connect remote users to on-premises resources, cloud-hosted applications, branch offices and public clouds.

In as few as 15 minutes, SonicWall Cloud Edge Secure Access – the company’s zero-trust network access (ZTNA) offering – quickly scales security beyond the perimeter through modern zero-trust principles. This results in logical trust zones that authenticate every user, device and location for secure access to only the specific services and resources they require.

Simplify Threat Detection, Visibility & Response
New in SonicWall Capture Security Center 3.0, Unified Insights brings analytics from across SonicWall products, including physical and virtual firewalls, wireless access points, switches and endpoint security products into a single, customizable dashboard. This provides a central, easy-to-use location for monitoring environments and troubleshooting incidents, eliminating the need to multi-task across different consoles.

Paired with SonicWall Analytics, Capture Security Center 3.0 can transform large volumes of data (spanning tens of thousands of firewall nodes) into actionable insights and defensive actions against hidden risks across networks, applications and users – all with the visibility, precision, speed and scale of the cloud.

Integrate Cloud-delivered Threat Protection Across Hybrid Environments
Regardless of deployment strategy, SonicWall ensures organizations can identify and block both known and unknown cyberattacks across traditional networks, public and private cloud infrastructure, and virtual environments by seamlessly integrating SonicWall physical and virtual firewalls when and where it makes sense for your business. The foundation of this ecosystem integrates with SonicWall’s cloud-based Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) multi-engine sandbox service to stop advanced cyberattacks, including never-before-seen malware and ransomware.
