SonicWall Better on Every Level

100% Detection. No False Positives.

Based on superior performance, SonicWall firewalls, including the TZ, NSa, NSsp and NSv series, earned both the ICSA Enterprise Firewall certification and the ICSA Anti-Malware Certification. And in recent ICSA Labs Advanced Threat Defense Q1 testing, the SonicWall Capture Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) sandbox service with patented RTDMI™ (available on firewalls and other SonicWall products) identified 100% of previously unknown threats without a single false positive. That’s a score unbeaten by any competitors.

Simple. Scalable. Seamless.

Which sounds easier to manage: four different firewall products and three different operating systems, with three separate management platforms to wrangle them — or single-pane-of-glass simplicity? With SonicWall, you can control your firewall, switches, wireless access points and other SonicWall products from a single integrated interface. You have the confidence of knowing no matter which combination of products you choose or where you deploy them, they’ll function seamlessly and will scale as a true platform solution.
