The SonicWall Network Security appliance (NSa) series provides organizations that range in scale from mid-sized networks to distributed enterprises and data centers with advanced threat prevention in a high- performance security platform. Utilizing innovative deep learning technologies in the SonicWall Capture Cloud Platform, the NSaseries delivers the automated real-time breach detection and prevention organizations need. Cutting-edge threat prevention with superior performance Today’s network threats are highly evasive and increasingly difficult to identify using traditional methods of detection. Staying ahead of sophisticated attacks requires a more modern approach that heavily leverages security intelligence in the cloud. Without that cloud intelligence, gateway security solutions can’t keep pace with today’s complex threats. NSaseries next- generation firewalls (NGFWs) integrate two advanced security technologies to deliver cutting-edge threat prevention that keeps your network one step ahead. Enhancing SonicWall’s multi-engine Capture Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) service is our patent-pending Real-Time Deep Memory Inspection (RTDMI™) technology. The RTDMI engine proactively detects and blocks mass market, zero-day threats and unknown malware by inspecting directly in memory. Because of the real-time architecture, SonicWall RTDMI technology is precise, minimizes false positives, and identifies and mitigates sophisticated attacks where the malware’s weaponry is exposed for less than 100 nanoseconds. In combination, SonicWall’s patented* single-pass Reassembly-Free Deep Packet Inspection (RFDPI) engine examines every byte of every packet, inspecting both inbound and outbound traffic on the firewall. By leveraging the SonicWall Capture Cloud Platform in addition to on-box capabilities including intrusion prevention, anti-malware and web/URL filtering, the NSaseries blocks even the most insidious threats at the gateway. Further, SonicWall firewalls provide complete protection by performing full decryption and inspection of TLS/ SSL and SSH encrypted connections regardless of port or protocol. The firewall looks deep inside every packet (the header and data) searching for protocol non-compliance, threats, zero-days, intrusions, and even defined criteria. The deep packet inspection engine detects and prevents hidden attacks that leverage cryptography, blocks encrypted malware downloads, ceases the spread of infections, and thwarts command and control (C&C) communications and data exfiltration. Inclusion and exclusion rules allow total control to customize which traffic is subjected to decryption and inspection based on specific organizational compliance and/or legal requirements. When organizations activate deep packet inspection functions such as IPS, anti- virus, anti-spyware, TLS/SSL decryption/ inspection and others on their firewalls, SonicWall Network Security appliance (NSa) series Industry-validated security effectiveness and performance for mid-sized networks, distributed enterprises and data centers Benefits: •Superior threat prevention and performance •Patent-pending real-time deep memory inspection technology •Patented reassembly-free deep packet inspection technology •On-box and cloud-based threat prevention •TLS/SSL decryption and inspection •Industry-validated security effectiveness •Multi-core hardware architecture •Dedicated Capture Labs threat research team Network control and flexibility •Secure SD-WAN •Powerful SonicOS operating system •Application intelligence and control •Network segmentation with VLANs •High-speed wireless security Easy deployment, setup and ongoing management •Zero-Touch Deployment •Cloud-based and on-premises centralized management •Scalable line of firewalls •Low total cost of ownership *U.S. Patents 7,310,815; 7,600,257; 7,738,380; 7,835,361; 7,991,723
2 network performance often slows down, sometimes dramatically. NSaseries firewalls, however, feature a multi-core hardware architecture that utilizes specialized security microprocessors. Combined with our RTDMI and RFDPI engines, this unique design eliminates the performance degradation networks experience with other firewalls. Network control and flexibility At the core of the NSaseries is SonicOS, SonicWall’s feature-rich operating system. SonicOS provides organizations with the network control and flexibility they require through application intelligence and control, real-time visualization, an intrusion prevention system (IPS) featuring sophisticated anti-evasion technology, high-speed virtual private networking (VPN) and other robust security features. Using application intelligence and control, network administrators can identify and categorize productive applications from those that are unproductive or potentially dangerous, and control that traffic through powerful application-level policies on both a per- user and a per-group basis (along with schedules and exception lists). Business- critical applications can be prioritized and allocated more bandwidth while non-essential applications are bandwidth-limited. Real-time monitoring and visualization provides a graphical representation of applications, users and bandwidth usage for granular insight into traffic across the network. For distributed organizations requiring advanced flexibility in their network design, the SD-WAN technology in SonicOS is a perfect complement to NSa firewalls deployed at the headquarters or at remote and branch sites. Instead of relying on more expensive legacy technologies such as MPLS and T1, organizations using SD-WAN can choose lower-cost public Internet services while continuing to achieve a high level of application availability and predictable performance. Built into every NSaseries firewall is a wireless access controller that enables organizations to extend the network perimeter securely through the use of wireless technology. Together, SonicWall firewalls and SonicWave 802.11ac Wave 2 wireless access points create a wireless network security solution that combines industry-leading next- generation firewall technology with high-speed wireless for enterprise-class network security and performance across the wireless network. Easy deployment, setup and ongoing management Like all SonicWall firewalls, the NSa series tightly integrates key security, connectivity and flexibility technologies into a single, comprehensive solution. This includes SonicWave wireless access points and the SonicWall WAN Acceleration (WXA) series, both of which are automatically detected and provisioned by the managing NSafirewall. Consolidating multiple capabilities eliminates the need to purchase and install point products that don’t always work well together. This reduces the effort it takes to deploy the solution into the network and configure it, saving both time and money. Cloud-based centralized management, reporting, licensing and analytics are handled through the SonicWall Capture Security Center. A key component of the Capture Security Center is Zero-Touch Deployment. This cloud-based feature simplifies and speeds the deployment and provisioning of SonicWall firewalls at remote and branch office locations. Together, the simplified deployment and setup along with the ease of management enable organizations to lower their total cost of ownership and realize a high return on investment.

NSaseries firewalls and SonicWave access points both feature 2.5 GbE ports that enable multi-gigabit wireless throughput offered in Wave 2 wireless technology. The firewall scans all wireless traffic coming into and going out of the network using deep packet inspection technology and then removes harmful threats such as malware and intrusions, even over encrypted connections. Additional security and control capabilities such as content filtering, application control and intelligence and Capture Advanced Threat Protection can be run on the wireless network to provide added layers of protection.
3 Capture Cloud Platform SonicWall's Capture Cloud Platform delivers cloud-based threat prevention and network management plus reporting and analytics for organizations of any size. The platform consolidates threat intelligence gathered from multiple sources including our award-winning multi-engine network sandboxing service, Capture Advanced Threat Protection, as well as more than 1 million SonicWall sensors located around the globe. If data coming into the network is found to contain previously-unseen malicious code, SonicWall’s dedicated, in-house Capture Labs threat research team develops signatures that are stored in the Capture Cloud Platform database and deployed to customer firewalls for up-to-date protection. New updates take effect immediately without reboots or interruptions. The signatures resident on the appliance protect against wide classes of attacks, covering tens of thousands of individual threats. In addition to the countermeasures on the appliance, NSafirewalls also have continuous access to the Capture Cloud Platform database which extends the onboard signature intelligence with tens of millions of signatures. In addition to providing threat prevention, the Capture Cloud Platform offers single pane of glass management and administrators can easily create both real-time and historical reports on network activity. Advanced threat protection At the center of SonicWall’s automated, real-time breach prevention are two advanced malware detection technologies; Capture Advanced Threat Protection™ (Capture ATP) and Capture Security appliance™ (CSa). Capture ATP is a cloud-based multi- engine sandbox platform, which includes Real-Time Deep Memory Inspection™ (RTDMI), virtualized sandboxing, full system emulation and hypervisor level analysis technology. CSais an on-premises device that features RTDMI, which utilizes memory-based static and dynamic techniques for fast and accurate verdicts. Both solutions extend advanced threat protection to detect and prevent zero-day threats in a variety of SonicWall solutions such as next-generation firewalls. Suspicious files are sent to either solution where they are analyzed using deep learning algorithms with the option to hold them at the gateway until a verdict is determined. In the case of Capture ATP, when files are identified as malicious, they are blocked, and a hash is immediately created within the Capture ATP database for all customers to leverage to block follow-on attacks. These signatures are eventually sent to firewalls to create static defenses. Results generated by CSaare not shared outside your organization for privacy and compliance reasons. These services analyze a broad range of operating systems and file types, including executable programs, DLL, PDFs, MS Office documents, archives, JAR and APK. For complete endpoint protection, the SonicWall Capture Client combines next- generation antivirus technology with SonicWall's cloud-based multi-engine sandbox with optional integration with SonicWall firewalls.

4 Reassembly-Free Deep Packet Inspection engine The SonicWall Reassembly-Free Deep Packet Inspection (RFDPI) is a single- pass, low latency inspection system that performs stream-based, bi-directional traffic analysis at high speed without proxying or buffering to effectively uncover intrusion attempts and malware downloads while identifying application traffic regardless of port and protocol. This proprietary engine relies on streaming traffic payload inspection to detect threats at Layers 3-7, and takes network streams through extensive and repeated normalization and decryption in order to neutralize advanced evasion techniques that seek to confuse detection engines and sneak malicious code into the network. Once a packet undergoes the necessary pre-processing, including TLS/SSL decryption, it is analyzed against a single, proprietary memory representation of three signature databases: intrusion attacks, malware and applications. The connection state is then advanced to represent the position of the stream relative to these databases until it encounters a state of attack, or other “match” event, at which point a pre-set action is taken. In most cases, the connection is terminated and proper logging and notification events are created. However, the engine can also be configured for inspection only or, in case of application detection, to provide Layer 7 bandwidth management services for the remainder of the application stream as soon as the application is identified.
