Security Services Settings

The Security Services Settings includes these settings:

  • Security Services Setting

    There are two choices of security levels:

    • Maximum Security (Recommended) — This setting results in the inspection of all traffic, regardless of the threat level.
    • Performance Optimized — This setting restricts inspection to traffic having a high or medium threat level. It speeds up throughput at the expense of the highest level of security

    SonicOS DPI clustering allows additional performance in the maximum security setting.

  • Reduce Anti-Virus traffic for ISDN connections — With this setting enabled, SonicWall Anti-Virus checks for updates only once a day (every 24 hours), thereby reducing the frequency of outbound traffic for users who do not have an “always on” Internet connection.
  • Drop all packets while IPS, GAV and Anti-Spyware database is reloading — Select this option to instruct the SonicWall network security appliance to drop all packets whenever the IPS, GAV, and Anti-Spyware database is updating.
  • HTTP Clientless Notification Timeout for Gateway AntiVirus and Ant-Spyware — HTTP Clientless Notification notifies users when an incoming threat from an HTTP server is detected. Set the timeout duration, in seconds, after which the SonicWall network security appliance notifies users when Gateway Anti-Virus or Anti-Spyware detects an incoming threat from an HTTP server. The default timeout is one day (86400 seconds), the minimum time is 10 seconds, and the maximum time is 2147483647 seconds. This defines the length of time the appliance waits for a confirmation notification from a client system.
