Global VPN Client Enterprise/Global Security Client

SonicWALL Global Security Client combines gateway enforcement, central management, configuration flexibility and software deployment to deliver comprehensive desktop security to mobile workers and corporate networks. Global Security Client protection includes the SonicWALL Distributed Security Client and the SonicWALL Global VPN Client Enterprise combined with centrally managed security policies via the SonicWALL Internet Security Appliance and SonicWALL’s industry-leading Distributed Enforcement Architecture (DEA). Global VPN Client Enterprise provides the same functionality as the Global VPN Client with the added feature of license sharing.

On the remote client desktop, the SonicWALL Global VPN Client Enterprise, Distributed Security Client and DEA Client provide client security and secure IPSec VPN access to the corporate network. The SonicWALL Distributed Security Client enforces firewall protection at the desktop from centrally managed security policies. The DEA Client monitors the desktop against the security policy, making a real-time decision to allow or deny network access through a SonicWALL Gateway.
