Using the Email Security Service

 

Setting up your account

Default settings

As soon as your email security service is activated, default functionality and features are configured.

„Two users appear on the Users tab:

„Your administrator login address.

„A default user (whose name begins with pdefault), which you should ignore.

7

Do not delete the pdefault entry.

„Users in the activation domain automatically receive virus protection and basic attack blocking. However, your users will not receive spam filtering protection until they are added to the email security service.

„Registered users receive a daily Quarantine Summary email, which lists recent spam detections. Users can review the list and optionally forward any false positives to their Inbox (see Managing quarantined email on page 142).

„The activation domain is entered on the Domains page (on the Administration tab), and your email server is entered under Delivery Manager (on the Servers tab).

„Users can contact you for assistance via a support address, which initially is your administrator login address.

„Automatic disaster recovery is enabled via spooling: Should your email server stop functioning, messages are temporarily saved to the SonicWALL server, then automatically delivered when your server begins functioning again.

Recommended first steps

We recommend you follow these steps to configure your service for enhanced security, quick response to problems, and disaster recovery.

1Add your other domains.

If users in multiple domains need email protection, add those domains to your email security service. (You don’t need to add subdomains, such as corp.yourdomain.com or sales.yourdomain.com. Instead, set up subdomain stripping for the primary domain.)

SmartCreate, which automatically adds users accounts, works only for domains that have been added to the email protection service.

2Add partners, associates, and other friendly addresses to the Approved Senders list. This helps prevent false positives.

This release brings a suite of advanced features, cutting-edge technologies, and characteristics tailored to enhance system performance and resilience against cyber threats.

One of the highlight features of SonicWALL 4.5 is its Integrated Intrusion Prevention System (IPS). This system provides real-time threat detection and response by monitoring network traffic for potential vulnerabilities and malicious activities. With continuously updated signature-based detection, it ensures that organizations are protected against the latest exploits and attack vectors.

Another key component is the Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) capabilities, which combine traditional firewall functions with advanced features such as application awareness, user identity control, and content filtering. The NGFW allows organizations to enforce detailed policies based on user roles, thereby enhancing the security posture while maintaining user productivity.

SonicWALL 4.5 also incorporates advanced malware protection through its Capture Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) service. This multi-engine sandboxing technology analyzes suspicious files and URLs in a secure environment, providing organizations with in-depth insights into potential threats before they reach the network.

Furthermore, the solution includes enhancements to Secure Mobile Access, enabling secure remote connections while ensuring that sensitive data remains protected. With features like SSL VPN, SonicWALL 4.5 allows users to securely access private networks from anywhere while maintaining compliance with data protection regulations.

In terms of management, SonicWALL 4.5 introduces an intuitive interface for centralized management, enabling IT administrators to configure and monitor multiple devices effortlessly. The reporting and logging capabilities are enhanced, providing detailed insights into network activity, which is crucial for compliance and forensic analysis.

SonicWALL 4.5 also prioritizes user experience and performance with its optimized hardware, ensuring faster processing speeds and reduced latency. Features like high availability and load balancing further enhance system reliability.

In summary, SonicWALL 4.5 stands out with its integrated IPS, NGFW capabilities, advanced malware protection through Capture ATP, secure mobile access, intuitive management interface, and optimized performance. This comprehensive suite of features positions SonicWALL 4.5 as a formidable player in the realm of network security, making it an appealing choice for organizations seeking robust protection against an ever-evolving threat landscape.
