Installing Enforced Client

Push installation

Push means deploying remotely to one or more computers in a network. This method uses the Push Install utility to deploy the client software directly from your service provider’s website to client computers on your network. Push installation does not require third-party deployment software or interaction with users.

To perform a push installation:

„Designate an administrative computer, where you will download the Push Install utility and initiate the push.

„Select the target computers, which are client computers on your network that will receive the software.

The Push Install utility is essentially an ActiveX control that runs on an administrative computer. It installs client software on all target computers that are online when the push takes place. Use push installation to install client software on new network computers or to install additional protection services on computers with existing client software.

The Push Install utility allows you to specify one or more network computers with an Internet connection as relay servers. You must do so in a separate push operation, because you cannot push to relay servers and non-relay servers at the same time. See Enabling relay servers on page 46 for more information.

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.
