For maximum protection, configure your policies to check for an outbreak DAT file every hour (see Enable optional protection on page 97). This feature is enabled by default.

Update computers where no user is logged on

In most scenarios, Enforced Client supports terminal servers and the Windows fast user switching feature. When an update occurs, one session is designated as the primary update session. A pseudo user is defined, which enables automatic updates to occur on computers where no user is logged on.

For certain configurations, automatic updates cannot occur. Enforced Client cannot create the pseudo user when:

„The computer is a domain controller.

„Local security policies, including password restrictions, prevent the user’s creation.

When the pseudo user cannot be created, automatic updates do not occur. The pseudo user also cannot update if the computer is behind an authenticating proxy server.

For these situations, you can disable the Update client computers where users are not logged in policy setting on the SecurityCenter’s Advanced Settings tab (see Set advanced virus protection options on page 97). This prevents automatic update attempts from being reported as errors.

To disable updates for non-logged-on users:

1On the Groups + Policies page, click Add Policy (or click Edit to modify an existing policy).

2Click the Advanced Settings tab.

3Deselect Update client computers where users are not logged in, then click Save.

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.

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.
