On the My Account page, in the Group Administrators section, click Delete.

Setting up policies

Policies are made up of security settings for all of your protection services. These settings define how your services operate on client computers.

Why use policies?

Policies enable you to customize security settings for your entire organization or for different computers in your organization. Each policy is assigned to a group of computers. If you have created multiple groups, you can assign a unique policy to each group or allow them to share a single policy.

For example, you might place all laptops used by traveling sales representatives into a single group called Sales Team. You can then assign a policy with high security settings that will provide greater protection against threats in unsecure networks such as airports and hotels. Whenever you want to adjust those setting, simply change the policy. Your changes will be applied to all the computers in the Sales Team group automatically. There is no need to update each computer’s setting individually. See Customized policies on page 19 for an illustration.

How can I manage policies?

Click the Groups + Policies tab to display the groups in your organization and the policies assigned to them. If you have not created any groups or policies, only the Default group and the SonicWALL Default policy are displayed (see The SonicWALL Default policy). From this page, you can:

„Create or edit a policy

„Assign a policy to a group

„Restore default policy settings

„Delete a policy

Can users change their security settings?

The policy determines whether users can change their security settings.

4.5 specifications

SonicWALL 4.5 is a robust network security solution designed to address the evolving challenges in threat protection and data security. 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.
