4

Enable outbreak response

Enable buffer overflow protection

Enable script scanning

Scan email (before delivering to the Outlook Inbox)

Scan all file types during on-access scans

Scan within archives during on-access scans (e.g., .zip,

.rar, .tat, .tgz)

Scan within archives during on-demand scans (e.g.,

.zip, .rar, .tat, .tgz)

Check for an outbreak DAT file every hour.

Detect code starting to run from data in reserved memory and prevent that code from running. This feature protects against buffer overflow in more than 30 most commonly used Windows-based programs. SonicWALL updates this list as it adds buffer overflow protection for additional programs.

Important: Buffer overflow protection does not stop data from being written. Do not rely on the exploited application remaining stable after being compromised, even if buffer overflow protection stops the corrupted code from running.

Detect harmful code embedded in web pages that could cause unauthorized programs to run on client computers.

Detect viruses and harmful code in email messages before they are placed in the user’s Inbox.

Inspect all types of files, instead of only default types, when they are downloaded, opened, or run. (Default file types are defined in the DAT files.)

Detect viruses and harmful code in compressed archive files (such as

.ZIP files) during on-demand scheduled or Scan Now scans.

Detect viruses and harmful code in compressed archive files (such as

.ZIP files) as they are saved, uncompressed, or opened.

With the default settings, it is possible for an on-demand scan to detect threats in archived files that are not detected during an on-access scan. This is because on-access scans do not look at compressed archives by default. If this is a concern for your organization, you should enable this option.

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.
