Automated & Enforced Threat Protection!
Overview
Dell SonicWALL firewalls provide an innovative multi-layered anti-malware strategy consisting of its proprietary Reassembly-Free Deep Packet Inspection® anti-malware solution at the gateway and enforced anti-virus solution at the endpoints. When a non-compliant end-point within the network tries to connect to the Internet, the firewall will direct the user to a web page to install the latest Dell SonicWALL Enforced Client Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware software. The solution automatically delivers updated security definitions to the endpoint as soon as they become available to protect against today’s rapidly-evolving threats. Because enforcement is automatic, administration time and costs are minimized.
Multi-Layered Approach
A firewall’s gateway anti-virus solution provides the first layer of defense at the perimeter, stopping most attacks before they enter the network. But viruses can still enter the network through multiple entry points, including laptops, thumb drives or other unprotected systems. Dell SonicWALL’s layered approach to anti-virus and anti-spyware protection starts at the gateway and extends to both client and server. Malware threats provide an additional challenge, since they often originate inside the network, bypassing perimeter protection entirely. For example, an employee or contractor may plug into the network with an infected notebook running out-of-date anti-virus software. With the last line of defense—Endpoint Security delivered through the Dell SonicWALL Enforced Client Anti-Virus & Anti-Spyware engine—this final vulnerability is eliminated.
Automated/Enforced Installation & Updates
When a non-compliant endpoint within the network tries to connect to the Internet, the firewall will redirect the user to a web page to install the latest Dell SonicWALL Enforced Client Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware software. Dell SonicWALL Enforced Client Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware software is easily deployed, automatically enforced and updated network-wide on Windows® devices through a powerful but easy-to-use policy-driven engine. Because the software is client-based and maintained across the network, it protects against threats regardless of whether the endpoint is inside the corporate network or outside connected via VPN.
Integrated McAfee Anti-Virus Technology
With McAfee anti-virus technology, you can protect every endpoint against the most sophisticated virus threats, dangerous spyware and productivity-draining adware.
Dell SonicWALL Enforced Client Anti-Virus & Anti-Spyware McAfee
Working in conjunction with Dell SonicWALL firewalls, the Dell SonicWALL Enforced Client Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware service automatically enforces anti-virus and anti-spyware policies on every client, reducing administrative overhead. It combines client-based scanning and remediation capabilities with centralized management and reporting capabilities. See benefits.
Policy-Based Management & Reporting
Compliance with both internal policies and external regulations requires visibility and reporting. Dell SonicWALL Anti-Virus Policy Management and Reporting can be accessed through the web interface of the Dell SonicWALL firewall appliance. Centralized reporting provides information about the state of each user, historical data on past infection detections, and information on each computer’s operating system. The policy engine allows the IT administrator to centrally manage network wide endpoint deployments easily by allowing the creation and management of multiple policies and/or groups.
