SonicWall TZ series firewalls are the first desktop form factor next-generation firewalls (NGFW) with 10 or 5 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. The series consist of a wide range of products to suit a variety of use cases.
Designed for small, mid-sized organizations and distributed enterprise with SD-Branch locations, the 7th & 8th generation TZ series delivers industry-validated security effectiveness with best-in-class price-performance. These NGFWs address the growing trends in web encryption, connected devices and high-speed mobility by delivering a solution that meets the need for automated, real-time breach detection and prevention.
Highly Scalable & Zero-Touch Deployment SonicWall's TZ series firewalls are highly scalable, with high port density of up to 10 ports. It features both in-built and an expandable storage of up to 256GB, that enables various features including logging, reporting, caching, firmware backup and more. An optional second power supply provides added redundancy in case of failure on select models.
Unlike previous generations, EVERY GEN 7 & 8 TZ series non-wireless model has the option of adding on a High Availability (i.e. Hardware Fail-Over) with a Stateful HA Upgrade License for seamless fail-over in those unexpected and rare times when the primary firewall crashes. Whether a home-office, small to medium sized business, or in whatever network scenario you install a TZ model, with the optional second power supply and an High Availability appliance in place, you can have the peace of mind that your network, your business, will stay connected. Deployment of TZ Series firewall is further simplified by Zero-Touch Deployment, with the ability to simultaneously roll out your devices across multiple locations with minimal IT support. Built on next-gen hardware, it integrates firewall security with switching and wireless capabilities while providing a single-pane-of-glass management for SonicWall Firewalls, SonicWall Switches and SonicWave Access Points. When you add in Capture Client, TZ Series Firewalls tightly integrate with it to provide seamless endpoint security. SonicOS 7.0 The
Gen 7 TZ Series runs on SonicOS 7.0, a new operating system also built
from the ground up, delivering a modern user interface, intuitive
workflows, and user-first design principles. SonicOS 7.0 provides
multiple features designed to facilitate enterprise-level workflows,
easy policy configuration, zero-touch deployment, and flexible
management — all of which allow enterprises to improve both their
security and operational efficiency.
In addition, SonicOS 7.0 provides a single-pane-of-glass interface to
manage both your firewall and access points associated with it.
With Network Access Control integrated within the SonicOS 7.0, SonicWall customers can intergrate withAruba ClearPass, giving them comprehensive and preciseprofiling, authentication, and authorization for systemsand devices trying to access their IT resources. SonicOSprovides a RESTful API that supports Aruba ClearPass asNAC to integrate with SonicWall NGFW. This architecture turns static security into contextual security to provide more flexible and advance security protection.
SonicOS 8.0
The core of Gen 8 TZ Series is the SonicOS architecture
which drives performance enhancements and consistency and reliability
in network security. It leverages SonicWall's patented, single-pass, low-latency, Reassembly-Free Deep Packet
Inspection® (RFDPI) and patented Real-Time Deep Memory Inspection™ (RTDMI)
technologies to deliver industry-validated high security effectiveness, SD-WAN,
real-time visualization, high-speed virtual private networking
(VPN) and other robust security features.
SonicOS 8 features advanced security, simplified policy management, and
critical networking and management capabilities for advanced enterprises
with next-gen SD-Branches and small to medium-sized businesses
(SMBs). The OS also enables Wi-Fi 6 support, DNS advanced
security, reputation-based content filtering, and Network
Access Control (NAC integration). With the ability for Zero Trust
Network Access (ZTNA) capabilities one can have the peace of mind that
user and device trust are repeatedly verified before granting access to
specific applications, regardless of location and endpoint type.
Securing the Network, Acquiring Peace of Mind Known
and unknown threats lurk about, searching for whose network, PCs, and
laptops to hack into to steal data and or to infect with malware,
ransomware, and other threats. Add in the aspect of human error, the
threat landscape expands even more. In today's world, threats from
without and within the perimeter of the network is simply a way of life
for the majority of organizations and any of us connecting to the
internet, whether at home, on the road, or in the office. The good news
is that SonicWall has a plethora of security services designed to help
protect you from the threat seeking to turn our world upside down.
These services, in tandem with their next-gen firewalls, help address the reality that over
90% of breaches stem from human error and attackers exploiting those
vulnerabilities created within 48 hours. Misconfigurations alone account
for
over 60% of security incidents.
A firewall that is managed can help organizations and their
remote workers avoid risks that could cost the organization an extreme
amount of time, money, lost income, and more.
SonicWall empowers
businesses to reduce risk, stay compliant, and scale securely with
smarter, co-managed cybersecurity - providing the peace of mind
customers need in today's threat landscape. They do this through various
security services that build on top of each other and work in unison to
help create a barrier against the threats.
