SonicWALL Content Security Manager 2100 CF

Real-Time Gateway Anti-Virus, Anti-Spyware and Content Filtering Delivers Maximum Network Protection

The SonicWALL Content Security Manager 2100 Content Filter (CSM 2100 CF) protects your network from a wide range of Internet threats, such as viruses, worms, Trojans, spyware, e-mail-based fraud attempts and illicit or unproductive Web content. Deploy the device on your network and enjoy the benefits of the most sophisticated protection available today. All incoming data is scanned in real-time at the gateway to block threats before they can do any damage. The CSM 2100 CF receives up-to-the-minute signatures about the latest Internet security risks via a continuous connection to SonicWALL’s dynamically updated signature database, so even the newest threats can't get through.

Seamless Integration Behind Virtually any Firewall

The CSM 2100 CF is compatible with virtually any firewall and is easy to install and maintain. Simply deploy the unit between your existing hardware firewall and network router and finish the setup process via an easy-to-use Web-based configuration wizard. The system is kept up-to-date via automatic updates from SonicWALL’s dynamically updated signature database. The CSM 2100 CF will start inspecting all incoming and outgoing network traffic almost immediately following installation.

Uninterrupted Network Productivity with High Availability

When the CSM 2100 CF is coupled with a secondary CSM 2100 CF appliance, your network remains protected even if the primary unit fails. In the unlikely event of such a failure, the backup unit automatically comes online and provides uninterrupted protection and connectivity. The SonicWALL CSM 2100 CF helps to ensure that there will never be a time when your network is left unprotected.

Instant Messaging, Peer-to-Peer and Multimedia Controls

The CSM 2100 CF can be configured using detailed policy controls to curb productivity-draining employee activities, such as instant messaging and Internet gaming. The controls can also prevent employees from accessing Web sites and downloading content that consumes a lot of bandwidth or that exposes your company to legal liabilities.
