Improving the Traditional Firewall With Gateway Security Services
Gateway Security Services
Traditional firewalls are no longer good enough. Cybercriminals target small and medium-sized businesses (SMB) and traditional firewalls lack control and visibility. They provide only a general barrier, which makes the firewall environment complicated and less effective when faced with an advanced cybersecurity threat.
As businesses rely more and more on the internet to reach customers and run efficiently, they will be increasingly vulnerable to cyber attacks, as also discussed in our managed SIEM blog.. SonicWall Advanced Gateway Security Suite (AGSS) provides effective and cost-effective gateway security services, giving small businesses the tools to fight online attacks and strengthen their cybersecurity infrastructure.
AGSS integrates all network security services into an affordable and convenient package. It is available in physical and virtual firewalls, including NSa, NSsp, NSv, and TZ Series. It helps in keeping networks safe from botnets, intrusions, Trojans, spyware, viruses, worms, zero-day attacks, and other malicious attacks.
These gateway security services include having suspicious files examined at the gateway using a cloud-based multilayered sandbox. This keeps the network safe from unknown threats. When new threats are identified, SonicWall updates the gateway security signatures, helping to protect against the threats.
Round-the-clock protection is provided from internal and external application vulnerabilities and attacks. The security tools control internal access to illegal, inappropriate, and unproductive web content. The tools also enforce internet use policies.
Features and Benefits
- AGSS provides a complete network security solution. It integrates everything that small businesses will need to protect themselves from threats.
- The capture advanced threat protection (ATP) feature has revolutionized advanced threat detection and sandboxing. The cloud-based gateway security solution stops attacks at the gateway.
- The real-time deep memory inspection (RTDMI) technology detects and blocks malware. This is done even if the malware hides its weapons using encryption or doesn’t display any malicious behavior. The technology forces the malware to reveal its identity so that it is detected and blocked.
- These gateway security services are ICSA certified. The anti-spyware and anti-virus protection combine a cloud database of malware signatures with network-based anti-malware. This offers deep protection against advanced security threats.
- The advanced IPS technology scans all network traffic for anomalous patterns and malicious malware. This increases the performance and reliability of the network.
- The real-time anti-virus gateway engine scans for virus, trojans, worms, and other threats in real time.
- The application intelligence and control provide policy enforcement and application classification. This helps administrators manage and control business and non-business-related applications.
- The signature database is updated dynamically. This provides continuous threat protection.
A good cybersecurity solution includes:
- Next-generation firewalls (with SSL inspection)
- Multi-engine cloud sandbox (with deep memory inspection)
- Email security
- End-point protection
- Cloud-based analytics, management, and reporting
- Secure mobile access
- Wireless network security
