SonicWALL Solution adds Unified Threat Management to SSL VPN. SonicWALL, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNWL), a leading secure network infrastructure company, today announced Northwoods Community Church (Northwoods) a member of the Fellowship of Evangelical Churches serving a congregation of 3,900 churchgoers in Peoria, Illinois, has deployed a SonicWALL Clean VPN by combining a SonicWALL SSL-VPN 2000 secure remote access appliance with a SonicWALL E-Class NSA E5500 network security appliance. "We have users traveling and working remotely needing access to our servers and data," said Jason Lee, Northwoods' IT Director. "Even though they are trusted connections, we want to be sure we still have a line of protection at our perimeter. Providing clean and secure remote access to our networks offers a huge value to us." Northwoods' E5500 firewall scans both inbound and outbound SSL VPN traffic using Gateway Antivirus, Anti-Spyware and Intrusion Prevention services. As a nonprofit organization, Northwoods is especially sensitive to value. "We have limited resources, but our expectations are no different than a Fortune 500 company, and that's to utilize the best technology we can afford to help our team succeed," said Lee. "SonicWALL gives us security and performance that might be out of our budget's reach from a Cisco or Juniper." By selecting SonicWALL E-Class, Lee freed up budget for other initiatives. And using Unified Threat Management instead of separate services and servers from different vendors has lowered his costs, and eased budgeting and planning. Lee has also extended the SonicWALL approach to a Clean Wireless implementation. "We currently have 13 SonicPoints deployed to cover high-traffic areas of our campus," said Lee. "We apply Gateway Antivirus, Anti-Spyware and Intrusion Prevention services, as well as Content Filtering, to all inbound and outbound traffic on our wireless network." The SonicWALL E-Class Network Security Appliance (NSA) E5500 is a high-performance, multi-service network security platform engineered to be the workhorse of the enterprise network environment. Taking advantage of SonicWALL's Reassembly-free Deep Packet Inspection� engine and an 8-core processor technology providing parallel traffic processing, the NSA E5500 delivers exceptional deep packet inspection performance for the enterprise network environment. |
