The SonicWall NSv is a software-based next-generation firewall (NGFW) delivered as a virtual machine (VM) or cloud instance. All models run on VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, KVM, AWS, and Azure; Gen 8 adds Proxmox support.

Every model delivers patented RTDMI™, RFDPI, and Capture ATP threat prevention — the same engines as SonicWall hardware NGFWs — with the flexibility and economics of a virtual form factor. An embedded Cysurance cyber warranty is included with Gen 7 and Gen 8 security service subscriptions.

Gen 8 (NSv XS | S | M | L) - Remote Access, Better Security

The SonicWall Network Security virtual NSv XS/S/M/L Firewalls deliver enterprise-class security, streamlined management, complete visibility, and flexible deployment, while delivering superior performance for virtual workloads. Vulnerabilities within virtual environments yield serious security implications and challenges. But protecting all these security vectors requires consistently applying the right security policy to the right network control point, as some security failures can be attributed to ineffective policies or misconfigurations.
