AGSS versus CGSS

The difference between SonicWall AGSS (Advanced Gateway Security Suite) and CGSS (Comprehensive Gateway Security Suite).

When buying a bundled product which includes the firewall hardware you get the following subscriptions:

TotalSecure = CGSS
TotalSecure - Advanced Edition = AGSS

Secure Upgrade Plus = CGSS
Secure Upgrade Plus - Advanced Edition = AGSS

AGSS = CGSS + CATP (Capture Advanced Threat Protection)

In summary, the difference between the two bundled products is the Capture Advanced Threat Protection service which can discover and stop zero-day and other unknown attacks.
