The SonicWall NSa 2650 is strongly positioned in the upper right quadrant of the NSS Labs SonicWall Security Value MapTM (SVM) for 2018.

The results of this public test mean that for six straight years, SonicWall has excelled in the industry's most comprehensive real-world testing of next-generation firewalls (NGFWs).

With the 2018 findings, NSS Labs verifies that SonicWall NGFWs:

• Demonstrated as one of the highest-rated and best-value NGFWs in the industry, with a Security Effectiveness score of 98.8% at a very low TCO of $4 per Protected Mbps

• Tested 100% effective in countering all advanced HTTP evasion, obfuscation and fragmentation techniques

• Earned 100% in stability and reliability testing

For further guidance on how to interpret the SonicWall SVM, please refer to the NSS Labs 2018 NGFW SVM Comparative Report.

What are the Key Takeaways from the Report?

1. 6th consecutive year a SonicWall NGFW has received the NSS Lab Rating ‘Recommended’

2. The NSa 2650:

a. achieved a Security Effectiveness score of 98.8%

b. tested 100% effective against all evasions

c. passed 100% of all stability & reliability tests

d. accomplished all of this with a TCO of $4/protected Mbps

3. In today’s challenging environment, where our customers are attacked thousands of times per day, it is imperative that a platform approach is adopted to deliver layers of security throughout the organization. This report confirms that SonicWall NGFWs are the product they can depend on to build out this layered defense strategy.

Next Generation Firewall Test Report

The new SonicWall Network Security Administrator (SNSA) course and certification exam is replacing the CSSA Certification with its Network Security Basic Administration (NSBA) course. For individuals who hold a current CSSA certification, SonicWall will continue to acknowledge this important certification for two years from the certification date. Students wishing to re-certify an expiring CSSA certification will, however, be required to complete the new SNSA course and certification. Learn More

FastVue Reporting for SonicWall

Since releasing Fastvue Reporter for SonicWall in 2016 and seeing it deployed in hundreds of organizations around the globe, we have become very familiar with the effects that various SonicWall configurations and SonicOS firmware versions have on the firewalls logging and reporting.

As a result, we've documented our main SonicWall configuration recommendations to get the best visibility into user web activity and how your network is operating.

On October 16, 2017 security researchers made public earlier findings in which they demonstrated fundamental design flaws in WPA2 that could theoretically lead to man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks using key reinstallation attacks (KRACKs). Exploiting the vulnerability could enable cyber criminals to steal confidential information such as email, credit card numbers, passwords and more.

The WPA2 design flaws are protocol vulnerabilities and are not implementation specific. Both wireless access points and wireless clients are susceptible. Details of the vulnerabilities are available on the researchers’ website at www.krackattacks.com.

Impact to SonicWall customers

SonicWall Capture Labs has evaluated these vulnerabilities and determined that our SonicPoint and SonicWave wireless access points, as well as our TZ and SOHO Wireless firewalls, are not vulnerable to the flaws in WPA2.

SonicWall is working on a solution to provide an additional layer of protection for SonicWall customers that will block these man-in-the-middle attacks even from vulnerable unpatched clients. This will be delivered in a future SonicOS update.
