One of the most successful promotions in company history, SonicWall’s ‘3 & Free’ incentive is now a permanent component of our Customer Loyalty program.

In an escalated cyber threat landscape, it’s more important than ever to ensure your organization’s networks, data and applications are protected against today’s most malicious cyberattacks, including the most recent Foreshadow processor exploits. In fact, in July 2018 alone, the average SonicWall customer faced:

• 2,164 malware attacks (28 percent increase from July 2017)
• 81 ransomware attacks (43 percent increase)
• 143 encrypted threats
• 13 phishing attacks each day
• 1,413 new malware variants discovered each day by SonicWall Capture Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) sandbox with Real-Time Deep Memory Inspection^TM

When you upgrade your SonicWall hardware you gain the latest in next-generation firewall (NGFW) technology and access to the SonicWall Capture Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) service. It’s a cloud-based, multi-engine sandbox that stops both known and unknown cyberattacks from critically impacting your business.

What is the SonicWall ‘3 & Free’ Program?

Once a limited-time promotion, the SonicWall ‘3 & Free’ is now a mainstay offering to loyal SonicWall customers. It’s an easy, cost-effective way for customers to upgrade to the very latest SonicWall next-generation firewall appliance for free.

Eligible customers may receive a complimentary NGFW appliance by purchasing a bundle that includes a three-year subscription of the SonicWall Advanced Gateway Security Suite from their authorized SonicWall SecureFirst partner.

This security suite includes everything you need to stay protected against today’s modern attacks, including ransomware, encrypted threats, zero-day attacks and processor-based exploits. It offers:

• Capture Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) sandbox
• Gateway Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware
• Intrusion Prevention Service
• Application Control
• Content Filtering Service
• 24×7 Support

SonicWall’s exclusive security subscription service also includes SonicWall Real-Time Deep Memory Inspection (RTDMI). A patent-pending technology, RTDMI™ enables Capture ATP to detect and block malware that does not exhibit any malicious behavior or hides weaponry via encryption. This protects your organization from zero-day attacks, malicious PDFs and Microsoft Office files, and even chip-based Spectre, Foreshadow and Meltdown exploits.

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.

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.

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 firewall’s 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.
