Complete gateway protection with no downtime requirements. The most robust security and content protection available protects against
denial-of-service and other vexing attacks, keeping your network up and running around the clock. ISPs face a number of threats, which not only affect the
ISP but also all of their customers. SonicWALL's strong gateway protection keeps those threats out of the ISP network and from spreading within the network.
Unified Threat Management addresses multiple threat access points and scans all network layers, blocking dangerous attacks, and making sure that ISP customers
enjoy access around the clock without interruption.
Security at the ISP level
There will always be a need for client-side security protection, but security at the ISP level is the next Internet trend. Too few ISPs currently offer
clients strong anti-virus security, although interest is increasing, and more security providers are starting to target ISPs wishing to make their networks
safer. Consumers, home Internet users and businesses alike want security, and one of the first places they look is to their ISP. Unfortunately, ISP’s
currently provides little in this area, although it doesn’t have to be so.
SonicWALL Email Security
One recent positive activity is that some ISPs are offering anti-spam technology to control spam at the source, before it even reaches the user’s
mailbox. Alternately, some ISPs deliver mail, but pre-analyze it and mark it appropriately, so it can be automatically sorted into a main mailbox or a
mailbox for suspected SPAM. SonicWALL’s anti-SPAM technology is well-suited to use at the ISP level.
SonicWALL Email Security offers high performance for both inbound and outbound e-mail protection. It can be used by organizations of any size, and
protects against SPAM, virus, and phishing attacks. The award-winning anti-SPAM engine ensures protection against SPAM-based attacks, as well as the
performance problems that result from SPAM. The system’s end-user SPAM management makes it easy to delegate SPAM management to end-users to reduce
the load on central IT management.
SonicWALL’s anti-SPAM engine takes SPAM management to the next level with an ISP-class anti-SPAM engine that incorporates multiple forms of
SPAM protection. SonicWALL identifies senders and evaluates their reputations, analyzes content, and applies a collaborative review to every e-mail.
These highly accurate methods take place simultaneously and quickly, so there is no delay in receipt of legitimate e-mail.
Individuals on the receiving end can personally manage their e-mail by setting parameters, marking e-mail that they desire to receive, and
setting lists of unauthorized and blacklisted senders.
Centralized Management
Additionally, SonicWALL’s Global Management System (GMS) is well suited for large, distributed enterprises such as ISPs. It can be used to
manage and control thousands of SonicWALL Internet security appliances cost-effectively, and to centralize security and network management.
