Community Church receive SonicWall’s Clean VPN to Secure its Appliances

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

SonicWALL Internet security , a major provider of network security, will be providing SonicWall Clean VPN to Northwoods Community Church in Peoria, Illinois for its infrastracture security. The company will combine SonicWall’s SSL-VPN 2000 secure remote access appliance with a SonicWall E-Class NSA E5500 network security appliance.

Northwood’s IT Director Jason Lee explained the need for secure network as the church has several staff who frequenty travel and need constant access to data from their servers. “Knowing that our network is safe and secure and invulnerable from outside attacks, will enable us to sleep soundly at night. Providing clean and secure remote access to our networks offers a huge value to us.”

Northwoods’ E5500 firewall scans both inbound and outbound SSL VPN traffic using Gateway Antivirus, Anti-Spyware and Intrusion Prevention services.

As a nonprofit organization, Northwoods is especially sensitive to value.

Lee said that despite the organization’s little amount of resources, it wants to have the most advanced technology, yet affordable that is available in the market to ensure the growth of the organization. “SonicWALL gives us security and performance that might be out of our budget’s reach from a Cisco or Juniper.”

By selecting SonicWALL Internet security’s E-Class, Lee freed up budget for other initiatives. And using Unified Threat Management instead of separate services and servers from different vendors has lowered his costs, and eased budgeting and planning.

Lee said they were satisifed with SonicWall’s services that they are planning of expanding the implementation of the firm’s Clean Wireless system.

“We currently have 13 SonicPoints deployed to cover high-traffic areas of our campus,” said Lee. “We apply Gateway Antivirus, Anti-Spyware and Intrusion Prevention services, as well as Content Filtering, to all inbound and outbound traffic on our wireless network.”

The SonicWALL Internet security E-Class Network Security Appliance (NSA) E5500 is a high-performance, multi-service network security platform engineered to be the workhorse of the enterprise network environment.

Protect your computer against Internet threats with SonicWall’s Unified Threat Management Firewall

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

Our firm~{The firm}~SonicWall~Sonic}~The company~{The firm}~SonicWall~Sonic}., a leading secure network infrastructure company, has announced the development of a new application that would provide protection against SSL Certificate Null Byte Poisoning vulnerability. Users of the SonicWall Internet security’s  Unified Threat Management Firewall technology, which protects against viruses, Trojans, worms and other threats and vulnerabilities, automatically receive updated signatures designed to repel security threats.

Various browser and non-browser based SSL implementations will be vulnerable for hijacking as your computer is incapable of defending itself from attacks. Once an attacker successfully obtains a specially crafted null byte stuffed certificate designed to imitate the origin content server, privacy of the data can be compromised since there will be no distinguishable notification to the user that the secure connection has been intercepted by an unknown 3rd party.

Your computer is also vulnerable to attacks from other viruses, including trohans and malwares as the attacker can exploit your computer’s weakness aside from compromised SSL session.

The BlackHat security first publicized the problem during the July 29-30, 2009 security conference held in Las Vegas. On July 31, 2009, users of SonicWALL internet security’s Unified Threat Management technology received updated signatures designed to protect against this threat. SonicWALL has issued the following IPS signature

SonicWALL has developed unique technologies to deliver zero day gateway anti-virus, anti-spyware and intrusion prevention signatures to its subscribers on a continual basis, allowing them to defend against new and existing Internet attacks and exploits such as phishing, viruses, DHA or DoS attacks and more. We are happy to report that computers with installed SonicWAll’s gateway threat prevention services have not been attacked by exploiting this weakness.

With over one million award-winning appliances shipped through its global network of ten thousand channel partners, SonicWALL Internet security provides end-to-end solutions including Firewalls, SSL VPN’s, Email Security and Continuoinous Data Protection that collectively ensure robust, secure network protection.
