Wireless is changing the
way businesses work. Adding wireless into an existing
network or building a wireless network from the ground
up increases mobility and productivity by maintaining
connections to e-mail, files and online applications
regardless of physical location. With these benefits,
however, comes risk. SonicWALL provides a solution that
enables your organization to take advantage of the
freedom of wireless connectivity without compromising
network security.
The TZ 170 Wireless,
part of SonicWALL’s TZ 170 series, is a
high-performance, multi-layer network security platform
that delivers enterprise-class wireless and wired
security to small networks. The TZ 170 Wireless
integrates secure 802.11b/g wireless, deep packet
inspection firewall and IPSec VPN technologies in a
cost-effective, easy-to-use solution. Advanced features
such as enforced VPN encryption on the wireless LAN and
wireless intrusion detection and prevention services
deliver impenetrable wireless security. Utilizing the
Wireless Guest Services feature, network administrators
can create multiple zones of access – for wired and
wireless workers as well as guest wireless users -
offering an unprecedented level of control without
compromising network security.
Key Features &
Benefits
SonicOS Standard,
which ships on every SonicWALL TZ 170 Wireless,
provides:
Integrated
Firewall, VPN and Wireless Access Point. The TZ 170
Wireless integrates deep packet inspection firewall,
IPSec VPN and 802.11b/g wireless access technologies in
one easy-to-use solution, reducing the time and cost
burdens associated with supporting multiple solutions.
Industry-leading
Intrusion Prevention. The TZ 170 integrates
SonicWALL’s Intrusion Prevention technology and
Intrusion Prevention Service which features a
dynamically updated database of over 1,800 attack and
vulnerability signatures written to protect networks
against known buffer overflow vulnerabilities in
software, as well as various worms, Trojans, backdoor
exploits and the use of peer-to-peer and instant
messaging applications.
Wireless Intrusion
Detection Services. The TZ 170 Wireless protects
wireless networks by detecting and preventing three
widespread threats: rogue access points, disassociation
attacks and association flood attacks.
Wireless Guest
Services. The TZ 170 Wireless allows network
administrators to create user accounts for occasional
guest users such as consultants and contractors that
permit wireless connections to the Internet without
providing access to the corporate network.
Comprehensive
Central Management Support. Every SonicWALL security
appliance can be managed using SonicWALL's award-winning
Global Management System, which provides network
administrators with the tools for simplified
configuration, enforcement and management of global
security policies, VPN, and services, all from a central
location.
SonicOS Enhanced,
an optional software upgrade for the SonicWALL TZ 170
Wireless, adds:
Configurable
Optional Port. Upgrading to SonicOS Enhanced
activates an Optional Port on the TZ 170 Wireless that
can be configured either as an additional LAN, WAN, DMZ
or WLAN offering greater network configuration
flexibility as well as internal security.
WAN ISP Failover
and Load Balancing. The TZ 170 Wireless offers the
ability to configure the optional port as a secondary
WAN port, delivering highly reliable network
connectivity and robust performance. This secondary WAN
port can be used in “active-active” load sharing or
fail-over configuration providing a highly efficient
method for maximizing total network bandwidth.
Object-based
Management. The TZ 170 Wireless provides the ability
to define an object such as a user group, network,
service or interface. When security policies change, the
administrator can modify the pre-defined object and
propagate the changes instantly without redefining
rules. This enables businesses to implement and manage
security policies easily and consistently.
Policy-based NAT.
In addition to standard NAT (many-to-one) functionality,
the TZ 170 Wireless exposes control of NAT policies to
administrators for one-to-one NAT, many-to-many NAT,
one-to-many NAT, inbound Port Address Translation (PAT),
flexible NAT (for overlapping IP addresses), as well as
NAT policies on selective source/destination/source
translations. The result is greater control and
flexibility to support and manage various NAT
requirements.
