Clean VPN

SonicWALL® has strategically positioned itself as an industry leader in pioneering clean VPN technology solutions for organizations of all sizes by enabling the managed integration of its award-winning Secure Remote Access, Network Security Appliance and Global Management System product lines. The SonicWALL Clean VPN™ solution unites next-generation SSL VPN and UTM technologies to enforce granular application-layer access policies while comprehensively inspecting all traffic at the gateway, all the while correlating event information to streamline and enhance security efficiencies.

A SonicWALL Clean VPN scenario

SonicWALL Secure Remote Access solutions feature the best-selling SSL VPN product line in the world, including the best-of-breed SonicWALL Aventail® E-Class SSL VPN. Aventail End Point Control™ interrogates every endpoint device to check for specific criteria or attributes needed to adhere to security policy, such as running applications, domain membership, certificates, files, and common anti-virus, antispyware and personal firewall applications.

To add a layer of UTM protection to the SonicWALL Clean VPN solution, a SonicWALL Network Security Appliance (NSA) or E-Class NSA component could be deployed in conjunction with the SSL VPN component. SonicWALL’s multi-core NSA architecture and patented Reassembly-Free scanning technology delivers ultra-high-speed Deep Packet Inspection, Intrusion Prevention, Gateway Anti-Virus, Gateway Anti-Spyware, Content Filtering and Application Firewall capabilities. The SonicWALL NSA component ensures that all traffic is scanned in real time and decontaminated before traversing the Clean VPN.

Finally, the SonicWALL Global Management System (GMS) component allows administrators to configure and manage their entire Clean VPN implementation from a single management interface. SonicWALL GMS delivers a flexible, powerful and resilient platform to centrally manage and rapidly deploy SonicWALL appliances and security configurations. In addition, it provides centralized real-time monitoring, and delivers comprehensive policy and compliance reports for even the most stringent auditing and regulatory compliance requirements.

The integration of SonicWALL SSL VPN/Secure Remote Access, SonicWALL Network Security Appliance, and SonicWALL Global Management System solutions offer organizations a single solution for defense-in-depth security. A SonicWALL Clean VPN can detect the identity of users and security state of the endpoint device, protect against malware and unauthorized access based on granular policy before authorizing access, and connect authorized users easily to mission-critical network resources. Only SonicWALL is capable of delivering a truly viable Clean VPN, because only SonicWALL can offer granular endpoint control, a unified policy model allowing dynamic access policies, and the revolutionary ultra-high performance security of Reassembly-Free Deep Packet Inspection over a multi-core processing platform.
