The NGFW was showed to be blocking 97.9 percent of overall attacks and tested 100 % effective in countering advanced evasion, obfuscation and fragmentation techniques
Dell SonicWALL SuperMassive E10800 next-generation firewall (NGFW), running SonicOS 6.0 and integrated Intrusion Prevention Service, again has earned the coveted Recommended rating in the NSS Labs 2014 Next-Generation Firewall Security Value Map.
The Dell SonicWALL SuperMassive E10000 Next-Generation Firewall Series delivers effective firewall, intrusion prevention and deep security scaled to the largest networks-at multi-gigabit speeds, without the complexity of having to manage separate appliances, GUIs and deployments. It utilises Dell’s patented Reassembly-Free Deep Packet Inspection engine to detect and prevent the advanced evasion techniques used to conceal traditional intrusion attacks at all layers of the network stack.
According to NSS Labs Report, “The Dell SonicWALL SuperMassive E10800 proved effective against all evasion techniques tested. During testing, the SuperMassive blocked 96.4 percent of attacks against server applications, 99.1 percent of attacks against client applications, and 97.9 percent overall. The Dell SonicWALL SuperMassive E10800 is rated by NSS at 16.4 Gbps, which is higher than the vendor-claimed performance (Dell rates this device at 12 Gbps).”
Patrick Sweeney, executive director, product management for Dell Security Products said that the Dell SonicWALL SuperMassive E10800 next-generation firewall represents years of research and development, with the goal of providing one of the most scalable, highly performing enterprise network security solutions in the industry that effectively balances network protection, intrusion prevention and network performance. “We are tremendously honored that it has received the highly coveted ‘Recommended’ rating from NSS Labs for three years running. We see this as incredible validation for the unique value we bring to customers in keeping their organisations updated and secure”, he added.
