The TZ500 delivers enterprise-grade security for growing small and mid-sized businesses, combining robust threat protection with high network productivity. It can be managed locally through SonicOS or centrally via SonicWall GMS, making it ideal for distributed offices.
Key security features include intrusion prevention, network-based anti-malware with cloud assist, content and URL filtering, anti-spam, and application control via the Advanced Gateway Security Suite (AGSS). The firewall’s patented Reassembly-Free Deep Packet Inspection (RFDPI) inspects traffic across all ports without introducing latency, maintaining high performance.
The TZ500 also leverages a cloud-based multi-engine sandbox to detect and block unknown and zero-day threats across a broad range of file types, programs, and code. Native SSL VPN provides secure mobile access for multiple device platforms, supported by the SonicWall Mobile Connect app.
Multiple zones of controlled access ensure secure management of wired and wireless users, while high-speed 802.11ac wireless safeguards traffic integrity. SonicOS’s intuitive interface allows IT teams to easily enforce bandwidth priorities, block unproductive applications, and manage security efficiently, delivering sophisticated protection without compromising usability.
