SonicWall Gateway Anti-Virus, Anti-Spyware, and Intrusion Prevention Service provides comprehensive protection against malicious spyware, worms, Trojans, and other network-based threats. It blocks spyware installation at the gateway, disrupts unauthorized data transmissions, and prevents application-layer attacks through advanced intrusion prevention scanning of packet payloads.
Featuring integrated Deep Packet Inspection technology, the high-performance engine uses parallel processing to scan traffic up to the application layer, enhancing web, email, and application attack prevention while minimizing firewall performance impact. Its per-packet scanning capability allows handling of unlimited file sizes and hundreds of thousands of concurrent downloads, delivering unmatched scalability and throughput.
The service also includes application control, enabling administrators to monitor and restrict instant messaging and peer-to-peer file sharing, reducing security risks, conserving bandwidth, and improving productivity. With simplified deployment and management, global policies can be applied across security zones, and attacks can be prioritized for streamlined, centralized administration—ensuring efficient, enterprise-grade network protection.
