Use cases
SonicWall protects distributed organisations — from schools and government to hybrid cloud, remote workforces, and MSP-managed estates.
Education
Schools are growing increasingly dependent on cloud-based apps while the number of mobile devices explode. Meanwhile compliance and security requirements are more stringent than ever. SonicWall is helping schools close their security and compliance gaps and enable the new digitally driven approach to education. From the central office to individual schools and campuses, SonicWall firewalls deliver advanced protection and functions like content filtering and powering PoE devices, all within increasingly tight budgets.
State and local government
State and local governments are increasingly under attack by increasingly sophisticated threat actors while also required to meet stringent compliance requirements. With highly distributed organizations, maintaining centralized management and effective threat protection is a sizable challenge. A SonicWall solution — from government data centers and clouds to branch offices — blocks threats, ensures compliance, and allows you to focus on your constituents and your mission.
SOHO, micro-SMB, and branch office (NSv)
NSv XS provides enterprise-grade threat prevention in a single-core footprint optimized for small and simple deployments. Subscription-based licensing eliminates hardware refresh cycles and delivers centralized management from day one.
Hybrid and multi-cloud firewalling
Secure workloads consistently across AWS, Azure, and private hypervisors from a single management plane. Unified Policy enforces consistent L3–L7 rules regardless of where workloads run or how traffic flows.
Secure remote and hybrid workforce access
SSL VPN, IPsec VPN, and Cloud Secure Edge Connector integration provide secure access for remote employees and contractors — with ZTNA-grade continuous trust verification for private application access.
Virtual DMZ and east-west inspection
Gain complete visibility into intra-host communication between virtual machines. Implement security zoning and microsegmentation to isolate critical workloads and enforce application policies by VM location.
Compliance in regulated environments
PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and CMMC requirements demand encrypted traffic visibility and audit-ready logging. DPI-SSL, IPS, and NSM compliance reporting deliver the evidence auditors require — for SOHO through enterprise.
MSP and MSSP managed firewall services
NSM's multi-tenant console, zero-touch provisioning, and template-based bulk configuration enable MSPs to onboard and manage large firewall estates efficiently. MPSS licensing adds SonicSentry NOC support without adding headcount.
