SonicWall NSa 4800 Network Security Appliance
Enterprise-class NGFW with 20 Gbps throughput, 13 Gbps threat prevention, and superior TLS inspection for campus and distributed networks.

Features:

• High Performance and Flexible Network Connectivity - Deploy next generation firewalls that are designed for mid-size and distributed enterprises to deliver much needed multi-gigabit threat prevention performance while providing high port density including 10 GbE ports for flexible network connectivity.
• Blocks More Attacks with RTDMI™ - Real-Time Deep Memory Inspection (RTDMI™) proactively detects and blocks unknown malware via deep memory inspection in real time, a revolutionary approach to defend against zero-day and side-channel attacks and other unrecognized threats.
• Low Total Cost of Ownership - Make a SonicWall NSa firewall the start of enterprise savings. From reduced costs through zero-touch deployment to enabling SD-WAN and delivering threat block rates on par or better than competitors at a fraction of the cost, SonicWall NSa firewalls are security you can’t afford to be without.
• Simplified Centralized Management - Increase efficiencies in deploying and managing distributed firewalls via configuration administration enhancements and bulk deployment capabilities included in all licensing tiers.
• Advanced Reporting & Analytics - Increase insights via customizable reports, schedule report capability, and tenant-based analytics.
• Managed Protection Security Suite - Extend your team with SonicSentry NOC Team 24x7 for managed firewall services that include monitoring, firmware updates, vulnerability reporting, and an embedded warranty of up to $200K warranty.
• Secure SD-WAN Technology - Leave MPLS behind for a more agile, secure, and cost-effective network optimized for today’s broadband-driven, cloud-infused landscape. Eliminate costs on SD-WAN appliances and licenses by leveraging the built-in secure SD-WAN technology in NSa firewalls.
• Integrates with Wireless Access Points - Implement high-speed wireless security by combining a NSa series next-generation firewall with a SonicWall SonicWave wireless access point. NSa series firewalls and SonicWave access points both feature 2.5/5 GbE ports that enable multi-gigabit wireless throughput offered in Wi-Fi 6 wireless technology.
• Built-in ZTNA Connector - Increase secure access to private applications behind the firewalls using a built-in connector to Cloud Secure Edge, enabling compliance with a Zero-Trust framework.

Deployments:

The Gen 8 NSa Series has two main deployment options for medium and distributed enterprises:

Internet Edge Deployment

In this standard deployment option, the Gen 8 NSa Series NGFW protects private networks from malicious traffic coming from the internet, allowing you to:

• Deploy a proven NGFW solution with highest performance in its class
• Gain visibility and inspect encrypted traffic, including TLS 1.3, to block evasive threats coming from the Internet — all without compromising performance
• Protect your enterprise with integrated security, including malware analysis, cloud app security, URL filtering and reputation services
• Save space and money with an integrated NGFW solution that includes advanced security and networking capabilities
• Reduce complexity and maximize efficiency using a central management system delivered through an intuitive single-paneof-glass user interface

Medium and Distributed Enterprises

The SonicWall Gen 8 NSa Series supports SD-WAN and can be centrally managed, making it an ideal fit for medium and distributed enterprises. This deployment allows organizations to:

• Future-proof against an ever-changing threat landscape by investing in a NGFW with multi-gigabit threat analysis performance
• Provide direct and secure internet access to distributed branch offices instead of back-hauling through corporate headquarters
• Allow distributed branch offices to securely access internal resources in corporate headquarters or in a public cloud, significantly improving application latency
• Automatically block threats that use encrypted protocols such as TLS 1.3, securing networks from the most advanced attacks.
• Reduce complexity and maximize efficiency using a central management system delivered through an intuitive single pane of glass user interface
• Leverage high port density that includes 40 GbE and 10 GbE connectivity to support a distributed enterprise and wide area networks
