SonicWall Network Security Virtual (NSV) 470 Virtual Appliance
Deep security for public, private or hybrid cloud environments

The SonicWall Network Security virtual NSv 270/470/870 firewalls deliver enterprise-class security, streamlined management, complete visibility, and flexible deployment, while delivering superior performance for virtual workloads.

Vulnerabilities within virtual environments yield serious security implications and challenges. But protecting all these security vectors requires the ability to also consistently apply the right security policy to the right network control point, as some security failures can be attributed to ineffective policies or misconfigurations.

NSv firewall series helps security teams reduce these types of security risks and vulnerabilities, which can cause serious disruption to business-critical services and operations. It enables enterprises to control dynamic traffic passing through a firewall and provides visibility and insight into disparate policies. It helps simplify management tasks, reduces configuration errors and speeds up deployment time, all of which contribute to a better overall security posture.

SonicOSX and Security Services

The SonicOSX architecture is at the core of NSv 270/470/870 firewalls. It is powered by the feature-rich SonicOSX 7 operating system with an intuitive user interface (UI), advanced security, networking and management capabilities.

Built from the ground up, SonicOSX 7.0 features Unified Policy that offers integrated management of various security policies. Easily provision layer 3 to layer 7 controls in a single rule base on every firewall, providing a centralized location for configuring policies. The new web interface provides graphical visualizations of critical threat information and displays actionable alerts prompting you to configure contextual security policies with point-and-click simplicity.

NSv further integrates SD-WAN, TLS 1.3 support, real-time visualization, high-speed virtual private networking (VPN) and other robust security features. Unknown threats are sent to SonicWall’s cloud-based Capture Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) multiengine sandbox for analysis. Capture ATP harnesses Real-Time Deep Memory Inspection (RTDMI™), a SonicWall patented technology, to discover and block malware and zero-day threats that reside in memory.

With the combination of Capture ATP, RTDMI technology and security advanced services, NSv series firewalls stop malware at the gateway before it gets to your critical systems.

When operating in Global Mode, users can leverage a new Cloud Secure Edge Connector integration to provide a centralized and easy-to-manage option to provide secure access to their private applications. This approach ensures that user and device trust are repeatedly verified before granting access to specific applications, regardless of location and endpoint type.
