Multi-gigabit threat performance for mid-sized networks: SonicWall NSA 2700
Earlier this year, we released new NSsp 15700, TZ670 and TZ570 firewalls built around our new SonicOS 7.0 architecture. Now, we’re bringing this same game-changing OS to small- to medium-sized businesses (SMB) and mid-sized networks.
The new SonicWall NSa 2700 firewall offers industry-leading performance. And the highest port density in its class, with TLS 1.3 support that stops cyberattacks and eliminates bottlenecks. For enterprises that have grown beyond the capacity of the TZ series, the NSa 2700 offers enterprise-grade security without the need for an enterprise-scale appliance. Or the price tag that goes with it. The NSa 2700 mid-range firewall offers a full high-availability (HA) solution without traditional HA prices and delivers 3Gbps threat inspection throughput at a fraction of the price of the second-best next-generation firewall in its class.

Cost-effective SD-Branch solutions: SonicWall TZ270, TZ370 and TZ470
Cybercriminals have shifted from focusing on large enterprises to targeting any organization they think they can gain access to — meaning you can no longer rely on size to protect you. Designed for SMBs including distributed enterprises with SD-Branch locations, SonicWall’s Generation 7 TZ models combine industry-validated security effectiveness with best-in-class price performance.
These new TZ firewall appliances offer all the user-friendliness and critical management capabilities of SonicOS 7.0. Despite their smaller size (and price tag), the new TZ appliances allow you to connect and secure up to 1 million connections. 35,000 concurrent connections on SSL/TLS with DPI-SSL enabled.
Like their larger counterparts, the new TZ firewalls pack a lot of power, with 2.5 gigabit interfaces on the TZ470 and gigabit interfaces on the TZ370 and TZ270. All are available in wired and wireless models with 802.11ac Wave2, supporting integrated SD-WAN and offering expandable storage of up to 256 GB, Zero-Touch Deployment, and single-pane-of-glass management using our recently launched Network Security Manager.
TZ firewalls are also 5G- and LTE-ready, with a convenient USB 3.0 for 5G connectivity with several LTE and 5G modules from various ISPs qualified.

Zero-trust security that’s easy to deploy and use: SonicWall Cloud Edge Secure Access
The adoption of remote work, and tighter collaborations with partners and BYOD have redefined perimeter security — and in today’s boundless enterprise, enforcing security policies has never been more challenging.
While VPN is a smart choice for specific deployment scenarios, it introduces its own set of challenges. While securing the perimeter is crucial, it’s no longer enough: To truly protect your network, cybersecurity must go wherever work gets done, and extend to wherever your assets reside
With Cloud Edge Secure Access, SonicWall delivers easy-to-deploy, easy-to-use zero-trust security for site-to-site and hybrid cloud connectivity. This robust, cloud-native Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) offering can be configured by IT admins in as little as 15 minutes, and self-installed by end users in just 5 minutes.
Built around a Least-Privilege Access philosophy, SonicWall Cloud Edge Secure Access limits access to only those who need it. It allows you to control and protect network access for both managed and unmanaged devices based on identity, location, and device parameters. This approach ensures the protection of sensitive network areas and secures resources while maintaining productivity and flexibility.
If you’re concerned about DDoS, SlowLoris, or SYN Flood attacks, there’s no need to worry. SonicWall Cloud Edge Secure Access, supported by over 30 global points of presence and built on Software-Defined Perimeter (SDP) core architecture, is resistant to these common cyber threats. Additionally, it proactively monitors environments and automatically secures connections in public Wi-Fi hotspots, enhancing protection for remote work.
