  • Secure Home Networks
  •    As telecommuters take advantage of broadband speed and home networking convenience, corporate networks are increasingly at risk. Activities such as file swapping, instant messaging, online gaming and video conferencing can inadvertently open up back door holes for hackers to hijack corporate VPNs.

    With the SonicWALL TELE3 TZX, your company can extend corporate security and privacy all the way to your telecommuters' homes. The TELE3 TZX creates a "trusted zone" of network security between the corporate office and the telecommuter, protecting your corporate network against malicious intrusions that occur when work computers share broadband Internet access with multiple networked family computers. This trusted zone assures that harmful intrusions cannot traverse the home network to the corporate network, and in-home users cannot access the corporate network.
    Now you can have total network security all the way from the headquarters to the home.

  • Sonicwall Complete Anti-Virus
  •    Your anti-virus software is only as good as the last virus outbreak. Therefore, updating, detection, and policy enforcement play a key role in meeting the latest threats and protecting your networks. The challenge is not just having anti-virus software deployed on your company's computer systems, but ensuring your network is protected when a new virus outbreak occurs and distributing anti-virus updates the instant they become available.

    SonicWALL Complete Anti-Virus is a distributed, gateway-enforced solution that ensures always-on, always-updated anti-virus software for every client on your network, while at the same time providing new levels of flexibility for your network servers. With SonicWALL active anti-virus protection, no employee or partner can access the Internet without the latest updates.

    SonicWALL Complete Anti-Virus combines SonicWALL's patent-pending Network Anti-Virus with the award-winning McAfee NetShield and GroupShield applications for Windows-based File, Print and Exchange servers. It provides your organization with a highly automated and enforced solution at the desktop, eliminating machine-by-machine anti-virus deployment. By delivering very fast time-to-response during rapid virus outbreaks, it reduces the time and costs associated with administering an anti-virus policy throughout your entire network.
