Dell today announced the release of the Dell SonicWALL TZ Wireless Firewall Series, comprehensive wireless network security solutions that enable both small- and mid-sized businesses and large, distributed enterprises to realize the benefits of enterprise-class 802.11ac wireless performance and security, with a simple network set-up and management console, all at a lower total cost of ownership. Wireless is no longer an option for most businesses its an imperative, and a competitive differentiator for organizations of all sizes. By including wireless in the security perimeter, the organization can separate guest users from employees, and employ a consistent set of protection policies. With the wrong firewall, however, the business is susceptible to costly hits including multi-million dollar remediation expenses, immeasurable brand damage and loss of public confidence. Weak, outdated firewalls and intrusion detection systems are blind to modern encrypted threats, giving cyber-criminals a clear path to slip malware into the network, evade detection and steal data. Network performance and user productivity plummet when the firewall chokes under compute-intensive operations such as decrypting and inspecting SSL traffic. As indicated in the 2015 Dell Security Annual Threat Report, more companies were exposed to attackers "hiding in plain sight" as a result of SSL/TLS encrypted traffic, making it critical for firewalls to inspect both wired and wireless traffic. Secure wireless connectivity should enable the business by boosting productivity for employees, onsite partners and contractors, as well as enhancing customer experience and satisfaction, and increasing sales and loyalty at a cost usually less than that of deploying a wired infrastructure. Additionally, wireless performance levels now must be capable of supporting bandwidth-intensive mobile applications such as HD video and voice over IP (VoIP) to guarantee acceptable quality of service levels. While many organizations struggle with the concern that increasing security will result in a poorly performing network, Dells comprehensive wireless network security solutions are some of the few in the industry that are both easy to install and easy to manage offering deep packet inspection comparable to wired networks, delivering greater security, and providing exceptional performance at a lower total cost of ownership than deploying an enterprise-level firewall. Dell TZ wireless firewalls provide enterprise-grade security and high-performance wireless access Dells wireless network security solutions combine high-performance 802.11ac wireless technology with the new, next-generation wireless TZ series firewalls to deliver enterprise-class wireless performance and security, while dramatically simplifying network setup and management. The new TZ series firewalls secure the wireless network by scanning wireless traffic coming into and going out of the network and decontaminating it from network threats, and leverage deep packet inspection (DPI) to provide excellent performance while also protecting the network from wireless intrusion attacks. Benefits of the new Dell SonicWALL TZ Wireless Series include:

Supporting Quotes: Patrick Sweeney, executive director, Dell Security "Attacks against all networks including wireless networks are becoming more sophisticated, and require a solution that ensures the highest level of security without compromising performance or bandwidth. We observed a 100 percent increase in the use of HTTPS traffic to obfuscate content. Whether that is wired or wireless traffic, its a problem for security. Dell SonicWALL TZ wireless firewalls support the latest high-speed 802.11ac wireless standard, as well as the ability to inspect encrypted traffic, helping to ensure ultra-secure connectivity. Our TZ wireless firewalls also provide a multi-layered approach to security that leverages our industry-leading deep packet inspection, application intelligence, control and visualization, as well as central management technology to provide an easy-to-deploy, high performing solution for both SMBs and large, distributed enterprises." Kathleen Chugh, vice president of information technology, Bravo/Brio Restaurant Group "We recognized early on that offering guests WiFi access would elevate customer service across our 114 restaurants in 31 states. Yet, we knew that protecting cardholder data was first and foremost. With Dell SonicWALLs cost-effective and easy-to-deploy and manage wireless network security solutions, we have the peace of mind in knowing that all the security features we need are PCI compliant and right at the perimeter to ensure the highest levels of secure access for our customers." Tim Martinez, president, Western NRG, Inc. "Since I upgraded my remote office to the new TZ500 wireless, I have noticed a substantial increase in my Internet speeds. I am truly taking advantage of the 100Mb download offering from my ISP. In addition, I have also added the new SonicPoint ACi to the network, which allows me to connect anywhere in the multi-story 3400-square-foot facility. I now have seamless wireless access to networking resources with amazing speeds." |
