SonicWall SonicOS
Purpose-built Network Security Operating System


Introducing SonicOS 7

Scale faster, protect more and re-gain control. The new SonicOS 7 architecture is SonicWall's most advanced security operating system and is at the core of our latest physical and virtual firewalls, including models from the TZ, NSv and NSsp Series.


What's New in SonicOS 7

  • Advanced Protection Against Encrypted Threats
    TLS 1.3 decryption detects threats hiding in encrypted traffic without sacrificing performance.
  • Simplified Integrations
    New Rest APIS allow SonicWall firewalls to be integrated with other security solutions, including hybrid policy orchestrators, SIEM, RMM, NAC, SOAR and more.
  • Multi-instance Support
    SonicOS 7's multi-instance support for enterpise firewalls allows multiple independent firewall instances to run on the same hardware, achieving multi-tenancy and maximizing operational simplicity.
  • Easy, Zero-Touch Deployment
    The new SonicExpress Mobile App offers true zero-touch deployment, eliminating truck rolls, saving money, and easing the deployment of golden configs at branch locations.

Simplify Oversight with a Modern User Interface

SonicOS 7's modern and intuitive user interface features intelligent device dashboards, redesigned topologies, and simplified policy creation and management.

Network and threat dashboards provide a top-level summary of the overall health of the appliance and threat insights based on what the firewall sees in your network.


Enhanced Dashboards

To reduce user's cognitive load, SonicOS 7 features rule visualization that offers quick and intuitive insights into the type of traffic the rule is for, what it does from a security inspection perspective, and what traffic is hitting it. The newly designed security rules interface also enables inline edits, as well as other capabilities for greater ease of use.


Security Rule Visualization

Adding, removing or changing rules can result in misconfigurations that expose networks, data and users to attackers. SonicOS 7 includes new features such as visibility in custom rules and hit counts, shadow rule detection and rule optimization to eliminate misconfigurations. With its focus on improved usability, SonicOS 7 makes it easier than ever to keep the security rule base tidy and manageable.


Secuirty Role Optimization

SonicOS 7 provides a topology view of your firewall and the endpoints behind it - including dashboards that detail the traffic passing through your firewalls, who is responsible for it, and what threats it contains. The new SonicOS Notification Center displays actionable alerts, allowing administrators to take immediate action on firewall-related events. And a new Capture Threat Assessment Report provides executive-level, summarized insights into traffic, risky applications, and a variety of malware and other threats.


Unified Improved Visibility
