The SonicWall TZ series enables small to mid-size organizations and distributed enterprises realize the
benefits of an integrated security solution that checks all the boxes. Combining high-speed threat
prevention and software-defined wide area networking (SD-WAN) technology with an extensive range of
networking and wireless features plus simplified deployment and centralized management, the TZ series
provides a unified security solution at a low total cost of ownership.
View Datasheet
Flexible, integrated security solution
The foundation of the TZ series is SonicOS, SonicWall’s feature-rich operating system. SonicOS includes a
powerful set of capabilities that provides organizations with the flexibility to tune these Unified Threat
Management (UTM) firewalls to their specific network requirements. For example, creating a secure high-speed
wireless network is simplified through a built-in wireless controller and support for the IEEE 802.11ac
standard or by adding our SonicWave 802.11ac Wave 2 access points. To reduce the cost and complexity of
connecting high-speed wireless access points and other Power over Ethernet (PoE)-enabled devices such as IP
cameras, phones and printers, the TZ300P and TZ600P provide PoE/PoE+ power.
Distributed retail businesses and campus environments can take advantage of the many tools in SonicOS to
gain even greater benefits. Branch locations are able to exchange information securely with the central
office using virtual private networking (VPN). Creating virtual LANs (VLANs) enables segmentation of the
network into separate corporate and customer groups with rules that determine the level of communication
with devices on other VLANs. SD-WAN offers a secure alternative to costly MPLS circuits while delivering
consistent application performance and availability. Deploying TZ firewalls to remote locations is easy
using Zero-Touch Deployment which enables provisioning of the firewall remotely through the cloud.
Superior threat prevention and performance
Our vision for securing networks in today’s continually-evolving cyber threat landscape is automated,
realtime threat detection and prevention. Through a combination of cloud-based and on-box technologies we
deliver protection to our firewalls that’s been validated by independent third-party testing for its
extremely high security effectiveness. Unknown threats are sent to SonicWall’s cloud-based Capture Advanced
Threat Protection (ATP) multiengine sandbox for analysis. Enhancing Capture ATP is our patent-pending
Real-Time Deep Memory Inspection (RTDMI™) technology. The RTDMI engine detects and blocks malware and
zero-day threats by inspecting directly in memory. RTDMI technology is precise, minimizes false positives,
and identifies and mitigates sophisticated attacks where the malware’s weaponry is exposed for less than 100
nanoseconds. In combination, our patented single-pass Reassembly-Free Deep Packet Inspection (RFDPI) engine
examines every byte of every packet, inspecting both inbound and outbound traffic directly on the firewall.
By leveraging Capture ATP with RTDMI technology in the SonicWall Capture Cloud Platform in addition to
on-box capabilities including intrusion prevention, anti-malware and web/ URL filtering, TZ series firewalls
stop malware, ransomware and other threats at the gateway. For mobile devices used outside the firewall
perimeter, SonicWall Capture Client provides an added layer of protection by applying advanced threat
protection techniques such as machine learning and system rollback. Capture Client also leverages the deep
inspection of encrypted TLS traffic (DPI-SSL) on TZ series firewalls by installing and managing trusted TLS
certificates.
The continued growth in the use of encryption to secure web sessions means it is imperative firewalls are
able to scan encrypted traffic for threats. TZ series firewalls provide complete protection by performing
full decryption and inspection of TLS/SSL and SSH encrypted connections regardless of port or protocol. The
firewall searches for protocol non-compliance, threats, zerodays, intrusions, and even defined criteria by
looking deep inside every packet. The deep packet inspection engine detects and prevents hidden attacks that
leverage cryptography. It also blocks encrypted malware downloads, ceases the spread of infections and
thwarts command and control (C&C) communications and data exfiltration. Inclusion and exclusion rules
allow total control to customize which traffic is subjected to decryption and inspection based on specific
organizational compliance and/or legal requirements.
Easy deployment, setup and ongoing management
SonicWall makes it easy to configure and manage TZ series firewalls and SonicWave 802.11ac Wave 2 access
points no matter where you deploy them. Centralized management, reporting, licensing and analytics are
handled through our cloud-based Capture Security Center which offers the ultimate in visibility, agility and
capacity to centrally govern the entire SonicWall security ecosystem from a single pane of glass.
A key component of the Capture Security Center is Zero-Touch Deployment. This cloud-based feature
simplifies and speeds the deployment and provisioning of SonicWall firewalls at remote and branch office
locations. The process requires minimal user intervention, and is fully automated to operationalize
firewalls at scale in just a few steps. This significantly reduces the time, cost and complexity associated
with installation and configuration, while security and connectivity occurs instantly and automatically.
Together, the simplified deployment and setup along with the ease of management enable organizations to
lower their total cost of ownership and realize a high return on investment.

Deployment & Architecture:
Capture Cloud Platform
SonicWall's Capture Cloud Platform delivers cloud-based threat prevention and network management plus
reporting and analytics for organizations of any size. The platform consolidates threat intelligence
gathered from multiple sources including our award-winning multi-engine network sandboxing service, Capture
Advanced Threat Protection, as well as more than 1 million SonicWall sensors located around the globe.
If data coming into the network is found to contain previously-unseen malicious code, SonicWall’s
dedicated, in-house Capture Labs threat research team develops signatures that are stored in the Capture
Cloud Platform database and deployed to customer firewalls for up-to-date protection. New updates take
effect immediately without reboots or interruptions. The signatures resident on the appliance protect
against wide classes of attacks, covering tens of thousands of individual threats. In addition to the
countermeasures on the appliance, TZ firewalls also have continuous access to the Capture Cloud Platform
database which extends the onboard signature intelligence with tens of millions of signatures.
In addition to providing threat prevention, the Capture Cloud Platform offers single pane of glass
management and administrators can easily create both real-time and historical reports on network activity.
Advanced threat protection
At the center of SonicWall automated, real-time breach prevention is SonicWall Capture Advanced Threat
Protection service, a cloud-based multi-engine sandbox that extends firewall threat protection to detect and
prevent zeroday threats. Suspicious files are sent to the cloud where they are analyzed using deep learning
algorithms with the option to hold them at the gateway until a verdict is determined. The multi-engine
sandbox platform, which includes Real-Time Deep Memory Inspection, virtualized sandboxing, full system
emulation and hypervisor level analysis technology, executes suspicious code and analyzes behavior. When a
file is identified as malicious, it is blocked and a hash is immediately created within Capture ATP. Soon
after, a signature is sent to firewalls to prevent follow-on attacks.
The service analyzes a broad range of operating systems and file types, including executable programs, DLL,
PDFs, MS Office documents, archives, JAR and APK.
For complete endpoint protection, the SonicWall Capture Client combines next-generation anti-virus
technology with SonicWall's cloud-based multi-engine sandbox.
Reassembly-Free Deep Packet Inspection engine
The SonicWall Reassembly-Free Deep Packet Inspection (RFDPI) is a singlepass, low latency inspection system
that performs stream-based, bi-directional traffic analysis at high speed without proxying or buffering to
effectively uncover intrusion attempts and malware downloads while identifying application traffic
regardless of port and protocol. This proprietary engine relies on streaming traffic payload inspection to
detect threats at Layers 3-7, and takes network streams through extensive and repeated normalization and
decryption in order to neutralize advanced evasion techniques that seek to confuse detection engines and
sneak malicious code into the network.
Once a packet undergoes the necessary pre-processing, including TLS/SSL decryption, it is analyzed against
a single, proprietary memory representation of three signature databases: intrusion attacks, malware and
applications. The connection state is then advanced to represent the position of the stream relative to
these databases until it encounters a state of attack, or other “match” event, at which point a pre-set
action is taken.
In most cases, the connection is terminated and proper logging and notification events are created.
However, the engine can also be configured for inspection only or, in case of application detection, to
provide Layer 7 bandwidth management services for the remainder of the application stream as soon as the
application is identified.
Centralized management and reporting
For highly regulated organizations wanting to achieve a fully coordinated security governance, compliance
and risk management strategy, SonicWall provides administrators a unified, secure and extensible platform to
manage SonicWall firewalls, wireless access points and Dell N-Series and X-Series switches through a
correlated and auditable workstream process. Enterprises can easily consolidate the management of security
appliances, reduce administrative and troubleshooting complexities, and govern all operational aspects of
the security infrastructure, including centralized policy management and enforcement; real-time event
monitoring; user activities; application identifications; flow analytics and forensics; compliance and audit
reporting; and more. In addition, enterprises meet the firewall’s change management requirements through
workflow automation which provides the agility and confidence to deploy the right firewall policies at the
right time and in conformance with compliance regulations. Available on premises as SonicWall Global
Management System and in the cloud as Capture Security Center, SonicWall management and reporting solutions
provide a coherent way to manage network security by business processes and service levels, dramatically
simplifying lifecycle management of your overall security environments compared to managing on a
device-by-device basis.
Distributed networks
Because of their flexibility, TZ series firewalls are ideally suited for both distributed enterprise and
single site deployments. In distributed networks like those found in retail organizations, each site has its
own TZ firewall which connects to the Internet often through a local provider using a DSL, cable or 3G/4G
connection. In addition to Internet access, each firewall utilizes an Ethernet connection to transport
packets between remote sites and the central headquarters. Web services and SaaS applications such as Office
365, Salesforce and others are served up from the data center. Through mesh VPN technology, IT
administrators can create a hub and spoke configuration for the safe transport of data between all
locations.
The SD-WAN technology in SonicOS is a perfect complement to TZ firewalls deployed at remote and branch
sites. Instead of relying on more expensive legacy technologies such as MPLS and T1, organizations using
SD-WAN can choose lower-cost public Internet services while continuing to achieve a high level of
application availability and predictable performance.
Capture Security Center
Tying the distributed network together is SonicWall’s cloud-based Capture Security Center (CSC) which
centralizes deployment, ongoing management and real-time analytics of the TZ firewalls. A key feature of CSC
is ZeroTouch Deployment. Configuring and deploying firewalls across multiple sites is time-consuming and
requires onsite personnel. However ZeroTouch Deployment removes these challenges by simplifying and speeding
the deployment and provisioning of SonicWall firewalls remotely through the cloud. Similarly, CSC eases
ongoing management by providing cloud-based single-pane-of-glass management for SonicWall devices on the
network. For complete situational awareness of the network security environment, SonicWall Analytics offers
a single-pane view into all activity occurring inside the network. Organizations gain a deeper understanding
of application usage and performance while reducing the possibility of Shadow IT.
Single Sites
For single site deployments, having an integrated network security solution is highly beneficial. TZ series
firewalls combine high security effectiveness with options such as built-in 802.11ac wireless and, in the
case of the TZ300P and TZ600P, PoE/PoE+ support. The same security engine in our mid-range NSa series and
high-end NSsp series is featured in TZ series firewall along with the broad feature set of SonicOS.
Configuration and management is easy using the intuitive SonicOS UI. Organizations save valuable rack space
due to the compact desktop form factor.
Specifications:
For small business, retail and branch office locations, the SonicWall TZ400 series delivers
enterprise-grade protection. Flexible wireless deployment is available with optional 802.11ac dual-band
wireless integrated into the firewall.

Services & Add-Ons:
Advanced Gateway Security Suite (AGSS)
Leverage SonicWall Advanced Gateway Security Suite (AGSS) to deliver a multi-engine sandbox, powerful
anti‐virus, anti‐spyware, intrusion prevention, content filtering, as well as application intelligence and
control services. An upgrade over CGSS, this package features Capture Advanced Threat Protection (ATP), a
multi-engine sandbox that runs and inspects suspicious files, programs and code in an isolated cloud-based
environment.
TotalSecure hardware & services bundle
Enjoy the convenience and affordability of deploying your firewall as a SonicWall TotalSecure solution.
This combines the hardware and all the services needed for comprehensive network protection from viruses,
spyware, worms, Trojans, key loggers and more — before they enter your network — and without the complexity
of building your own security package.
Comprehensive Gateway Security Suite (CGSS)
Get the most from your UTM firewall with the SonicWall Comprehensive Security Suite (CGSS) subscription.
CGSS includes Gateway Anti-Virus, Anti-Spyware, Intrusion Prevention, Application Intelligence and Control
Service, Content/URL Filtering and 24x7 Support. Combine security, productivity and support in a single
solution with a low cost of ownership and greater ROI compared with buying each of the services
individually.
Gateway security services
Enable your small business firewall appliance to provide real-time network threat prevention with SonicWall
Gateway Anti-Virus, Anti-Spyware, Intrusion Prevention, and Application Intelligence and Control. Block the
latest blended threats, including viruses, spyware, worms, Trojans, software vulnerabilities and other
malicious code. Also, guarantee bandwidth prioritization and ensure maximum network security and
productivity, with the granular control and real-time visualization with Application Intelligence and
Control.
Capture Advanced Threat Protection
The cloud-based SonicWall Capture Advanced Threat Protection Service scans a broad range of files to detect
advanced threats, analyzes them in a multi-engine sandbox, blocks them prior to a security verdict, and
rapidly deploys remediation signatures. The result is higher security effectiveness, faster response times
and a lower total cost of ownership.
Content filtering services
Gain a cost-effective, easy-to-manage way to enforce protection and productivity policies, and block
inappropriate, unproductive and dangerous web content in educational, business or government environments.
SonicWall Content Filtering Service lets you control access to websites based on rating, IP address, URL and
more. You get the ideal combination of control and flexibility to ensure the highest levels of protection
and productivity, which you can configure and control from your small business firewall appliance,
eliminating the need for a costly, dedicated filtering solution. Extend enforcement of your internal
policies to devices located outside the firewall perimeter by blocking unwanted internet content with the
Content Filtering Client.
Content Filtering Client
Extend the enforcement of web policies in IT-issued devices outside the network perimeter. Although it
doesn't require a firewall, it can be optionally coupled with SonicWall Content Filtering Service as an
ideal combination to keep students and employees off of dangerous or non-productive websites by switching to
cloud-enforced policies even when they are using roaming devices.
Support Services
Keep your security infrastructure current and react swiftly to any problem that may occur. If you need
advanced technical support and additional benefits of ongoing software and firmware updates, SonicWall 24x7
support gives you an around-the clock service that includes:
- Telephone and web-based support 24x7
- Direct access to a team of highly trained senior support engineers
- Advance exchange hardware replacement in the event of failure
- Access to Electronic support tools
Enforced client anti-virus and anti-spyware software
Execute an innovative, multi-layered anti-virus internet security strategy, with SonicWall firewalls and
Enforced Client Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware software. You get SonicWall Reassembly-Free Deep Packet
Inspection anti-malware at the gateway, and enforced anti-virus protection at the endpoints. You can
redirect any user with a non-compliant endpoint to a web page to install the latest Enforced Client
Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware software. Provide automatically updated security definitions to the endpoint as
soon as they become available to protect against today's rapidly evolving threats. Automate enforcement to
minimize administrative overhead.
Comprehensive anti-spam service
Block threats from your email server and stop spam at the gateway by adding SonicWall Comprehensive
Anti-Spam Service (CASS) to your SonicWall firewall. Rapidly deploy your spam firewall software with
one-click activation of up to 250 users.
Reporting software
Enjoy easy-to-use web-based traffic analytics and reporting, along with real-time and historical insight
into the health, performance and security of your network. SonicWall Analyzer supports SonicWall firewalls
and secure remote access devices while leveraging application traffic analytics for security event reports.
