SonicWall NSSP 15700
Scalable, cutting-edge security that leverages the power of cloud intelligence

The SonicWall Network Security services platform™ (NSsp) 15700 is a next-generation firewall with high port density and multi-gig speed interfaces, that can process several million connections for zero-day and advanced threats. Designed for large enterprise, higher education, government agencies and MSSPs, it eliminates attacks in real time without slowing performance. It is designed to be highly reliable and deliver uninterrupted services to organizations.

Enterprise-Class High-Speed Firewall

As businesses evolve along with an increase in managed and unmanaged devices, networks, cloud workloads, SaaS applications, users, Internet speeds, and encrypted connections, a firewall that can’t support any one of these becomes a bottleneck in the IT landscape. A firewall should be a source of strength and not a point of weakness.

The SonicWall NSsp 15700’s multiple 100G/40G/10G interfaces allow you to process several million simultaneous encrypted and unencrypted connections with unparallel threat prevention technology. With 70% of all sessions being encrypted, having a firewall that can process and examine this traffic without impacting the end user experience is critical to productivity and information security.

The NSsp 15700’s unified policy interface enables organizations to simply and intuitively create access and security policies in a single unified interface.

Simplified management and reporting

Ongoing management, monitoring and reporting of network activities are handled through the SonicWall Network Security Manager (pending). This provides an intuitive dashboard for managing firewall operations as well as provide historical reports – from a single source. 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.

Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW)

• Managed through a single pane of glass
• NSsp 15700 integrates with the rest of the SonicWall ecosystem of solutions
• Gain full visibility into your network to see what applications, devices, and users are doing to enforce policies as well as eliminate threats and bandwidth bottlenecks
• Integrate with Capture ATP with RTDMI for cloud-based sandboxing or Capture Security appliance for on-premise malware detection

Deep Packet Inspection of SSL/TLS (DPI-SSL) for hidden threats

• The NSsp 15700 provides inspection for over millions of simultaneous TLS/ SSL and SSH encrypted connections regardless of port or protocol
• Inclusion and exclusion rules allow customization based on specific organizational compliance and/or legal requirements
• Support for TLS cipher suites up to TLS 1.3

Segmentation and Networking

• Operate across several segmented networks, clouds, or service definitions, with unique templates, device groups, and policies across multiple devices and tenants
• MSSPs can also support multiple customers with a clean pipe along with unique policies

Mutli-Instance Firewall

• Multi-instance is the next generation of multi-tenancy
• Each tenant is isolated with dedicated compute resources to avoid resource starvation
• It features physical and logical ports/tenants
• It supports independent tenant policy and configuration management
• Leverage version independence and High Availability (HA) support for tenants

Wire Mode Functionality

• Bypass Mode for the quick and relatively non-interruptive introduction of firewall hardware into a network
• Inspect Mode to extend Bypass Mode without functionally altering the low-risk, zero latency packet path
• Secure Mode to actively interposing the firewall's multi-core processors into the packet processing path
• Tap Mode to ingest a mirrored packet stream via a single switch port on the firewall, eliminating the need for physically intermediated insertion

Advanced Threat Protection

• SonicWall Capture Advanced Threat Protection™ (ATP) is used by over 150,000 customers across the world through a variety of solutions and it helps to discover and stop over 1,200 new forms of malware each business day
• For compliance and performancesensitive customers, the NSsp 15700 integrates with Capture Security appliance (CSa), a local device based on the memory-based file analysis technology, Real-Time Deep Memory Inspection™ (RTDMI)

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

Content Filtering Services

• Compare requested web sites against a massive database in the cloud containing millions of rated URLs, IP addresses and web sites
• Create and apply policies that allow or deny access to sites based on individual or group identity, or by time of day, for over 50 pre-defined categories

Intrusion Prevention System (IPS)

• Delivers a configurable, high performance Deep Packet Inspection engine for extended protection of key network services such as Web, e-mail, file transfer, Windows services and DNS
• Designed to protect against application vulnerabilities as well as worms, trojans, and peer-to-peer, spyware and backdoor exploits
• The extensible signature language provides proactive defense against newly discovered application and protocol vulnerabilities
• SonicWall IPS offloads the costly and time-consuming burden of maintaining and updating signatures for new attacks through SonicWall's industry-leading Distributed Enforcement Architecture (DEA)

IoT and Application Control

• The NSsp 15700 catalogs thousands of applications through App Control and monitors their traffic for anomalous behavior through the on-board Application Firewall
• Segment managed from unmanaged devices with unique management and access profiles
