The Opportunity

Enterprise-grade protection without the trade-off

Strong endpoint protection should not force a choice between affordability and effectiveness. SonicWall Endpoint Security delivers enterprise-grade next-generation antivirus (NGAV) and endpoint detection and response (EDR) on one agent, managed from SonicWall Unified Management so you see endpoint alerts alongside your other SonicWall solutions.

For a limited time, every new Gen 8 firewall bought on a 3-year Secure Upgrade SKU includes free Endpoint Security Advanced seed licenses, so you can protect your endpoints from day one.

One platform. One console.

Manage your Gen 8 firewalls and endpoints together

Seed licenses included with every eligible Gen 8 purchase reduce tool sprawl and shorten your path to security outcomes.
