Introduction
The shift to cloud, proliferation of connected devices, expanding threat landscape, and skills shortage have all conspired to make security more difficult than ever.

Consolidated firewall platforms that provide strong security, ease of use, and flexibility can help security teams do more with less and efficiently protect their organization. SonicWall’s network security portfolio, consisting of both its enterprise-grade firewalls and Network Security Manager (NSM), helps converge network and security capabilities, supporting more consistent protection across the entire environment and more efficient threat detection and response.
