·     DMZ (demilitarized zone) gives network users access to multiple public servers such as the Internet, wide-area network (WAN), and e-mail servers, while protecting sensitive data by creating a “neutral zone” or DMZ between the company’s or department’s (e.g., Human Resources and Finance) private network and the outside public network.

·     Equipped with a high-performance processor and auto-switching 10/100Mbps Fast-Ethernet ports, SonicWALL XPRS-2 is well equipped to secure today’s robust e-commerce, intranet, and large single-site networks supporting an unlimited number of users.

 Network Virus Protection

·     SonicWALL Network Anti-Virus [HTTP://WWW.SONICWALL.COM/Anti-virus\index.html] detects and removes malicious computer viruses (e.g., Macro viruses, worms, and Trojan horses) that can alter or destroy files, mail confidential data to outsiders, and even damage computer equipment.

Secure Site-to-Site Communication

·     SonicWALL XPRS-2’s VPN [HTTP://WWW.SONICWALL.COM/vpn\index.html] allows organizations to securely communicate at high speeds over the Internet to up to 25 branch offices or remote workers without leasing expensive, secure site-to-phone site lines.

 Filtered Web Access

·     Built-in Web content filtering [HTTP://WWW.SONICWALL.COM/Content-Filter\index.html] allows businesses to monitor usage and control access to unproductive and objectionable Websites according to Acceptable Use Policies. URL filtering (e.g., www.yahoo.com) and keyword filtering (e.g., nudity, violence, sex, etc.), can be customized according to various parameters, such as time of day. Java scripts, Active X scripts, and “cookies” can be blocked to protect privacy and prevent hackers from defeating firewall protection.

·     SonicWALL’s Content Filter List [http://www.sonicwall.com/Content-Filter/filter_list.html] subscription is based on the CyberNOT List, a dynamic list of sites containing inappropriate online material maintained by CyberPatrol. Updated weekly with new and relocated sites, this list is used by respected companies, such as America Online, AT&T World Net, and Microsoft.
