Sonicwall Government

Keeping government agencies secure without compromising performance.
Because government agencies frequently deal with sensitive and private data, government agencies require the strictest teleworking security policies. SonicWALL® Secure Remote Access (SRA) solutions allow government employees to work from any location, securely, without any compromise on performance. We offer fully integrated, competitively priced bundles designed to address the multifunction security needs of federal, state and local governments and meet certification requirements such as FIPS and Common Criteria EAL. SonicWALL solutions secure some of the largest government agencies in the country, allowing agencies to manage thousands of appliances from a central location, while ensuring that data is continuously protected—and instantly recoverable.


Sonicwall Government compliance
Government networks are often prime targets for hackers seeking to steal identities and even sensitive government and military information. Therefore, government agencies have the strictest security requirements. Mandates and legislation such as the Homeland Security Act of 2002, National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace, Common Criteria Evaluation Assurance Level (EAL) and the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) help safeguard public information by setting out guidelines and recommendations for a secure government infrastructure. SonicWALL offers the most practical approach in dealing with government-mandated requirements, helping government agencies become and remain compliant, and safeguarding entrusted information. Several SonicWALL Network Security Appliance (NSA) and SRA solutions have received EAL 4+1 and FIPS 140-22 certification.

Comprehensive network security.
Government networks are often large, and often administrators must grant access to contractors, temporary staff and third parties, as well as off-site teleworkers. Having an active policy of promoting telework, the government is the largest teleworking organization in the country. SonicWALL network security solutions with secure VPN capability allow each agency to control who can access the network and what they can access, enabling IT to maintain a high level of security, while still allowing easy access when required.

Secure remote access.
SonicWALL Government SRA provides government agencies with an affordable and simple clientless remote solution that facilitates teleworking and access by authorized contractors and other third parties. Administrators are able to configure SRA to allow remote workers to access what they need, but only what they need, so their remote access infrastructure does not become a weak point in the network.

Disaster recovery.
In maintaining the largest databases in the world, government installations require data to be instantly available—as well as secure. Organizations must protect data in case of emergency or disaster, and SonicWALL can serve as part of a government agency’s disaster/recovery plan. Our Backup and Recovery solution with SonicWALL Continuous Data Protection (CDP) allows for automatic archiving, backup and restoration in real time. Government agencies cannot afford downtime, nor can they afford losing data. CDP enables organizations to back up data in real time, without having to bring down the system or reboot, and users can restore data from any point in time.

SonicWALL Government solutions are well suited for local, state and federal organizations. Delivering appliance-based products as well as security subscriptions, SonicWALL can address security threats of every kind.
