As a market leader in Internet security solutions, SonicWALL is dedicated to serving the security needs of federal, state and local government organizations. Offering both appliance-based products and value-added security subscriptions, SonicWALL can deliver the kind of protection needed to counter multiple security threats. Subscriptions include Gateway Anti-Virus, Anti-Spyware and Intrusion Prevention Service, Complete Anti-Virus, Content Filtering Service and an award winning management and reporting software.

Understanding the importance of compliancy issues for federal government organizations, SonicWALL works closely with the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technologies (NIST). A number of our firewall/VPN appliances, including the TZ 170 and PRO 3060, have received Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2 Level 2 certification. FIPS 140-2 is required for cryptography related products in use by federal government agencies.

A heightened sense of security coupled with serious budgetary constraints is leading many government organizations to seek comprehensive multifunction security solutions that are both affordable and easy to implement. SonicWALL offers fully integrated and competitively priced bundles designed especially to meet the needs of government customers - SonicWALL Government Editions.

Today’s healthcare environment is a challenging one. Pressures exist to reduce paperwork burdens, eliminate errors and improve patient care. New regulatory requirements such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) demand higher levels of patient privacy and system security.

To overcome these challenges, many healthcare organizations are turning towards information technology (IT) investments. Technology is being used to eliminate redundancies in clinical and administrative operations. Patients are logging onto secured Web portals to access records and schedule enquiries. Doctors are leveraging remote access technologies to retrieve vital hospital records while working from home or local clinics.

As more medical information is converted into electronic format and Internet usage continues to grow, healthcare organizations are finding their networks increasingly vulnerable to attacks.

SonicWALL offers a broad range of simple, cost-effective security solutions designed to improve network efficiency while demonstrating commitment to HIPAA compliance.

Healthcare networks are vulnerable to many kinds of hacker attacks. SonicWALL’s firewall/VPN appliances provide secure, low-cost connectivity between remote clinics or physicians offices and the hospital or head office.

Wireless networks offer healthcare organizations unprecedented freedom and flexibility. Yet, wireless technology using Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP), the standard encryption scheme, can easily be cracked. SonicWALL offers an enhanced wireless security solution leveraging VPN technology

Today’s destructive viruses can quickly damage an entire healthcare network and open up confidential network resources to hacker attacks. SonicWALL’s Complete Anti-Virus solution provides both client and server protection against harmful viruses and worms.

The HIPAA Security Rule requires healthcare organizations to adopt audit control mechanisms to help uncover suspect network activity. SonicWALL’s Global Management System (GMS) software simplifies the auditing process by turning log files about firewall attacks and user activity into meaningful reports. GMS also facilitates central management of all firewalls, value-added services and VPN gateways.

The Internet is a valuable tool in today's learning environments. Students all over the world can communicate, learn and exchange information. Teachers are increasingly efficient, and the Internet an incredible advantage in our schools. But the Internet also has a dark side: inappropriate content, malicious viruses and individuals who are out to destroy school networks and steal personal information. Additional security concerns arise from the No Child Left Behind act, which requires schools to collect vast amounts of sensitive student information for accountability purposes. How do you as an educator ensure that your schools reap the benefits of the Internet without compromising the network or the children? Affordable, integrated network security from SonicWALLTM.

Since SonicWALL was founded in 1991, we have had a special focus on the education market. In 1997, we delivered our first education solutions - integrated security appliances featuring firewall protection and content filtering in one cost-effective bundle. These solutions were designed to meet the needs of schools with limited technology staff and tight budgets. Today, the SonicWALL award-winning Education Editions continue to provide comprehensive, affordable network protection for thousands of schools and libraries worldwide.

SonicWALL Education Editions deliver comprehensive security in one easy-to-use cost-effective appliance allowing schools to protect their networks and comply with the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA). Support for the SonicWALL portfolio of optional security services eliminates the need to integrate separate devices and software. SonicWALL Education Editions can be managed by less technical staff at individual schools, enabling local control of security and content filtering policies. Additionally, district-level administrators can use a powerful set of global management tools to manage security policies centrally.
