Sonic Wall Network Security virtual (NSv) firewalls protect all critical components of your private/public cloud environment from resource misuse attacks, cross virtual machine attacks, side channel attacks & common network based exploits & threats. It captures traffic between virtual machines & networks for automated breach prevention & establishes access control measures for data confidentiality & ensures VMs safety & integrity. Automated breach prevention This
Includes:: complete advanced threat protection, including high-performance intrusion & malware prevention, and cloud-based sandboxing. Around-the-clock security New threat updates are automatically pushed to firewalls in the field with active security services, and take effect immediately without reboots or interruptions. Zero-day protection NSv protects against zero-day attacks with constant updates against the latest exploit methods & techniques that cover thousands of individual exploits. Application intelligence & control With application-specific policies, NSv provides granular control over network traffic on the level of users, email addresses, schedules, and IP-subnets. It controls custom applications by creating signatures based on specific parameters or patterns unique to an application in its network communications. Internal or external network access are allowed or denied based on various criteria. Data leakage prevention NSv provides the ability to scan streams of data for keywords. This restricts the transfer of certain file names, file types, email attachments, attachment types, email with certain subjects, and email or attachments with certain keywords or byte patterns. Secure communication NSv ensures that data exchange between groups of virtual machines is done securely, including isolation, confidentiality, integrity, and information flow control within these networks via use of segmentation. Access control NSv validates that only VMs that satisfy a given set of conditions are able to access data that belongs to another through the use of VLANs. User authentication NSv creates policies to control or restrict VM & workload access by unauthorized users. Data confidentiality NSv blocks information theft & illegitimate access to protected data & services.
