Rebuilding cyber security practices for new normal

Mohamed Abdallah, Regional Director META, SonicWall.

Hundreds of thousands of organisations partner with SonicWall for success, tapping into its deep expertise securing workforces and massively distributed IT — on premises, in the cloud or secure network as a service. SonicWall’s customer first culture and extensive network of certified partners ensure customers never go it alone. 

Earlier this year, SonicWall launched the Boundless Cybersecurity platform in response to a growing cyber security business gap and a proven decrease in security among remote workers compared to employees working at company headquarters.

The boundless platform protects a limitless amount of exposure points for the benefit of increasingly remote, mobile and cloud-enabled workforces. Implemented with automation and machine learning technology, allowing for real-time prevention, the platform also aims to provide unified visibility across the workforce, putting an end to management silos. 

Additionally, it provides scalable costs, allowing companies to save money in the midst of these uncertain times.

As emerging technologies mature, it is imperative that companies make the necessary investments to ensure they are prepared for what is to come while making it seamless to the operation of their organisations. 

As remote users require more and more devices, the reliance upon IoT continues to rise and extended distributed networks are challenged with evolving security and connectivity measures. 

Securing these newly extended networks quickly and thoroughly has become a top priority. Business success often coincides with expansion, leading to an increased need for visibility, security and bandwidth across a distributed organisation. 

Organisations must re-architect for the new business normal which includes implementing cost-effective, software-defined networking and security principles across the business. Due to these rapid transformations, SonicWall consistently works towards providing a re-imagined security experience. 

SonicWall Cloud Edge Secure Access that delivers easy-to-deploy, easy-to-use zero-trust security for organisations operating in a modern work-from-anywhere model.

Full line of high-performance, multi-gigabit, zero-touch enabled firewalls especially designed for mid-sized organisations and distributed enterprises with SD-WAN locations and comes with a convenient USB 3.0 port to quickly and reliably add 5G connectivity.

Multi-engine SonicWall Capture Advanced Threat Protection sandbox service with RTDMI technology is now available as an on-prem appliance via the all-new CSa 1000. RTDMI is one of the few technologies that is capable of network-based protection against code necessary to execute side-channel attacks such as Meltdown, Spectre, Foreshadow, PortSmash, Spoiler, MDS and TPM-Fai. 

SonicOS 7.0 and Network Security Manager 2.0 to provide increased visibility, management and control via all-new user interfaces. The modern user experience is smartly organised, includes intelligent device dashboards, re-designed topologies, SonicExpress mobile app support, and simplified policy creation and management.
