Why Protection and Performance Matters

Protection and performance go hand-in-hand for Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFWs)

Learn More Why Protection and Performance Matters Protection and performance go hand-in-hand for Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFWs). Organizations should not have to sacrifice throughput and productivity for security. Outdated firewalls pose a serious security risk to organizations since they fail to inspect data payload of network packets. Many vendors tout Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) speeds only, but the real measure of security and performance is deep packet inspection throughput and effectiveness. To address this deficiency, many firewall vendors adopted the malware inspection approach used by traditional desktop anti-virus: buffer downloaded files, then inspect for malware. This method not only introduces significant latency and but also poses significant security risks since temporary memory storage can limit the maximum file size. Independent NSS Lab tests demonstrate that the Dell SonicWALL SuperMassive E10800 Next-Generation Firewall incorporating multi-core architecture and Reassembly-Free Deep Packet Inspection (RFDPI) overcome these limitations to provide enterprises with both extremely high-levels of protection and performance that they require.
