The SonicWall Advanced Protection Security Suite (APSS) is the most comprehensive protection package for your SonicWall firewall. It bundles all essential security services under a single license and reliably protects your network against viruses, ransomware, zero-day exploits, and other modern cyber threats. With APSS, you get not only preventive protection but also proactive defenses that stop attacks before they enter your corporate network.

Included services in detail

Gateway Anti-Malware, Intrusion Prevention (IPS) & Application Control

These core services analyze all traffic in real time. Malware, spyware, worms, trojans, and exploits are detected and blocked immediately. The Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) additionally protects against attacks targeting known vulnerabilities. With Application Control, you can also selectively control or block applications and protocols (e.g., social media, streaming, peer-to-peer) — for more bandwidth and security on the corporate network.

Capture Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) with RTDMI™

Capture ATP is SonicWall’s zero-day defense. Suspicious files are executed and analyzed in a cloud-based sandbox before they reach the network. Thanks to the patented RTDMI™ (Real-Time Deep Memory Inspection) technology, SonicWall detects even obfuscated malware and attacks that evade traditional signature methods. This provides optimal protection against novel ransomware and zero-day exploits.

Content Filtering Service (CFS)

The Content Filtering Service lets you control internet access across your organization. Over 50 predefined categories (e.g., malware sites, gambling, pornography, social media) enable simple, precise policy enforcement. With Active Directory integration, you can flexibly tailor policies for user groups or individual departments.

DNS Security

The DNS Filtering Service adds another security layer to the web filter. During the DNS query, domains are checked to determine whether they are malicious or compromised. This blocks access to botnet controllers, phishing sites, or malware sources before any connection is established.

Comprehensive Anti-Spam Service (CASS)

With the optional Anti-Spam Service, you protect your email communications. CASS filters spam, phishing attempts, and dangerous email attachments before they reach employees’ inboxes. This not only reduces the risk of targeted attacks but also eases the load on your mail servers.

24x7 Support & Firmware Updates

As part of APSS, you receive around-the-clock SonicWall support. This includes software and firmware updates that continuously deliver new security features and improvements. Your firewall remains up to date, and you have rapid access to vendor support when it matters.
