SonicWall 02-SSC-6844 TZ470 Firewall

The SonicWall 02-SSC-6844 TZ470 Total Secure Advanced Essential Edition represents a paradigm shift in network security for distributed enterprises, retail chains, remote offices, and mid-sized businesses. As cyber threats grow in sophistication and volume, the need for a consolidated, high-performance security appliance is non-negotiable. The 02-SSC-6844 TZ470, part of the renowned TZ Series, stands as a formidable sentinel, blending deep packet inspection, advanced threat prevention, and seamless cloud management into a single, cost-effective solution. Engineered to deliver enterprise-grade protection without enterprise-level complexity, this next-generation firewall (NGFW) is the cornerstone of a modern, secure network architecture.

Capture Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) Sandbox

The cloud-based Capture ATP sandbox employs a unique patent-pending Real-Time Deep Memory Inspection™ (RTDMI) technology. It detonates and analyzes suspicious files in a secure virtual environment, identifying and blocking evasive zero-day threats that traditional signature-based engines miss. This provides critical protection against never-before-seen ransomware and advanced persistent threats (APTs).

Content Filtering Service (CFS)

This service enables IT administrators to enforce internet usage policies by blocking access to inappropriate, non-productive, or high-risk websites across dozens of categories. It integrates with directory services like Active Directory for user-level policy enforcement.

Secure Remote Access VPN and Cloud Security

With the rise of hybrid work, providing secure access to network resources from anywhere is paramount. The TZ470 excels in this domain. Create encrypted IPSec tunnels to connect branch offices securely to headquarters or to public clouds like AWS and Azure. For remote users, the SonicWall Mobile Connect™ client provides a seamless, always-on SSL VPN experience with single sign-on (SSO) capability, delivering a secure tunnel for all user traffic. The 02-SSC-6844 TZ470 extends its security policies to sanctioned cloud applications (like Microsoft 365, Salesforce, Dropbox), helping to prevent data leakage and enforce compliance even for traffic headed directly to the internet (direct internet access or DIA).

SonicWall Firewall Manager & Cloud Management

The TZ470 can be managed through multiple avenues to suit operational preferences. The standalone Firewall Manager software allows for centralized policy management, firmware updates, and real-time monitoring of multiple TZ series appliances from a single console, ideal for organizations with an on-premise IT infrastructure.

SonicWall Cloud Management (Gen 7)

For ultimate flexibility and reduced overhead, the TZ470 is fully compatible with SonicWall's cloud management platform. This allows IT teams to provision, configure, monitor, and troubleshoot firewalls from any location via a web browser. Cloud management simplifies operations, accelerates deployment, and provides a unified view of the security posture across all sites.

Reporting and Analytics

The TZ470 provides comprehensive logging and reporting capabilities. Integrated and optional cloud-based reporting tools transform raw event data into actionable intelligence, showcasing top threats, bandwidth usage, user activity, and compliance status through easy-to-understand dashboards and scheduled reports.

Distributed Enterprise Branch Office

As a headquarters or branch office firewall, the 02-SSC-6844 TZ470 provides localized security, ensures business continuity, and creates secure VPN tunnels back to the data center. Its high throughput supports bandwidth-intensive applications like VoIP and video conferencing.

Remote Workforce Enablement

It acts as a secure gateway for small offices or teleworkers, delivering the full suite of corporate security services to the edge of the network and providing robust SSL VPN access for other remote employees. Beyond security, the TZ470 includes robust networking capabilities for a stable and efficient network foundation.

High Availability (HA) and SD-WAN Readiness

For critical deployments, two 02-SSC-6844 TZ470 appliances can be configured in a state synchronous high-availability pair to eliminate a single point of failure. Furthermore, its SD-WAN capabilities allow for intelligent path selection across multiple WAN connections (e.g., fiber, cable, 4G/5G LTE) based on application requirements, improving performance and reducing bandwidth costs.

Wireless Controller Functionality

The integrated wireless LAN controller capability allows the 02-SSC-6844 TZ470 to centrally manage and secure multiple Sonic Wave access points, simplifying the deployment of a seamless, secure corporate Wi-Fi network. In a crowded market of NGFW solutions, the 02-SSC-6844 TZ470 Total Secure Advanced Essential Edition distinguishes itself through a combination of performance, value, and depth of integration. The bundled Essential Edition subscription provides a superior total cost of ownership (TCO) compared to purchasing services à la carte. The seamless integration of all security functions—from the gateway to the cloud to the sandbox—creates a cohesive security ecosystem that shares threat intelligence in real time. This holistic approach, managed through a single pane of glass, reduces administrative overhead and closes the security gaps inherent in point solution architectures.

Reliability

The appliance features robust, fan less hardware designed for 24/7 operation in varied environments. Its port configuration is tailored for flexible deployment. This edition bundles critical SonicWall security services into one subscription, eliminating the complexity of managing multiple licenses. It provides a layered defense-in-depth strategy that is both proactive and reactive.
