SonicWALL Global Management System 2.2
Distributed offices and fast bandwidth have pushed the corporate network perimeter out into the Internet and into employee's homes. Your company's security policy might require the use of hardware devices such as broadband routers, personal firewalls, or host-based firewall software to protect remote portals into your corporate network. Some proactive companies even specify or purchase these security measures for employees. However, many employees don't realize the importance of properly configuring and maintaining these security devices.
Most firewall vendors offer software to remotely maintain, monitor, and manage distributed firewalls. SonicWALL's Global Management System (GMS) Standard Edition 2.2 differs from the competition because it lets you centrally manage any SonicWALL security applianceĀfrom the company's enterprise-class firewall to its entry-level TELE3 firewall, which SonicWALL markets to telecommuters.
