SonicWALL Global Security Client
The SonicWALL Global Security Client combines gateway enforcement, central management,
configuration flexibility and software deployment to deliver comprehensive desktop security for
remote/mobile workers and corporate networks. It offers administrators the capability to manage a
mobile/remote user’s online access, based on corporate policies, to ensure optimal security of the
network and maximize network resources. Instant messaging, high-risk Web sites and network file
access can all be allowed or disallowed as security and productivity concerns dictate. Different
remote/mobile users can be organized into adaptable groups with differing policies at a granular level.
SonicWALL Global Security Client delivers a low-maintenance solution to allow network
administrators to secure mobile users. Residing on the remote user’s system, the Global Security
Client automatically communicates with an organization’s SonicWALL gateway back at the office
when an individual logs in to the network. Prior to allowing network access, the gateway administrator
automatically updates the Global Security Client with the latest security policies and software
updates. No prompting or intervention is necessary by the administrator or the remote user - it’s
completely seamless and transparent.
Global Security Client protection includes the SonicWALL Distributed Security Client and the
SonicWALL Global VPN Client combined with centrally managed security policies via the SonicWALL
Internet Security Appliance and SonicWALL’s industry-leading Distributed Enforcement Architecture
(DEA).
