policies and software updates. No prompting or intervention is necessary by the administrator

SonicWALL Global VPN Client Enterprise combined with centrally managed security policies
via the SonicWALL Internet Security Appliance and SonicWALL’s industry-leading Distributed
Enforcement Architecture (DEA).

Global Security Client Features
• Multi-Pronged Protection - extends the boundaries of security by protecting the
corporate network and remote/mobile workers from malicious attacks that occur over the
Internet.
• Enhanced Application Security - provides an additional layer of security by protecting
organizations against legal liabilities that occur when employees accidentally or
intentionally run applications from the Internet that have been designated as “untrusted” by
the network administrator.
• Policy Management - enables network administrator’s to create, distribute and manage
global security policies for remote and mobile users from a central location. Once a new
policy is created, it is seamlessly distributed to every system on the network with no
end-user interaction required. Configuration options include specifying the minimum
application version, policy levels and behavior for clients not in compliance.
• Gateway Enforcement - enforces security policies at the gateway to ensure the
end-user’s system is in compliance before being granted access to the network. Users
without the Global Security Client installed on their systems must contact their
administrator.
• Scalable Architecture - features a unique client/gateway enforcement architecture that
delivers comprehensive security, scaling from the individual telecommuters and mobile
users up to larger, more diverse deployments with a worldwide mobile workforce.
• Low Total Cost of Ownership - addresses the needs of organizations looking to deploy
comprehensive desktop security to remote/mobile workers and corporate networks while
delivering a lower total cost of ownership through automated policy enforcement and
software distribution at the gateway.
• Easy-to-Use Local Interface - includes an intuitive user interface that seamlessly
integrates multiple applications and presents the administrator with a status page and
optional configuration functionality, offering enhanced ease of use.
• Application Reporting - includes application reporting to provide network administrators
with data on the status of the application, as well as the ability to monitor for unusual
activities and perform troubleshooting.
• Multi-Pronged Protection - extends the boundaries of security by protecting the
corporate network and remote/mobile workers from malicious attacks that occur over the
Internet.
