Dell, a leading provider of connected security offerings,
announced today that its Dell SonicWALL™ SuperMassive™ E10800
Next-Generation Firewall running SonicOS 6.0 has earned the highest
rating of ‘Recommend’ from NSS Labs, which provides independent
validation for IT administrators who seek the best performing
security required for their modern corporate network and deployment
scenarios. To achieve this ranking, SuperMassive excelled in one of
the industry’s most comprehensive, real-world tests of Next-Gen
Firewalls and secured a leading position in NSS Labs’ Security
Value Map for the second consecutive year.
The SuperMassive demonstrated one of the highest security
effectiveness ratings and scored 100 percent in the stability and
reliability, firewall, application control, and identity awareness
tests. Resistance to known evasion, obfuscation and fragmentation
techniques was also perfect, with the Dell SonicWALL Next-Gen
Firewall achieving a 100 percent score across the board in all
related tests. The SuperMassive E10800 was tested and rated by NSS
Labs at 16.6 Gbps of Next-Gen Firewall throughput, and was able to
scale into multi-gigabit throughput in the computationally
expensive SSL decryption tests while maintaining extremely
competitive TCO.
NSS Labs analysis states, “a Next-Gen Firewall must provide
granular control based upon applications, not just ports. This
capability is needed to re-establish a secure perimeter where
unwanted applications are unable to tunnel over HTTP/S. As such,
granular application control is a requirement of Next-Gen Firewalls
since it enables the administrator to define security policies
based upon applications rather than ports alone.” The SuperMassive
E10800 earned scores of 100 percent for ‘Block Unwanted
Applications’ and for ‘Block Specific Action.’ NSS Labs testing
found that the Dell SonicWALL SuperMassive E10800 correctly
enforced complex outbound and inbound policies consisting of
multiple rules, objects and applications. SuperMassive is capable
of enforcing application control on every port, including
non-standard ports for a particular application.
According the NSS Labs Next-Generation Firewall Product
Analysis, “Resistance to known evasion techniques was perfect, with
the Dell SonicWALL SuperMassive E10800 SonicOS 6.0 achieving a 100
percent score across the board in all related tests. IP
fragmentation, TCP stream segmentation, RPC fragmentation, URL
obfuscation, HTML Evasion and FTP evasion all failed to trick the
product into ignoring valid attacks.”
"Customers can benefit greatly by having access to the rigorous,
highly technical, independent testing done by NSS Labs,” said
Patrick Sweeney, executive director network security, Dell Software
Group. “I’m proud that such testing has validated the extreme high
quality and performance characteristics of the SuperMassive E10800
for enterprise and data center environments.”
