How to install SonicWall Capture Advanced Threat Protection Service

Installation and activation of the SonicWall Capture ATP service are designed to be straightforward within the SonicWall ecosystem. Begin in the SonicWall management console by navigating to the licensing or services section. Select the appropriate ATP SKU corresponding to your device (02-SSC-4326, 02-SSC-7368, 02-SSC-8718, or 02-SSC-8719) and assign the 1-license-per-device subscription to the targeted appliance. Ensure the device can reach the SonicWall Capture cloud services and that your firmware is on a supported release to enable ATP features. After provisioning, enable the Capture ATP policy within your security settings to route suspicious files and URLs to the sandbox for detonation. Confirm that your detection thresholds, alerting, and action rules align with your security posture, so the system can automatically block, quarantine, or sandbox content as configured.

Operational considerations include verifying device connectivity to the cloud, validating that routing and DNS policies allow ATP traffic, and coordinating ATP with other SonicWall protections such as intrusion prevention, secure VPN, and secure SD-WAN. Because ATP relies on cloud-based detonation, you benefit from continuous threat intelligence updates and scalable analysis without the need for on-premises hardware upgrades. For organizations in government or regulated sectors, maintain the relevant procurement records showing a 2-year term and 1 license per device to support audits and compliance reviews. Regularly review ATP's reports and detonation summaries to fine-tune policies and improve overall security posture over time.

Tip: Plan a phased rollout by applying ATP to a subset of devices initially to validate policy effectiveness, then expand deployment while monitoring key metrics such as malware block rate, detonation outcomes, and false-positive incidence. This approach helps you maximize ROI from the ATP service while maintaining operational continuity.

Frequently asked questions

Q: What is SonicWall Capture ATP?
A: SonicWall Capture Advanced Threat Protection is a cloud-based sandboxing service that analyzes and detonates suspicious files and URLs to determine their maliciousness. It provides real-time threat intelligence, enabling enforcement of protective policies on compatible SonicWall appliances to block zero-day threats before they reach users or endpoints.

Q: How long does the license last?
A: This listing covers a 2-year (biannual) subscription license per device, with 1 license allocated to each eligible SonicWall appliance. Renewal options are available to maintain continuous protection beyond the initial term.

Q: Which devices are supported?
A: The ATP service is designed for compatibility with the SonicWall appliances represented by the SKUs 02-SSC-4326, 02-SSC-7368, 02-SSC-8718, and 02-SSC-8719. Activation and policy enforcement occur through the SonicWall management console for those supported devices.

Q: How does ATP protect my network?
A: ATP uses cloud-based sandboxing to detonate and analyze files and URLs in a controlled environment, delivering verdicts that drive protections such as blocking, quarantining, or sandboxing. It complements on-site firewall and intrusion prevention capabilities by adding depth to malware detection and zero-day threat identification, helping to reduce dwell time for attackers.

Q: Do I need any special hardware to use ATP?
A: ATP is a cloud-delivered service that integrates with compatible SonicWall appliances. While no new on-premises hardware is required for ATP itself, you must have a SonicWall device capable of supporting ATP and a valid 2-year license assigned to that device.

Q: Is ATP suitable for government and regulated environments?
A: Yes. The license is described as TAA compliant, making it appropriate for procurement in government and regulated sectors, provided all other compliance requirements are met. Ensure your procurement documents reflect the 2-year term and 1 license-per-device arrangement to satisfy audits.

Q: How do I manage ATP once it’s activated?
A: You manage ATP through the SonicWall management console, where you can configure policies, monitor detonation results, review threat intelligence updates, and adjust alerting and response actions. Regular monitoring helps you respond promptly to evolving threats and optimize protection.

Q: Can ATP protect against all threats?
A: ATP significantly strengthens protection by focusing on advanced, zero-day, and evasive threats that might evade traditional signature-based defenses. While no security solution is 100% infallible, ATP provides a crucial layer of proactive defense that reduces risk and improves threat detection and response across your network.
