SonicWall Capture Advanced Threat Protection Service — 1 License, 2-Year Subscription (TAA Compliant)

Protect your network from the latest cyber threats with SonicWall Capture Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) Service. This cloud-based sandboxing and threat analysis solution is designed to work in tandem with SonicWall’s firewall and security ecosystem, delivering proactive detection of zero-day exploits, malware, and suspicious file behavior before they reach end users. With a 2-year subscription for a single license, organizations gain predictable budgeting, ongoing protection, and access to up-to-date threat intelligence as part of aTA A-compliant procurement path. This service is ideal for businesses seeking to strengthen their defense-in-depth strategy without the need for complex on-premise sandbox infrastructure.

• Cloud-based sandboxing for advanced threat detection. Capture ATP analyzes suspicious files in a secure, isolated environment, exposing malicious behavior that traditional antivirus and signature-based tools can miss. By observing how files interact with an execution environment, it uncovers zero-day malware, fileless attacks, and exploit chains that could otherwise slip through defenses. The cloud-based nature means you don’t need to deploy and maintain additional hardware—just enable the service and leverage updated threat intelligence from SonicWall’s centralized pipeline.
• One license, two-year protection cycle. This offering is a subscription license configured for 1 license over a 2-year period, providing long-term continuity and budget predictability. The extended term helps organizations plan security investments with confidence and reduces the risk of accidental lapses in protection. As threats evolve, your ATP service stays current through automatic updates, ensuring ongoing effectiveness without manual requalification or frequent renewals.
• TA A-compliant procurement for government and enterprise use. The service is described as TAA-compliant, making it suitable for government procurement and other regulated environments where compliance and traceability are paramount. With TA A alignment, buyers can streamline purchasing workflows and demonstrate adherence to applicable trade and procurement requirements while still benefiting from state-of-the-art threat protection.
• Seamless integration with the SonicWall ecosystem. Capture ATP is designed to mesh with SonicWall firewalls and security services, enabling streamlined deployment and policy-based controls. Integration means administrators can apply consistent security policies across the network perimeter, correlate ATP findings with other SonicWall telemetry, and centralize reporting. This cohesion reduces complexity and improves the accuracy of alerts and remediation actions across devices.
• Comprehensive protection across multiple attack surfaces. The service protects not only file transfers and attachments but also web and email channels when paired with compatible SonicWall solutions. By analyzing files before they reach endpoints, ATP helps reduce exposure to drive-by downloads, phishing attachments, and suspicious payloads. Enhanced visibility and reporting give security teams deeper insights into attack patterns, enabling faster response and proactive hardening of defenses.

How to Install SonicWall Capture Advanced Threat Protection Service

• Prepare your SonicWall environment. Ensure your SonicWall device or management console is up to date with the latest firmware and that you have an active MySonicWall account. Confirm network connectivity to the SonicWall cloud services and verify that you have the appropriate permissions to modify licensing and security policies.
• Activate the license key. In your MySonicWall portal, locate the license management area and enter or paste the 1-license, 2-year ATP subscription key provided at purchase. Complete any necessary validation steps and confirm activation. This will provision the Capture ATP service within your account and associate it with your licensed devices.
• Link ATP to your security devices. Within the SonicWall management interface, navigate to the ATP or threat protection configuration section and attach the activated ATP license to the relevant firewall(s) or security gateway. Follow the on-screen prompts to enable cloud-based threat analysis and ensure the ATP service is selected as part of your threat protection policy.
• Configure analysis policies. Define the scope of analysis, including file types, email attachments, and web content that should be routed to the Capture ATP sandbox. Establish reporting preferences, such as alert thresholds, notification recipients, and integration with SIEM or logging systems if desired. Fine-tuning policies helps minimize false positives while maximizing detection accuracy.
• Test and validate protection. Conduct a controlled test by sending benign and known-malicious samples through the configured channels to verify that ATP captures, analyzes, and reports results correctly. Review sandbox reports to understand detected behaviors and to refine firewall rules, allowlists, and remediation workflows accordingly.
• Monitor, renew, and maintain. Regularly monitor ATP dashboards for risk trends, detected threats, and policy effectiveness. Track the license term and renewal dates to ensure uninterrupted protection. Keep the associated devices and software up to date, and periodically review configuration settings to adapt to evolving threat landscapes.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What exactly is SonicWall Capture ATP? A: Capture ATP is a cloud-based threat analysis service that uses sandboxing to execute and observe suspicious files in an isolated environment. By watching how a file behaves in a controlled sandbox, ATP detects malware, exploits, and detonation of malicious payloads that may not be detectable by traditional signature-based solutions.
• Q: How long does the license last? A: The license is a 2-year subscription for 1 license, providing extended coverage and predictable budgeting over the term. Renewals can be managed through your MySonicWall account to ensure continuous protection.
• Q: Is this product suitable for government procurement? A: Yes. The service is described as TA A compliant, enabling procurement through channels that require compliance with the Trade Agreement Act, which is commonly needed for government purchases and enterprise compliance standards.
• Q: Can ATP protect email and web traffic? A: ATP works in tandem with SonicWall’s security stack, including platforms that manage email and web traffic. When properly configured, it can analyze and block malicious attachments or exploit-laden payloads in these channels, reducing the risk of infection as files enter the network.
• Q: How do I implement ATP with my existing SonicWall devices? A: After activating the license, attach the ATP service to your firewall or security gateway through the management console. Configure analysis policies, enable reporting, and integrate with your existing security workflows. Regular monitoring and policy tuning help maintain optimal protection levels.
• Q: What kind of reporting will I see? A: ATP provides detailed sandbox reports that describe detected behaviors, indicators of compromise, and recommended remediation steps. Logs and events can be correlated with other security telemetry to support incident response and post-event analysis.
