SonicWall Gateway Anti-Malware, IPS & Application Control – 3-Year Subscription

Protecting your network perimeter is essential in today’s threat landscape, and the SonicWall Gateway Anti-Malware, Intrusion Prevention, and Application Control solution delivers a powerful, integrated defense at the gateway. This 3-year subscription license covers 1 license and is designed for seamless deployment across the SonicWall gateway platforms associated with the SKUs 02-SSC-1717, 02-SSC-3569, 02-SSC-3625, and 02-SSC-8397. With a comprehensive blend of signature-based threat protection, real-time intrusion prevention, and granular application control, this offering helps organizations reduce risk, accelerate incident response, and maintain regulatory compliance. The TAA-compliant license ensures procurement aligns with government and certain enterprise purchasing requirements, making it a practical choice for a wide range of environments, from small branches to SME networks.

• Comprehensive gateway protection that combines three essential security layers. The combination of SonicWall Anti-Malware, Intrusion Prevention, and Application Control creates a multi-layered defense designed to detect and block evolving threats at the network edge. Anti-Malware protects endpoints and traffic before it traverses the network, while IPS analyzes traffic patterns for exploit attempts, and Application Control governs allowed software and services to prevent over-permission and data leakage. This synergy reduces attack surfaces and minimizes the risk of zero-day exploits impacting your users and data. The integrated approach also simplifies management, letting security teams tune and monitor protections from a single console rather than juggling disparate tools.
• Three-year subscription, single license model with clear renewal paths. The package provides a 3-year term for one license, giving you predictable budgeting and long-term protection without frequent renewals. Renewal options maintain continuity of protection, ensuring threat signatures and engines stay current as new threats emerge. For organizations looking to scale security with changing headcount or network footprints, this subscription-centric model aligns with procurement cycles and reduces the administrative overhead associated with perpetual licenses or complex licensing structures.
• Tailored for multiple SonicWall SKUs in a unified security strategy. The licensing covers several SonicWall gateway platforms, specifically 02-SSC-1717, 02-SSC-3569, 02-SSC-3625, and 02-SSC-8397, enabling consistent security policy across devices within the same ecosystem. This uniformity simplifies deployment, policy enforcement, and reporting, especially in distributed networks where consistent protection is critical. Even as your network grows, the 3-year license remains a stable backbone for ongoing security posture, avoiding gaps between devices and ensuring that all gateways operate with the same anti-malware, intrusion prevention, and application control capabilities.
• Blended threat intelligence and policy-driven controls. SonicWall continuously updates threat intelligence to identify emerging attacks, enabling proactive defense. With Application Control, administrators can enforce or block specific applications, control bandwidth usage, and mitigate data exfiltration risks. Intrusion Prevention leverages deep packet inspection and signature-based detection to block exploitation attempts in real time, while Anti-Malware scans ensure known and emerging malware signatures are recognized and neutralized. Together, these features deliver a proactive, adaptive security posture rather than a reactive, signature-only approach.
• Effortless deployment and centralized management for optimized operations. By consolidating protection at the gateway, security teams can manage policies, updates, and reports from a single interface, reducing complexity and accelerating incident response. The license is designed to be straightforward to activate and assign to the applicable gateway devices, with updates rolled out as part of the ongoing protection lifecycle. This streamlined management translates into faster protection for endpoints and users, lower mean time to detect (MTTD) and respond (MTTR), and improved overall security hygiene across your network.

• Key Security Features: Gateway Anti-Malware, Intrusion Prevention, and Application Control. These capabilities work in concert to detect and block malware, prevent exploit techniques, and regulate application usage to protect data and network integrity.
• Intended Use: Enterprise and business networks requiring robust, gateway-level protection with centralized management, scalable policy enforcement, and ongoing threat intelligence updates.

How to install SonicWall Gateway Anti-Malware, Intrusion Prevention and Application Control

• Verify device compatibility and license readiness. Before installation, confirm that your SonicWall gateway supports the specified SKU range and that you have a valid 3-year subscription license for one device. Ensure the gateway has access to required update sources and that system time is synchronized for licensing and signature updates.
• Activate and associate the license. Log in to your SonicWall MySonicWall account or the appropriate management portal and activate the 3-year subscription for the target gateway. Associate the license with the specific device where Anti-Malware, IPS, and Application Control will be enabled.
• Enable protection services on the gateway. In the device management console, turn on Anti-Malware, Intrusion Prevention, and Application Control for the protected interface(s). Review default policies and adapt them to your network posture, compliance requirements, and user behavior.
• Update threat signatures and engines. Apply the latest threat signatures, engines, and policy packs associated with the license to ensure you’re protected against current and emerging threats. Schedule automatic updates if available to maintain protection without manual intervention.
• Configure policies and monitor performance. Define application controls to restrict or allow essential software and services, set IPS signatures appropriate for your traffic profiles, and tailor anti-malware scanning to balance security with performance. After deployment, monitor events and alerts through the management console, adjust thresholds as needed, and run periodic validation tests to confirm protection is active and effective.
