Protect your network perimeter with a comprehensive security subscription that combines industry-leading anti-malware, robust intrusion prevention, and precise application control. The SonicWall Gateway Anti-Malware, Intrusion Prevention and Application Control license is designed specifically for the 02-SSC family devices (02-SSC-2825, 02-SSC-6443, 02-SSC-6817, 02-SSC-6819, 02-SSC-7281) and provides a three-year window of up-to-date protection. This is more than just malware scanning—it’s a layered security service that helps you stop threats at the edge, minimize risk, and maintain network performance and user productivity. With a single license that covers a three-year term, organizations can simplify budgeting while ensuring continuous coverage against evolving cyber threats.

• All-in-One Threat Defense: This subscription combines three critical security capabilities—Anti-Malware to detect and block known and emerging malware, Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) to identify and block exploit attempts and known vulnerability exploits, and Application Control to enforce allowed apps and limit risky or unwanted software. Together, these features provide a multi-layered defense that reduces the likelihood of a breach.
• Three-Year Security Coverage: The license is valid for three years, delivering ongoing access to the latest threat intelligence, signature updates, and policy enforcement capabilities. The extended term minimizes renewal friction and helps IT teams plan security investments with predictability and control.
• Designed for Popular SonicWall Gateways: Optimized for deployment on the 02-SSC-2825, 02-SSC-6443, 02-SSC-6817, 02-SSC-6819, and 02-SSC-7281 security appliances, ensuring compatibility with existing hardware investments and streamlined activation through the SonicWall licensing process.
• TAA-Compliant for Regulated Environments: This license meets Trade Agreements Act (TAA) requirements, making it suitable for government agencies, defense contractors, and other regulated industries that require compliant procurement and software licensing.
• Policy-Driven Security with Application Control: Beyond malware and exploit protection, Application Control gives administrators the power to enforce policy around application usage. This helps balance security with end-user productivity by blocking or allowing specific applications, reducing the attack surface without unnecessary friction for legitimate business tools.

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

• Verify Compatibility: Confirm that your security appliance is one of the supported models (02-SSC-2825, 02-SSC-6443, 02-SSC-6817, 02-SSC-6819, or 02-SSC-7281). Ensure the device is online and reachable for licensing and configuration.
• Obtain License Entitlement: Access the SonicWall licensing portal using your organization’s account. Retrieve the license key or entitlement tied to your 3-year subscription for the 1-license package. If you don’t already have a SonicWall account, create one and register the device’s serial number as required by the portal.
• Activate the License: Log in to the SonicWall management interface for your gateway. Navigate to the Licensing or Cloud/SaaS section, choose Add License or Activate, and enter the entitlement key or upload the license file. Confirm activation and allow the system to process the license provisioning.
• Enable Core Security Modules: Once the license is active, enable Anti-Malware, IPS, and Application Control within the Security Services or Threat Protection page of the device’s management console. Ensure that each module is turned on and set to a baseline policy appropriate for your network.
• Configure Signatures and Policies: Update malware signatures and IPS definitions to the latest versions. Create or adapt security policies to align with your organization’s risk posture—define which applications are allowed, which ports are monitored, and which types of traffic require deeper inspection, including SSL/TLS for encrypted connections where appropriate.
• Test and Monitor: Run a controlled test to verify that malware signatures, IPS rules, and application controls are functioning correctly. Monitor dashboards for threat detections, block events, and policy enforcement results. Adjust thresholds and exceptions as needed to minimize false positives while preserving protection.
• Document and Maintain: Record the license details, activation date, and policy configurations for compliance and audit purposes. Establish a renewal reminder as the 3-year term approaches to ensure uninterrupted protection.
