Fororganizations embarking on a cloud migration journey, SMA offers a single sign-on (SSO) infrastructure that uses a single web portal to authenticate users in a hybrid IT environment. Whether the corporate resource is on-premise, on the web or in a hosted cloud, the access experience is consistent and seamless. SMA also integrates with industry leading multi-factor authentication technologies for added security.

SMA provides comprehensive end-to-end secure remote access to corporate resources hosted across on-prem, cloud and hybrid datacenters. It applies identity-based, policy enforced access controls, context-aware device authentication, and application level VPN to grant access to data, resources and applications after establishing user and device identity, location and trust. Flexibly deployed as a hardened Linux appliance or virtual appliance in private clouds on ESXi or Hyper-V, or in AWS or Microsoft Azure public cloud environments.

SonicWall SMA can be deployed as a hardened, highperformance appliance or as a virtual appliance leveraging shared computing resources to optimize utilization, ease migration and reduce capital costs. The hardware appliances are built on a multi-core architecture that offers high performance with SSL acceleration, VPN throughput and powerful proxies to deliver robust secure access. For regulated and federal organizations, SMA is also available with FIPS 140-2 Level 2 certification. The SMA virtual appliances offer the same robust secure access capabilities on major virtual or cloud platforms including Microsoft Hyper-V, VMware ESX, and AWS.

Administrators grant or deny access based on organizational policies and set remediation actions when quarantining sessions. ACE object-based policy utilizes elements of network, resource, identity, device, application, data and time.

Stop unknown, zero-day attacks such as ransomware at the gateway with automated remediation. Files uploaded using unmanaged endpoints with secure access to corporate networks are inspected by our cloud based multi-engine Capture ATP.

Real-time output to central SIEM data collectors allows security teams to correlate event driven activities, to understand the end-to-end workflow of a particular user or application. This is critical during security incident management and forensic analysis.
