SonicWALL Internet security , a leader in providing network security to infrastructure company, has been awarded the contract to install SonicWall Clean VPN to Northwoods Commnity Church, a member of the Fellowship of Evangelical Churches. The system will be combined to SonicWall SSL-VPN 2000 secure remote access appliance with a SonicWall E-Class NSA E5500 network security appliance.

Jason Lee, Northwood’s IT Director said the church has several staff who travels frequently and are in constant need to access data from their servers. “Even though they are trusted connections, we want to be sure we still have a line of protection at our perimeter. Having a secure and attack-free remote access is crucial to our operations.”

Northwoods’ E5500 firewall scans both inbound and outbound SSL VPN traffic using Gateway Antivirus, Anti-Spyware and Intrusion Prevention services.

As a nonprofit organization, Northwoods is especially sensitive to value.

“We have limited resources, but our expectations are no different than a Fortune 500 company, and that’s to utilize the best technology we can afford to help our team succeed,” said Lee. “SonicWALL gives us security and performance that might be out of our budget’s reach from a Cisco or Juniper.”

By selecting SonicWALL Internet security’s E-Class, Lee freed up budget for other initiatives. And using Unified Threat Management instead of separate services and servers from different vendors has lowered his costs, and eased budgeting and planning.

Lee said the Church is also planning to expand SonicWall’s Clean Wireless implementation.

According to Lee, the Church has installed 13 SonicPoints to provide Internet security used across the school. “We apply Gateway Antivirus, Anti-Spyware and Intrusion Prevention services, as well as Content Filtering, to all inbound and outbound traffic on our wireless network.”

Sonic.a leader in network infrastructure security, has launched a new software that provides security against threat of these so-called SSL Certificate Null Byte Poisoning vulnerabiltiy. Users of the SonicWall Internet security’s  Unified Threat Management Firewall technology, which protects against viruses, Trojans, worms and other threats and vulnerabilities, automatically receive updated signatures designed to repel security threats.

Various browser and non-browser based SSL implementations will be vulnerable for hijacking as your computer is incapable of defending itself from attacks. It will be easier for attackers to enter your system because your computer will not be able to recognize if your Internet connection has been tapped by a third third party using null byte stuffed cerfitificate which resembles the origin content server.

Your computer is also vulnerable to attacks from other viruses, including trohans and malwares as the attacker can exploit your computer’s weakness aside from compromised SSL session.

The BlackHat security first publicized the problem during the July 29-30, 2009 security conference held in Las Vegas. On July 31, 2009, users of SonicWALL internet security’s Unified Threat Management technology received updated signatures designed to protect against this threat. SonicWALL has issued the following IPS signature

SonicWALL has developed unique technologies to deliver zero day gateway anti-virus, anti-spyware and intrusion prevention signatures to its subscribers on a continual basis, allowing them to defend against new and existing Internet attacks and exploits such as phishing, viruses, DHA or DoS attacks and more. Customers with a current subscription to SonicWALL’s gateway threat prevention services are not affected by this vulnerability.

SonicWall. the leader in network security, focuses on developing solutions that remove the cost and complexity out of managing a secure network environment. With over one million award-winning appliances shipped through its global network of ten thousand channel partners, SonicWALL Internet security provides end-to-end solutions including Firewalls, SSL VPN’s, Email Security and Continuoinous Data Protection that collectively ensure robust, secure network protection.
