Network Security Solutions
SonicWALL has compiled a collection of white papers that
demonstrate how a diverse selection of industries have utilized the SonicWALL
network security products we market. These papers take a broad perspective and
examine how the underlying technologies are leveraged. The papers are
organized by industry segment or application. The paper are continually
updated and the collection expanded as SonicWALL makes more examples
available.
Financial Services
Online banking and financial services have seen a boom in
recent years. Online financial services companies have a need for a solution
that delivers security, performance and reliability across every point of the
Internet connection to protect customer transactions.
Healthcare
As more and more medical information is converted
into electronic format and networks connect to the Internet, systems become
increasingly vulnerable to unauthorized users. Healthcare providers now face
the challenge of securing information and maintaining strict levels of patient
confidentiality while still allowing easy access to authorized users.
Network Resources
Today's enterprise is increasingly becoming a
distributed workplace made up of branch offices, telecommuters, after-hours
workers, contractors, business partners, and mobile workers. As a result, the
enterprise network is going through a transformation from a closed, protected
architecture to an open, Internet-based system that is vulnerable to a variety
of security attacks.
Retail and POS
For multi-store retail outlets, including grocery,
hospitality, and gas and convenience stores, secure transmission of customer
and transaction data from remote to central sites has become a strategic
challenge . Retailers depend on network connectivity to access time-critical
data such as point of sale (POS), inventory, sales history, taxation
summaries, and customer credit card information. Therefore, the solution must
deliver high performance, security, "always on" reliability, and low cost of
ownership.
Telecommuters
This solution scenario focuses on a telecommuting solution
to address the needs of a company with telecommuters that work out of their
homes without access to office space. However, the solution is equally
applicable to teleworkers who occasionally access the corporate network from
home.
