Sonicwall Launches First Sub-$500 Deep Inspection Wireless Anti-Virus Firewall

TZ 150 Wireless provides protection for mobile workers on the wireless LAN

SUNNYVALE, CALIF. March 14, 2005 SonicWALL, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNWL) today introduced the SonicWALL TZ 150 Wireless, a dynamic security appliance designed expressly for small businesses and home offices, which integrates secure 802.11b/g wireless and a deep packet inspection firewall in an easy-to-use, low cost platform. The TZ 150 Wireless is the first sub-$500 wireless firewall capable of scanning both wired and wireless traffic at the gateway for viruses, spyware and application-level attacks.
The small business segment offers the highest wireless market growth opportunity for wireless, according to a November 2004 study by Infonetics Research, but security remains a significant barrier to widespread adoption of wireless LANs. To compound the problem, mobile workers are particularly vulnerable to viruses, worms and spyware - estimated by the 2004 CSI/FBI Computer Crime and Security Survey to be the most costly of current security threats - because of their use of unprotected hotspots and hotels.

Hotel Booking The TZ 150 Wireless is a targeted offering for small businesses and Im excited about the opportunities it creates, said Chisholm Wildermuth of dbWebnet, a SonicWALL Silver partner specializing in small and medium business deployments. It fills an unmet need in the market because its a comprehensive but very affordable solution to the inherent security risks of wireless. Every computer user will potentially suffer from virus and spyware problems, so it is extremely important that the TZ 150 Wireless supports SonicWALLs gateway protection services. SonicWALLs Gateway Anti-Virus, Anti-Spyware and Intrusion Prevention services gives them an edge over competitive offerings.
