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.

“We have users traveling and working remotely needing access to our servers and data,” said Jason Lee, Northwoods’ IT Director. “Although we are sure our network can be trusted, we still want to be assured with the knowledge that we are not vulnerable from outside attacks. Providing clean and secure remote access to our networks offers a huge value to us.”

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 admit that our resources are scarce therefore we have to maximize its use to help us succeed in our endevours by using the most advanced, yet cost-effective technology availalable. “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 they were satisifed with SonicWall’s services that they are planning of expanding the implementation of the firm’s Clean Wireless system.

So far, Lee said the campus has installed at least 13 SonicPointes to provide Internet security around the church. “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.”
