Dell Security announces the new SonicOS 6.2.5, which is now available for Dell SonicWALL SuperMassive, NSA and TZ Series firewalls. This new firmware enhances security to Dell switches, wireless access points and firewalls by consolidating the management of the converged network infrastructure.  The release also significantly advances capabilities associated with inspecting encrypted traffic, a major threat vector in today’s malware economy, and meets strict certification requirements of the US Department of Defense.

SonicOS 6.2.5 simplifies support for Dell Security partners by providing one version of firmware to handle the majority of Dell SonicWALL products. The new SonicOS also increases connection counts on encrypted HTTPS sessions, enabling stronger encryption support and expanding government certification for high security applications.

“The life of a security officer in any sized organisation is not easy, no matter what the industry. With the introduction of SonicOS 6.2.5, Dell Security has made strides to make their lives easier,” says Han Chon, director, Security and Endpoint Systems Management, Dell Asia Pacific & Japan.

“The new OS has features designed to enable a converged infrastructure across switching, wireless, and security, allowing organisations to do more with less and reduce the complexity of network management. This is yet another innovative offering we deliver to help our customers navigate today’s rising threat landscape, keep their network secure and workforce productive.”
