Details
Understanding Stateful Packet Inspection
Understanding the difference between stateful and deep packet filtering is critical when it comes to securing your network. Consider the security you face at an airport. When an airport official compares your boarding pass to your identification, they are determining if you should be allowed to pass into the boarding area. This is quite similar to stateful packet inspection, the firewall checks to see if data packets were requested and should be allowed into the company’s network. Given many threats can be viruses which originate from within the company’s e-mail service, this level of protection is easily by-passed.
Understanding Deep Packet Inspection
Deep packet inspection can be understood by building on the airport analogy. In the airport, as you pass through security you not only have to show your boarding pass, but also your bag is scanned to determine if it contains dangerous articles. This extra step helps to not only establish that you belong on the plane, but also that the contents you are bringing aboard are safe and approved. This bag scanning is quite similar to deep packet inspection. SonicWALL TZ and PRO products utilize a deep packet inspection engine to match downloaded, e-mailed and compressed files against an extensive and continuously updated database of signatures written by the SonicWALL SonicALERT team and third party sources. This comparison provides intelligent, real-time network security protection against sophisticated application layer and content-based attacks.
SonicWALL Offers the Complete Solution for Your Network
