For example, the new SonicWall TZ380 includes Gen 8 tech, zero-touch deployment, and a surprising range of advanced protections.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The newest TZ firewalls are built with the future of network security in mind. You can see this in specific features like Cloud Secure Edge Connector support, higher port density, high connection counts, real-time visualization, and the list goes on.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to that, TZ firewalls stop ransomware and encrypted threats by scanning the entirety of all inbound and outbound traffic across multiple security processors. This is made possible with Reassembly-Free Deep Packet Inspection (RFDPI), a staple in the TZ series. Below, you can find a few more specific details that make the Gen 8 TZ firewalls such a great choice for small network security demands.<\/span><\/p><p><b>SonicOS Gen 8 highlights from TZ hardware firewalls:<\/b><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Combines firewall, switching, and wireless capabilities into a single device<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zero-touch deployment supports rapid, simultaneous rollout of multiple devices with ease<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Supports TLS 1.3, SD-WAN, real-time visualization, and leverages Capture ATP with RTDMI for advanced security and threat detection<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High port density offers substantial support for scaling businesses, including the ability to support multiple PoE devices\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cloud Secure Edge Connector provides adaptive access to applications regardless of location or endpoint<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Considering things like throughput, VPN, and user limitations are important as well.
