Moreover, it\u2019s optimized for faster and more efficient traffic analysis.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On top of that, intrusion prevention works to identify the real threats to your network before they become a serious problem. I can\u2019t forget about behavioral analysis here, as this is what helps distinguish legitimate traffic from any kind of malicious activity on the network. Between the help of DPI and IPS systems, you\u2019re better equipped to avoid performance strain too.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-da59707 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"da59707\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Faster Packet Processing and Reduced Latency\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4b439be elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4b439be\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another important angle to SonicWall\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.firewalls.com\/blog\/sonicwall-gen-8-firewalls\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gen 8 includes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> reduced delays in how traffic moves through inspection layers.
