Security software

SonicWall Global Security

IT Secure brings the SonicWall Global Security client (GSC), an integrated desktop firewall and VPN client solution, to India. The GSC extends corporate security to the mobile desktop by providing security for data transmissions and email, and robust monitoring, management capabilities.

Residing on the mobile user's system, the Global Security Client automatically updates the client with the latest security policy. So, all policies can be centrally implemented. It then communicates with a company's SonicWall gateway, at headquarters, each time the individual logs on to the network. Therefore, no prompting or human intervention is necessary--the process is completely seamless.

The desktop firewall component of the GSC provides security to the laptop any time it is logged on to the Internet. Hence all data on the system is protected. Besides, when connected to corporate HQ via VPN, the GSC blocks hackers from penetrating the corporate network via the remote VPN connection.

The SonicWall Global Security Client provides an additional layer of security by protecting businesses against accidentally or intentionally running applications from the Internet that are designated as “untrusted” by the network administrator.

The SGS works in conjunction with a Sonicwall range of firewalls also available now.
