Security Services

The security services page provides fleet-wide visibility into the security features enabled on your managed firewalls.

What You Can See

SonicWall firewalls offer a range of built-in security services. This page shows the status of each service across your entire fleet:

• Intrusion Prevention (IPS) — network-based threat detection and prevention
• Gateway Antivirus — malware scanning at the network perimeter
• Anti-Spyware — spyware and adware detection
• Content Filtering — web content category blocking
• App Control — application-level traffic control
• Geo-IP Filtering — country-based traffic blocking
• Botnet Filtering — known botnet communication blocking
• Cloud Backup — SonicWall cloud-based configuration backup
• ATP (Advanced Threat Protection) — sandboxing and advanced malware analysis

Fleet-Wide View

Rather than checking security services device by device, this page aggregates the status across your fleet. You can quickly identify:

• Devices with critical security services disabled
• Inconsistent security configurations across similar devices
• Services that are licensed but not enabled
• Coverage gaps in your security posture

Policy Integration

Security service requirements can be defined as policies. When you set a policy requiring specific services to be enabled, non-compliant devices are flagged in the Compliance Checking dashboard.
