Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
Dell SonicWALL's TZ Series is a high performance security platform that combines a deep packet inspection firewall, anti-virus, anti-spyware, intrusion prevention, content filtering, optional modular modem backup, and optional 802.11 b/g WLAN. These solutions allow small, remote, and branch offices to implement protection from the wide spectrum of emerging network threats.
