SonicWALL Delivers Clean VPN for Community Church

SonicWALL Internet security , a major provider of network security, will be providing SonicWall Clean VPN to Northwoods Community Church in Peoria, Illinois for its infrastracture security. The company will combine SonicWall’s SSL-VPN 2000 secure remote access appliance with a SonicWall E-Class NSA E5500 network security appliance.

Northwood’s IT Director Jason Lee explained the need for secure network as the church has several staff who frequenty travel and need constant access to data from their servers. “Knowing that our network is safe and secure and invulnerable from outside attacks, will enable us to sleep soundly at night. Having a secure and attack-free remote access is crucial to our operations.”

Northwoods’ E5500 firewall scans both inbound and outbound SSL VPN traffic using Gateway Antivirus, Anti-Spyware and Intrusion Prevention services.

As a nonprofit organization, Northwoods is especially sensitive to value.

Lee said that despite the organization’s little amount of resources, it wants to have the most advanced technology, yet affordable that is available in the market to ensure the growth of the organization. “SonicWALL gives us security and performance that might be out of our budget’s reach from a Cisco or Juniper.”

By selecting SonicWALL Internet security’s E-Class, Lee freed up budget for other initiatives. And using Unified Threat Management instead of separate services and servers from different vendors has lowered his costs, and eased budgeting and planning.

Lee said the Church is also planning to expand SonicWall’s Clean Wireless implementation.

So far, Lee said the campus has installed at least 13 SonicPointes to provide Internet security around the church. “We apply Gateway Antivirus, Anti-Spyware and Intrusion Prevention services, as well as Content Filtering, to all inbound and outbound traffic on our wireless network.”
