Connection filtering
Define required traffic between your network and external services before configuring SonicWall, with readable rules, justified exceptions and checks using the applications your teams rely on during their normal working day.

Define the traffic the firewall must control.
A SonicWall firewall can control communications between the internet, internal networks and remote connections. For an SME in French-speaking Switzerland, the project starts with applications to make accessible and equipment to isolate. We record employee connections, site links and necessary published services. This enables justified rules, rather than accumulating openings whose purpose has been forgotten. Cybersecurity connects these rules with the company's other protections.
Security services
Compare the services available for your SonicWall appliance with the risks being addressed, then confirm subscriptions and prerequisites before enabling functions that will subsequently need someone to monitor and maintain them.
Remote access
Prepare SonicWall remote connections around authorised users and required resources, checking model capabilities, possible licensing requirements and access removal procedures before allowing people to reach business systems from outside the office.
Central administration
Review Network Security Manager for the SonicWall equipment involved, then define permissions, site visibility and approval responsibilities before centralising configuration changes that could affect several locations or important business connections simultaneously.
Logs and alerts
Select SonicWall events useful for detection and troubleshooting, plan how they will be reviewed and name an owner, so that significant alerts lead to appropriate action rather than simply accumulating unread.
Controlled updates
Prepare SonicWall updates with a retained configuration, an agreed maintenance window and recovery checks, considering the connections and applications that depend on the firewall and the staff needed to validate them.
How we support you.
From initial scoping to ongoing support, the agreed work and each party’s responsibilities are defined with you before implementation.
Network review and mapping
Identify sites, equipment, traffic and dependencies before defining priorities.
Deployment and configuration
Prepare changes, test configurations and organise commissioning.
Wi-Fi and coverage
Assess usage, coverage areas and mobility needs. The required measurements are agreed during scoping.
Security and segmentation
Separate uses, restrict traffic and define access rules with the people responsible.
Monitoring and maintenance
Agree monitoring checks, updates and incident-handling arrangements.
Support and development
Document the network and plan its next developments with your teams.
Solutions suited to your sector.
We start with your teams’ needs, business applications and organisational constraints.
Professional services
Share client files between colleagues, with appropriate access and documents that are easy to find.
Commerce & retail
Keep tills and connections working, including across multiple shops.
Healthcare & medical
Protect patient records and maintain the tools needed for consultations.
Industry & manufacturing
Connect the office and the workshop, secure equipment and prepare for recovery after an incident.
A well-managed environment.
Tools alone are not enough. Ongoing management, access and documentation need to remain clear over time.
Wi-Fi coverage
Defined areas and needs, with coverage to be checked on site.
Segmented networks
Traffic rules and separate access according to usage.
Visibility and monitoring
Inventoried equipment and checks suited to the required service.
Planned maintenance
Updates and changes prepared with the people involved.
Equipment development
Useful documentation for planning replacements and new requirements.
Understand your options before deciding.
Uses, limitations and frequently asked questions: the points to clarify when preparing your project.
Size for the protections actually enabled.
Connection speed alone cannot determine the right model. Security processing, tunnels, sessions and interfaces influence sizing. SonicWall offers security services grouped into different subscriptions. We check hardware, entitlements, expiry dates and required features before comparing options. Support conditions and the consequences of expiry must be confirmed for your product, without extrapolating from another range.
Prepare migration with end-to-end tests.
Preparation covers the rule inventory, address translation, networks and administrator access. We retain a reference configuration and agree rollback arrangements. Tests cover authorised connections, expected blocks and applications sensitive to filtering. An IT audit helps recover those dependencies when the firewall has evolved without documentation. Affected users should understand changes to remote access before the switchover.
Maintain the firewall after installation.
Logs and alerts need a recipient able to interpret them. Updates, security advisories and renewals also require follow-up. Our managed IT service can cover these tasks within a defined scope. Inspection of some traffic may require additional settings and application tests. No device alone guarantees freedom from incidents: computers, accounts and backups remain separate parts of the protection arrangements.
Questions about SonicWall services.
Are all security features included with the hardware? Check the services and entitlements actually purchased for the model. We make that scope visible before renewal.
Can the old firewall's rules be reused? They provide a starting point, but need review. Unnecessary or overly broad rules should not be copied automatically. Migration is also an opportunity to document access that is genuinely required.
SonicWall sources for confirming options.
The official SonicWall security services page describes plans and their scope. The Network Security Manager overview explains central management. Match these capabilities to your agreement and equipment compatibility.
