Dell SonicWALL Firewall Log Analyzer Software
Use past SonicWall SIEM data to help prevent threats
SolarWinds® Security Event Manager (SEM) is designed to help you receive, track, monitor, and analyze Dell SonicWALL traffic monitoring logs for intrusion, malware, security threats, network traffic, and more.
Using SolarWinds SEM, you can visually explore the firewall log data through an intuitive dashboard. You can also perform in-depth searches to analyze SonicWALL logs and gain insight into recurring suspicious events—which can help prevent security breaches. The search interface can also help you perform forensic analysis on events to better determine what happened before, during, and after an event.
Correlate events in real-time and discover anomalies
SolarWinds Security Event Manager is built to monitor firewall logs from SonicWALL to detect port scans and other network attacks based on unusual traffic patterns or malformed packets.
With its real-time multiple-event correlation capabilities, you can effectively troubleshoot firewall anomalies by understanding the relationship between activities that may otherwise seem unconnected. For example, the out-of-the-box correlation rules can help with finding the relationship between the number of user logon failures and denied traffic counts.
Troubleshoot and remediate threats with active responses
SolarWinds Security Event Manager is built to set remediation measures for suspicious activity. Whether it’s a threat infiltrating your IT infrastructure or malicious software passing through your firewall, SEM is designed to take responsive action in real time based on SonicWALL log information and log data from across your network.
SolarWinds SEM active response gives real-time corrective attention to each violation, such as behavior patterns or specific internal or compliance-driven policies. For example, you can have a rule for port scans and block non-whitelisted IPs from scanning your network.
What is SonicWALL used for?
SonicWALL firewalls are part of the network security products provided by Dell. SonicWALL offers different kinds of firewalls—including next-generation hardware-based firewalls and virtual firewalls—to help protect your network from unwanted intrusions.
SonicWALL firewalls are built to monitor, filter, and control incoming and outgoing web traffic based on pre-set network security rules. They’re the first line of defense between an internal network and an unregulated external network, like the internet.
Why is SonicWALL log analysis important?
Using a SonicWALL event log analyzer is important because the event data and logs from SonicWALL traffic monitoring contains information that can be vital to the health and safety of your network. SonicWALL log analysis can help answer the important “how” questions, such as:
- How long before the threat was resolved?
- How many applications and systems on the network were compromised?
- How could this attack have been prevented?
What does a SonicWALL analyzer do?
A SonicWALL log analyzer is built to monitor and collect log information from firewalls to enable you to more easily analyze, identify, prevent, and mitigate the effects of cybersecurity threats.
Assessing logs manually can be time-consuming and labor-intensive, but a SonicWALL analyzer is built to automate many actions, such as responding to potential threats in real time, to help optimize the troubleshooting and resolution processes.
A log analyzer for SonicWall firewalls can also help simplify auditing and compliance reporting tasks. When auditing or demonstrating compliance, users may be asked to produce detailed logs of activities, including logs from applications, servers, network device, routers, and firewalls. A centralized SIEM log analysis tool can gather logs from various sources including SonicWALL firewalls, parse the data, and put it into a common readable format, creating a central location you can use to help simplify audits and make compliance reporting easier.
How does the SonicWALL log analyzer work in Security Event Manager?
SolarWinds Security Event Manager is a comprehensive SIEM solution designed to simplify SonicWALL log analysis. SEM’s intuitive dashboard can offer critical visibility into SonicWALL logs by allowing you to drill down and analyze potential issues like intrusions, malware, and cybersecurity threats in greater detail.
Its in-depth search feature can also help you learn more about suspicious events by allowing you to narrow in on specific logs using visualizations, out-of-the-box filters, and simple, responsive text-based searches to find current and past events. SEM SonicWALL log analyzer is built to help you more easily identify and correlate relationships between seemingly unrelated events.
Responding to threats is also made easier with SEM—simply set up automated active responses to trigger with certain correlation rules, such as immediately logging off a potentially suspicious user who has more than five failed login attempts, which can enable you to proactively stop security threats at scale.
