SonicWall Analytics provides an eagle-eye view into everything that is happening inside the SonicWall network security environment ? all through a single pane of glass. At its core is a powerful, intelligence-driven analytic engine that automates the aggregation, normalization and contextualization of security data flowing across all SonicWall firewalls. The application's interactive dashboard uses various forms of semantic graphs, time-use charts and tables to create knowledge representations of the data models.

Analytics presents results in a meaningful, actionable and easily consumable manner. This empowers security teams, analysts, auditors, boards and C-suites to discover, interpret, prioritize, make evidencebased decisions, and take appropriate defensive and corrective actions against risks and threats as they unfold in the discovery process.

Analytics provides stakeholders with realtime insights and single-pane visibility, authority and flexibility. As a result, they can perform deep drill-down investigative and forensic analysis of network traffic, user access, connectivity, applications and utilization, state of security assets, security events, threat profiles and other firewall-related data.

This deep knowledge and understanding of the security environment provides the intelligence and capacity to uncover and orchestrate remediation to security risks, and monitors and tracks the results with greater clarity, certainty and speed. Integrating Analytics into the business process helps operationalize analytics, thus transforming data into information, information into knowledge and knowledge into decisions toward achieving security automation.
