Protect your SonicWall TZ series firewall with cloud-based, autonomous threat analysis that identifies and blocks malware, ransomware, and zero-day exploits before they reach your network. SonicWall Capture Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) is designed to integrate seamlessly with TZ270 and other TZ models, delivering proactive defense through sandboxing, threat intelligence, and automated remediation. This 1-year subscription license provides ongoing updates, support, and policy-based protection, helping security teams stay ahead of evolving threats while minimizing impact on performance and user productivity. With TA A-compliant delivery and scalable coverage, Capture ATP is the trusted choice for small to enterprise networks seeking comprehensive, hands-off threat prevention.

• Cloud-powered sandboxing and threat analysis — Capture ATP analyzes suspicious content and files in a secure, isolated sandbox to reveal malicious behavior that traditional signature-based systems might miss. By detonation in a safe virtual environment, it uncovers advanced threats, behavioral indicators, and command-and-control patterns, then returns actionable verdicts to your firewall to stop threats in their tracks.
• Real-time threat intelligence and rapid remediation — Leveraging SonicWall’s Global Threat Network, ATP receives up-to-the-minute IOC data, indicators of compromise, and machine-learning-driven analytics. This enables near-instant blocking of new malware families and zero-day exploits, reducing dwell time and providing faster incident response for security operations teams of any size.
• Flexible licensing for TZ-series deployments — This is a 1-user, 1-year subscription license that plugs directly into supported TZ appliances (including TZ270) and scales with your network. It simplifies procurement and renewal, ensuring continuous protection without up-front hardware changes. The license is designed to align with enterprise procurement processes while remaining accessible for small- to mid-sized deployments.
• Seamless on-device integration and policy control — Activation and policy configuration are performed through the SonicWall management console, with intuitive controls for sandbox submission, file types to analyze, and action thresholds. IT teams can tailor ATP behavior to balance security with user productivity, enabling aggressive protection for sensitive segments and lighter scrutiny where appropriate.
• Enhanced protection for encrypted traffic and broader security coverage — ATP supports analyzing encrypted traffic and integrates with your SSL/TLS inspection strategy to detect threats hidden in transit. Combined with SonicWall’s broader security stack, it provides multi-layer defense, centralized visibility, and comprehensive reporting that helps meet compliance needs and security posture goals.

how to install SonicWall Capture Advanced Threat Protection

Installing SonicWall Capture ATP on a TZ-series firewall is a straightforward process designed to minimize downtime while maximizing security. The steps below outline a typical deployment workflow from activation to policy tuning, ensuring you get the most out of ATP's capabilities.

• Prerequisites — Ensure your TZ270 or supported TZ device is online and running compatible firmware. Have your 1-year license activation key ready, along with administrator access to the SonicWall management console. Validate that your network design allows traffic to be submitted for cloud-based analysis as required by your security policy.
• Access the management console — Log in to the SonicWall management interface using an administrator account. Navigate to the Security Services or Capture ATP section, depending on your firmware version and device model.
• Activate the ATP license — In the licensing area, enter the activation key associated with your 1-year Capture ATP subscription. Confirm activation and allow the portal to synchronize with the cloud service, ensuring your device is registered for ATP and is receiving updates.
• Configure submission and analysis policies — Specify the file types and traffic categories that should be analyzed by the cloud sandbox. Define submission rules (automatic or on-demand), and set your preferred action for detected threats (block, alert, quarantine). If you intend to inspect encrypted traffic, integrate ATP with your SSL/TLS inspection policy and ensure privacy and compliance requirements are met.
• Enable reporting and logging — Activate detailed alerts, activity logs, and dashboards to track ATP activity, detections, and remediation actions. Configure periodic reports for security teams or executives and integrate ATP data with your SIEM or logging platform as needed.
• Test and validate — Run non-production traffic or a controlled test to confirm that files are being submitted to the cloud sandbox and that the firewall enforces the expected responses. Review sandbox verdicts and adjust policy thresholds to balance protection with user experience.
• Ongoing tuning and renewal — Monitor threat landscape, adjust submission rules for new file types, and renew the ATP license before expiration to maintain continuous protection. Schedule quarterly reviews of protection effectiveness and policy effectiveness with your security team.
