SONICWALL TAKES EMAIL SECURITY OFFERING TO THE NEXT LEVEL WITH NEW CAPABILITIES IN THE WAR AGAINST SPAM

KUALA LUMPUR – June 25, 2007 – SonicWALL, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNWL) today launched a new version of its Email Security solution that delivers powerful new performance and management capabilities to help keep organizations productive and safe from inbound and outbound email threats.

SonicWall was in town just last week to promote the much anticipated gateway security appliance classified as Network Security Appliance(NSA) type of products, code name NSA E7500.

SonicWall is represented in Malaysia by ACA Pacific, a Singapore based IT marketing company.

Premium performance Solutions:

Based on the new capabilities of Version 6.0, SonicWALL has added the Email Security 6000 and 8000 products to its new E Class line of premium performance solutions designed to provide network and data technology to large networks. The Email Security 6000 and 8000 solutions join SonicWALL’s recently-announced Network Security Appliance (NSA) E7500 to expand the E Class line up. The NSA E7500 is a 16-way multi core Unified Threat Management security appliance intended for deployment in campus networks, distributed environments and data centers.

Satisfaction Guaranteed:

"We purchased a Sonicwall Email Security system recently and immediately upgraded to the SonicWALL Email Security 6.0 Beta software to take advantage of the interface improvements and, most importantly for us, the ability to batch import user email addresses. We are very pleased with its effectiveness and overall performance," said Mark Stuhr, director of Information Technology at Nolo, the nation's oldest and most respected provider of legal information for consumers and small businesses. "The system is very easy to manage and has significantly reduced the time I and, more importantly, all of my users have to spend on managing spam and related email threats each day. My users, my staff and I are all very pleased with this device."

At the core of the enhancements to SonicWALL Email Security are a complete range of enterprise-class capabilities that deliver complete inbound and outbound email protection in a highly scalable, easy to manage, proven solution.

SonicWALL Email Security Version 6.0 also adds features designed to improve manageability of the system such as: a new administrative user interface, real time system monitoring of email throughput and CPU usage, improved reporting performance and simplified licensing. In addition, Version 6.0 continues to extend the flexibility of SonicWALL’s industry leading end-user controls with improvements to Junk Box summaries, enhanced personal allowed-list management and the introduction of user-action notifications – all designed to reduce IT administrator’s involvement in day-to-day end user email management.
