SonicWall Firewall
Comprehensive, managed internet security to protect businesses from a wide range of cyber threats
What is a SonicWall Firewall?
The Email Journalling Service automatically captures and archives every inbound and outbound email, creating a complete and unalterable record of communications. This service stores all emails in a tamper-proof environment, ensuring they are available for retrieval whenever needed, whether for legal inquiries, compliance audits, or internal investigations. The service provides secure access to these records, ensuring that businesses meet regulatory and legal requirements regarding data retention and protection.
How does a SonicWall Firewall work?
Businesses need to ensure the proper retention of email communications for legal, regulatory, or compliance reasons. Standard email services do not offer the ability to automatically archive every inbound and outbound email in a tamper-proof format, leaving businesses vulnerable to data loss, compliance issues, or legal risks if emails are accidentally deleted or tampered with. Email backup solutions alone are insufficient for legal archiving, as they focus on data recovery rather than providing a full, unaltered email record.
The Importance of a SonicWall Firewall
Email journalling is critical for businesses that must comply with legal and regulatory requirements for data retention. This includes sectors like finance, healthcare, and law, where the integrity and availability of email records are crucial. Without proper email journalling, businesses may face significant risks, including fines, legal liabilities, or the inability to provide crucial evidence in legal proceedings. Additionally, email journalling helps maintain accountability within the organisation by ensuring all communications are
securely stored and retrievable.
The Outcome
Customers will benefit from having a reliable, secure, and compliant solution for archiving all their email
communications. This service ensures that emails are preserved in their original format, providing legal and regulatory peace of mind. In the event of a legal dispute or audit, businesses will have immediate access to the complete email history, reducing the time and resources spent on retrieving necessary communications. The solution also helps businesses streamline compliance processes and avoid penalties related to insufficient data retention.

What This Product Doesn't Do:
Doesn’t Protect Remote Workers unless working over a
VPN: While SonicWall firewalls offer comprehensive protection for your office network, they don’t extend security to employees working remotely or on the road. Additional measures are required to secure off-site connections. Please see Apex Cyber Security Sphere.
Not a Complete Cybersecurity Solution: SonicWall firewalls are highly effective for office environments but need to be complemented with other security layers like multi-factor authentication (MFA) and endpoint protection, especially for businesses with hybrid workforces. The Apex Cyber Security Sphere provides these additional layers of protection, ensuring full coverage whether users are in the office or working remotely.
Doesn’t Replace User Training or Internal Security Policies: While the firewall provides robust external threat protection, businesses still need to enforce internal security policies and
conduct cybersecurity training for employees to address human
vulnerabilities.
