What is SonicWall SonicOS? #
SonicWall SonicOS and SonicOSX (SonicOS/X) is the operating system that runs on SonicWall firewalls and provides the web management interface, API, and the Command Line Interface for firewall configuration.
Why Should You Use the SonicWall SonicOS Connector? #
The SonicWall SonicOS connector provides visibility into the assets in your environment. You can use this visibility to:
-
ensure assets are managed per your security policies
-
derive relationships between assets, users, applications, and data
