Secure Access / SASESecure Mobile Access (SMA)
An advanced secure-access gateway with enterprise-powered remote access.
SonicWall Secure Mobile Access (SMA) is an advanced secure-access gateway that provides enterprise-grade remote and mobile access to corporate resources — with granular access control, endpoint compliance checking, and strong authentication. The SMA 1000 Series delivers high-availability, high-performance secure access for enterprises. Faltrox deploys, configures, and operates it as managed secure remote access.
Overview
What Secure Mobile Access (SMA) is
Remote and mobile users need access to corporate resources without opening the whole network to risk. SonicWall Secure Mobile Access is an advanced secure-access gateway with enterprise-powered features that provides that access with control — granular policy, endpoint interrogation, and strong authentication — for managed and unmanaged devices alike.
The SMA 1000 Series (SMA 6210, 7210, and the 8200v virtual model) delivers high-availability, high-performance secure access for enterprises, with per-application access control, device compliance checking before access is granted, and support for a wide range of clients and authentication methods. It gives remote workers productive access while keeping the corporate network protected. Faltrox deploys it, builds the access policy, and operates it as managed secure remote access.

FAQ
Common questions
01What does SMA provide?
It is an advanced secure-access gateway that gives remote and mobile users enterprise-grade access to corporate resources — with granular per-application access control, endpoint compliance checking, and strong authentication — so users are productive without opening the whole network to risk.
02Does it check the device before granting access?
Yes — endpoint interrogation checks device posture and compliance before access is granted, so access decisions consider whether the device is trustworthy, not just who the user is. This matters especially for unmanaged and BYOD devices.
03How does SMA relate to Cloud Secure Edge?
SMA is the established secure-access-gateway approach (appliance-based, VPN-style but granular); Cloud Secure Edge is the cloud-delivered Zero Trust / SSE model. Organisations run either or both depending on architecture. Faltrox scopes the right fit for your access needs.
04Is there a virtual option?
Yes — the SMA 1000 Series includes the 8200v virtual model alongside the 6210 and 7210 physical appliances, so it can be deployed virtually where that suits the environment.
05How does Faltrox operate it?
We deploy the gateway, build the granular access and endpoint-compliance policy, integrate authentication, and monitor access — delivering managed secure remote access rather than a gateway your team configures alone.
