Prevention

SonicWall recommends that any organisation still using end-of-life SSL-VPN (200/2000/400) and/or SRA devices (4600/1600; 4200/1200) disconnect these devices immediately.

Devices still under support, but using 8.x firmware, should immediately upgrade to the latest versions from SonicWall.
