SAN JOSE, Calif., May 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SonicWALL, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNWL), a leading secure network infrastructure company, today announced that Liberty Fruit Company, Inc., has selected SonicWALL's Network Security Appliance (NSA) 2400 to provide a reliable and secure IT network infrastructure. The premier retail and wholesale food supplier also subscribed to SonicWALL's Global Support Services which provide network protection for internal and customer data as well as assuring that valuable transactional and personal customer information resulting from online orders is accessed only by authorized sources.

"I need to block threats at the firewall before they have a chance to get into my network," said Al Rosenstock, Network Administrator at the Liberty Fruit Company, Inc. "Since we've started scanning all incoming traffic with the SonicWALL NSA 2400, we've reduced our infection rate to zero, enhancing protection for not just ourselves but also our customers."
