AGSS versus CGSS
The difference between SonicWall AGSS (Advanced Gateway Security Suite) and CGSS (Comprehensive Gateway Security Suite).
When buying a bundled product which includes the firewall hardware you get the following subscriptions:
TotalSecure = CGSS
TotalSecure - Advanced Edition = AGSS
Secure Upgrade Plus = CGSS
Secure Upgrade Plus - Advanced Edition = AGSS
AGSS = CGSS + CATP (Capture Advanced Threat Protection)
In summary, the difference between the two bundled products is the Capture Advanced Threat Protection service which can discover and stop zero-day and other unknown attacks.
