| Unified and Scalable Security Architecture |
|
- Provides the freedom to choose from best-of-breed security tools or use existing security tools with a migration path that offers maximum growth potential
|
|
| High Availability Security Tools |
|
- Ensures high availability of multivendor security tools including firewall, VPN, IDS, content inspection and anti-virus through real-time health monitoring, failure bypassing and traffic redirection
|
|
| Business-Smart Traffic Classification and Security Policy Enforcement |
|
- Enables customized security operations by application and user across any security device, optimizing performance by selectively forwarding relevant traffic to the appropriate security elements
|
|
| Multi-Gigabit, Optimized Security Switching and Accelerated Response Times |
|
- Dynamically distributes traffic across security devices based on pre-defined policies
- Takes into account both inbound and outbound traffic
- Eliminates performance degradation and latency, while boosting security processing speeds
|
|
| End-to-End Security Traffic Shaping and Bandwidth Control |
|
- Provides complete control over bandwidth allocation and service-level assurances for security performance and enforcement of custom security operations
|
|
| Pre-Screening of Trusted Content |
|
- Allows forwarding of trusted traffic (.gif, .jpg, .avi, .mp3, .mpeg, .tif) without inspection, while directing non-trusted traffic to an anti-virus device for scanning
- Pre-screening reduces traffic load on content inspection devices and accelerates content scanning speed for optimal performance
|
|
| SSL Sniffing of Encrypted Content Security |
|
- Affords complete content visibility and real-time blocking of all suspect traffic for complete content security (in combination with AppXcel™)
- Secures both client- and server-side connections with security enforcement of secure socket layer (SSL) traffic
|
|
| Proactive Attack Isolation |
|
- Employs unique bandwidth management and traffic shaping to dynamically control bandwidth allocations to applications, users or segments affected by a malicious attack, and prevents them from spreading
|
|
| Integrated Intrusion Prevention and DoS Protection |
|
- Secures against internal and external application-based attacks including viruses, worms, Trojans, anti-scanning, protocol anomalies, SYN attacks and DoS/DDoS attacks
|
|
| Centralized Management of Security Policies |
|
- Centralizes control and management of all security policies for complete operational visibility. Simple configuration of security policy flow set-up is enabled reducing error-prone, complex, static, routing configurations.
|
|
| Security Forensics and Attack Analysis |
|
- Delivers comprehensive security attack logs for analysis and profiling of attack signatures and complete application security auditing
