Network Security
|
ProSecure UTM appliances include firewall functionality that deploys an array of network security technologies such as Stateful packet inspection (SPI), Intrusion prevention (IPS), and denial-of-service (DoS) protection to protect the network from threats such as hackers, port scans, DoS attacks, and TCP/UDP floods.
The ProSecure UTM's network intrusion prevention and detection system utilizes a rule-driven language, which combines the benefits of signature, protocol and anomaly based inspection methods, preventing hackers from penetrating the network perimeter. IPS is not only important, but a necessity for any network security architecture. The IPS engine performs protocol analysis, content searching/matching, and can also block or passively detect a variety of attacks and probes, such as buffer overflows, stealth port scans, web application attacks, and SQL injections amongst other attacks. Attacks are dropped as they are taking place.

In addition to protecting the network from outside threats, enforcing company network usage policies can prevent internal users from pulling in threats due to misuse. The ProSecure UTM's application controls can be used t block access to public IM clients such as Yahoo!® Messenger, MIRC, and MSN® Messenger and save bandwidth by blocking peer-to-peer (P2P) clients like BitTorrent, eDonkey, and Gnutella. |
