netfence gateways
There are many IT security appliances that guard data traffic, but the phion netfence appliances do much more: The latest firewall technology is the key for bandwidth management, high availability and a secured VPN connection. Use your network security solution to monitor your corporate network.
You can guarantee the corporate-wide and sustained protection for your internal network with the phion netfence gateway solutions. Data traffic is protected at every level by combining a Stateful Inspection Firewall with intrusion prevention, application protection and leading VPN technology. Crucial business processes run smoothly thanks to gigabit firewall performance and integrated bandwidth management. In addition the controlled and highly efficient interaction between kernel routing, firewall traffic analysis and local/global monitoring forms the basis for powerful high availability and connectivity functions. As such, the netfence appliances guarantee constant availability – from the connection to the application levels. You can also implement netfence gateway solutions as an email security gateways, DNS servers or web security gateways depending upon your requirements.
Most attacks mounted today are within the network. A single remote access link with an unsecured external PC or laptop is often sufficient to allow hackers and malicious codes to open a back door into the company. There are also additional hazards that arise as a result of intentional or unintentional misconduct by some employees. This threat cannot be mastered with perimeter protection alone, because attackers are already behind the network limits. Internal security solutions are therefore required. These monitor the company network and permit fast reaction to risks.
netfence gateways
netfence gateways integrate gigabit-performance firewall, cutting-edge technology VPN, intrusion prevention, DDos/DoS protection, intelligent application-selective bandwidth and multipath management with other critical application gateway functionality. A netfence gateway may also act as a fully fledged SMTP mail router, DNS server, or HTTP proxy thereby protecting and strengthening your infrastructures both on the network and the application security level.
netfence sectorwall
The netfence sectorwall from phion offers the optimum solution for internal firewalling and LAN segmentation. It is intended for use in the central corporate network.
With netfence sectorwall, company-wide security policies are not restricted to the perimeter and field offices, they can also be implemented in the increasingly important core area. The netfence sectorwall is available as a software appliance and is combinable with any netfence hardware appliance.
Link up subsidiaries safely: BOB and Traffic Intelligence – much more than VPN
A branch-office-box (BOB) is the key for networking branch offices. With netfence sintegra small subsidiaries have all they need from phion in one small, convenient security gateway: VPN, high availability, traffic intelligence, WAN optimisation and bandwidth management. So the network performance is as it should be. And the best thing is: It can all be managed centrally.
With its netfence appliances phion provides branch office box (BOB) solutions which convincingly address all subsidiary network requirements. By holding back frequently accessed contents at a local level (caching), prioritising data flows (quality of service) and with lossless data compression you can optimise reaction times and reduce band width capacities. Certain services, such as DHCP, can be provided locally at the same time. The traffic intelligence technology developed by phion also ensures an automatic line switch should the system fail.
The following line types are supported: leased lines, xDSL, ISDN, satellite, UMTS or Multi Provider Uplinks. This ensures that your subsidiaries can access the required resources with sufficient performance levels and remain productive at all times. By integrating a complete firewall and VPN gateway (with leading encryption algorithms up to AES 256) you can also achieve an enterprise protection level with phion netfence appliance for your subsidiaries. The integration into the central management system gives your network team the complete control over the WAN from the head office and thus forms the basis for cost-efficient operations.
The netfence sintegra appliances are integrative security gateways offering remote sites in particular more security and a high level of accessibility for their digital communication pathways at significantly lower operating costs. This means that branches not having their own security personnel can be optimally integrated within the existing, group-wide security infrastructure.
The design of netfence edge appliances has been strongly influenced by the insight that also the smallest remote offices require fully performant protection against threats.The netfence edge appliances from phion are integrative security gateways that provide small sites connected through DSL or an internet provider with optimal security and maximum availability. This combined with a significant reduction of the ownership and operating costs results in an optimal solution that precisely meets the needs of small remote offices.
