What?! My Firewall Is Obsolete!?
3 Must-Haves for a Web 2.0 World

 


Secure Firewall is the Future-Proof Firewall that goes beyond UTM
Secure Firewall (Sidewinder) appliances are market-leading, next-generation firewalls that provide application visibility and control even beyond Unified Threat Management (UTM) for multi-layer security - and the highest nework performance. Global visibility of dynamic threats is the centrepiece of Secure Firewall and one of the key reasons for it's superior ability to detect unknown threats along with the known. Secure Firewalls deliver the best-of-breed in security systems to block attacks including viruses, worms, Trojans, intrusion attempts, spam and phishing tactics, cross-site scripting, SQL injections, denial of service (DoS) and attacks hiding in encrypted protocols. Secure Firewall kills the evasive blended attacks that other security products can't see.

  • Eliminates Botnets, Zombies and Blended Attacks with TrustedSource
  • Apply Precious Security Funding where the biggest threats are - Applications
  • Eliminate the Blind Spot of Encrypted Applications
  • Secure Firewall streamlines management and regulatory compliance
  • Combines five or more individual security systems in one appliance (firewall, VPN, encrypted application filtering, anti-virus, anti-spyware, anti-spam, IPS/IDS, reputation services, employee web filtering, etc.)
  • A product you can trust with an unequalled reputation

Eliminates Botnets, Zombies and Blended Attacks with TrustedSource
Secure Computing has set a new standard for proactive detection with the industry's first and leading reputation system - TrustedSource™ technology. This new paradigm of protection dissects traffic not against signatures but on the host/devices' behaviour history (reputation). Consequently, elusive botnets, zombies and blended threats are stopped in their tracks at the perimeter.

The TrustedSource global grid gives us security ESP - we see things other don't - and that's one reason why it stops well over 70% of the traffic (i.e. the unwanted traffic) flooding into today's network at the edge, reducing your network volume on down-stream servers and reducing your network's exposure to attack.

TrustedSource rejects connections from known bad senders, infected Web pages and hosts turned into malware-distributing zombies. Like credit scores in banking, TrustedSource has a real-time reputation scoring system and with its extensive visibility of Internet devices and the constantly changing threat landscape, questionable hosts are identified and organisations are empowered to block these threats. The Secure Firewall knows everyone's number!

Firewall Must-Haves in the Web 2.0 world:

  • Stop cross-site scripting, SQL injection attacks and directory traversals
  • Inspect encrypted protocols
  • Stop botnets and zombies
  • Who's trying to connect to your network? Filter traffic based on country codes

Secure Firewall does all this and more.

 

Businesses should connect with traffic that makes sense for its daily operations. Yet many companies use bandwidth and system resources to handle traffic from countries and entire continents they don't do business with and expose themselves to more security risks. Secure Firewall Geo-location stops this waste by providing the choice to filter traffic based on country code.

  • TrustedSource and Secure Firewall Geo-location provide security ESP to let you dramatically reduce exposure to attack, as well as save bandwidth, processing time and infrastructure expenses.

Apply Precious Security Funding where the biggest threats are - Applications
Applications themselves are the new playground for hackers. Current estimates say 70% to 80% of new attacks are focused on vulnerabilities in applications and commodity stateful/deep inspection firewalls fall short protecting here. Visibility to applications alone doesn't equal protection. As a true application firewall, Secure Firewall surpasses visibility to control applications, including how they are used and who they can be used by for the most popular applications like email, HTTP/S (Web), multi-media (H323), Oracle, Citrix, SQL, VoIP (SIP), SSH, FTP and other high-use services. Controlling applications over your network further reduces your exposure to atttack.

Eliminate the Blind Spot of Encrypted Applications
Encrypted protocols are the other new playground for hackers today because they know most firewalls pass this traffic straight through without any inspection. Not so with Secure Firewall, which decrypts and filters traffic in SSH, SFTP, SCP and SSL/HTTPS, so this traffic won't become surprise attacks waiting to happen when they reach your internal servers.

Secure Firewall Streamlines Management and Regulatory Compliance
The best security is also easy to manage. Besides having an easy user interface where any rule can be created in just one screen, Secure Firewall provides multiple tools for easy management

  • Secure Firewall Reporter is an award-winning security event management (SEM) tool included at no additional cost with Secure Firewall that delivers central monitoring, correlated alerting and reporting to turn Secure Firewall audit streams into actionable information to keep the enterprise safer. Over 800 graphical reports show network traffic in many angles and include complete information for all major regulatory requirements including Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), PCI, GLBA, HIPAA, and FISMA, taking the pain out of regulatory compliance
  • Central firewall management is available through Secure Firewall CommandCenter
  • New-feature patch updates are delivered to you automatically via the Internet. Secure Firewall authenticates, self-checks and even self-installs upgrades for your system with just a single 'click' per your schedule
  • Monitor and manage employee and contractor use of the network to catch spyware or other harmful content, whether it's inadvertently downloaded or done so maliciously.

On top of all this, Secure Firewall customers have never been interrupted by emergency security patches, an all too common phenomena in the security industry. With Secure Firewall in place, take the staff time normally devoted to emergency patches for other firewalls and put it on better projects, like creating competitive IT/networking advantages for your business.
