3Com® Firewall PCI Card with 10/100 LAN - 3CRFW200B
3COM  3Com® Firewall PCI Card with 10/100 LAN 3CRFW200B
The 3COM 3CRFW200B you're interested in is a: Embedded firewall hardware for a desktop or server PC; supports 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ethernet LANs with UTP cabling.
Distributed Firewall Hardware for Servers and Desktops
The 3Com® Firewall PCI Card with 10/100 LAN works with our 3Com Embedded
Firewall Policy Server or Starter Policy Server (required and sold separately)
to extend tamper-resistant firewall filtering and auditing capabilities across
your enterprise—both inside and outside the network perimeter.
These
centrally managed firewall cards protect servers and desktops with superior
tamper-resistance that software-only firewalls can't match. Built into each
firewall card is an onboard RISC processor that enforces security transparently
to end users, local applications, and operating systems. This embedded firewall
hardware is practically impervious to Internet attacks, end user actions, or
malicious code.
Equally important, the firewall card can be configured
and managed only through an authenticated 3Com Embedded Firewall Policy Server.
Even if a protected system is corrupted, the firewall card prevents its host
from being used as a launching pad for further invasion into the
network.
The 3Com Firewall PCI Card plugs into a standard PCI slot,
replacing the conventional 10/100 LAN connection. In Windows 2003, 2000, or XP
environments, the firewall card offloads TCP and security processing for
improved system performance. Because the firewall cards are installed on a
system-by-system basis, it's easy to expand network security when and where it's
needed, in economical increments. Once the firewall cards are installed, simply
use the policy server to configure and push security policies to
firewall-enabled systems across the network.
Cost-saving
multi-packs of the 3Com Firewall PCI Card with 10/100 LAN are also
available.
Provides superior resistance to malicious code, hostile users, unauthorized
access, and disabling; firewall cards only accept instructions from
authenticated policy servers
Facilitates assigning security by group role or function and enables
immediate response to detected network attacks
Receives centrally configured and deployed security policies and management
instructions from authenticated policy servers, independent of routers or
traffic streams
Provides host-independent enforcement, 24x7 intrusion resistance, and robust
security functionality that bolsters administrative confidence in the safety of
the network
Secures open Internet connections, such as VPN endpoints and broadband
access gateways, located inside or outside the perimeter firewall
Protects users with multiple levels of protection wherever they work—more
relaxed for internal LAN connections and more restricted for shared and
Internet-accessible systems
Hardens web and e-commerce servers, DMZ subnets, and customer databases
against Internet attacks and unauthorized access
Automatically limits system-to-system communication when connecting outside
the network perimeter; ignores nonessential protocols, shuts down unnecessary
ports, denies "ping" requests, and disables packet sniffing and IP
spoofing
Provides around-the-clock peace of mind; if firewall cards cannot
communicate with the policy server, they will default to your maximum security
levels
Complements other 802.3-standard compliant security solutions—including
security services switches, firewall/VPNs, antivirus scanners, and
intrusion-detection systems (IDSs)
Lowers IT administration costs with 24/7 intrusion resistance that helps
eliminate false alarms generated by IDS monitoring
