Enterprise Features and Full Security in an Economical
Solution
The 3Com® Embedded Firewall Starter Policy Server is a
ten-client version of the embedded firewall management software. It supports the
same feature set as the 1,000-client version, and likewise is required to
configure and manage 3Com Firewall PCI and PC Cards (sold separately). This
cost-saving version lets IT staff test-run embedded firewalls on a smaller
scale. It's also convenient for securing smaller networks.
The policy
server and firewall-client cards extend centrally managed, hardware-enforced
security to notebooks, desktops, and servers across the organization—inside and
outside the network perimeter. Together, they deliver superior tamper-resistance
that software-only firewalls can't match.
Firewall cards operate
independently of their host systems and are practically impervious to Internet
attacks, user actions, or malicious code. Equally important, they're
configurable only through authenticated policy servers. In other words, even if
a firewall-client system is invaded, it's practically impossible to exploit it
as an attack launching pad.
This standards-based solution complements a
defense-in-depth strategy and enhances other security products, including
perimeter firewalls, antivirus software, and VPNs. It also delivers flexibility
and scalability for growing networks. Once the policy server is installed,
firewall cards can be added on a system-by-system basis when and where they're
needed.
Cost-effectively and reliably secures telecommuter systems and mobile
notebooks, supporting different levels of protection for internal and external
connections
Automatically enforces tighter protection when firewall clients located
outside the perimeter firewall initiate network connections
Secures open Internet connections such as VPN end points and broadband
gateways; hardens web servers, DMZ subnets, public kiosks, and confidential
databases against unauthorized access
Although policy server software provides management, firewall card hardware
operates transparently to users, applications, and operating systems
Firewall cards accept instructions only from authenticated policy servers;
policies can be pushed across the LAN independent of routers, traffic streams,
or system locations
Enables fast response to network attacks; new policies can be configured and
pushed to all firewall clients in minutes
For extra peace of mind, firewall cards that cannot communicate with the
policy server can default to your highest security levels
Automates security chores—such as packet filtering and auditing, no
sniffing/no spoofing, blocking unnecessary ports, and denying
"ping"requests
Adds 24/7 intrusion resistance that helps reduce false alarms generated by
IDS monitoring
