3Com® Firewall Desktop PCI Card with 10/100 LAN - 3CRFW200
3COM  3Com® Firewall Desktop PCI Card with 10/100 LAN 3CRFW200
The 3COM 3CRFW200 you're interested in is a: Embedded firewall hardware for a desktop PC; supports 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ethernet LANs with UTP cabling.
Distributed Desktop Protection, Central Control
The 3Com® Firewall Desktop PCI Card with 10/100 LAN works with the 3Com
Embedded Firewall Policy Server (sold separately), extending firewall filtering
and auditing capabilities across your enterprise—including PCs located inside
and outside the network perimeter. (Firewall configuration and management
require the purchase of 3Com Embedded Firewall Policy Server.)
This
unique combination of firewall hardware and management software delivers
superior protection and flexibility that software-only firewalls can't match.
The critical advantage of our firewall card over software-only products is
tamper resistance. 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,
each firewall card can be configured and managed only through an authenticated
3Com Embedded Firewall Policy Server. Even if a protected desktop is invaded,
the firewall card prevents a corrupted host from being used as a launching pad
for further invasion into the network.
When combined with our policy
server, the 3Com Firewall Desktop PCI Card lets you easily and cost-effectively
deploy network security when and where it's needed. You can distribute
tamper-resistant security by installing firewall cards on a scalable
system-by-system basis. Then, use the policy server to configure policies
appropriate for the desired level of security and push those policies across the
network to the firewall cards.
The firewall card plugs into a desktop PCI
slot, replacing the conventional Ethernet or Fast Ethernet LAN connection. In
Windows XP or 2000 environments, TCP and security tasks are offloaded to the
card's security processor, helping boost system performance.

Provides scalable, tamper-resistant protection for at-risk workstations,
telecommuter desktops or ad-hoc subnets—independent of routers or traffic
streams
Secures open Internet connections, such as VPN end points and broadband
access gateways, located inside or outside the perimeter firewall
The policy server lets you configure security policies that filter traffic
at each machine, allowing only the communications needed for a specific system
role or function
The firewall card only accepts instructions from authenticated firewall
policy servers and enforces them transparently to host applications and end
users
To protect desktops wherever they are located, firewall cards can be
configured to provide the appropriate protection for their location—more open
when connecting from behind your perimeter defenses and more restricted for
remote and Internet access
For extra peace of mind, firewall cards can be configured to default to your
highest level of security if they cannot communicate with the policy
server
Fully 802.3-compliant, our firewall cards complement and enhance the
protection you're currently using—including perimeter firewalls, antivirus
scanners, VPNs, and intrusion-detection systems (IDSs)
Firewall cards can lower IT administration costs by adding 24/7 intrusion
resistance that helps eliminate false alarms generated by IDS monitoring
IPSec offloads include 3DES and DES encryption, SHA-1 and MD5 algorithms,
and RFC 2402 authentication
In addition to IPSec, cycle-intensive TCP segmentation, and TCP/IP checksum
functions are offloaded, helping reduce CPU workloads and accelerate system
response
Security is easily scalable by purchasing and installing additional firewall
cards as nee
