Symantec
Enterprise Firewall, designed to provide
proactive, enterprise-class network and application-level
protection, enables fast and secure connectivity
with the Internet. It protects the enterprise from
both known and unknown attacks, due to its stringent
standards-based approach. The solution integrates
full application inspection, application-layer proxies,
stateful inspection, and packet filtering into a
unique hybrid architecture to protect against complex
blended threats and denial of service attacks, by
default. This unique hybrid architecture ensures
complete control of information entering and leaving
the enterprise while providing partners and customers
with secure, uninterrupted access to corporate resources.
Through its integrated, standards-based VPN, the
solution also provides low-cost, high-speed connectivity
between offices, as well as between mobile workers
and the office.
Symantec Enterprise Firewall provides
an advanced "best-fit" algorithm for matching
access rules to connection attempts, ensuring administrators
do not inadvertently create security holes. To extend
the software's scalability and eliminate network
downtime, the solution offers integrated software-based
High Availability/Load Balancing. A Web content
filtering option is also available to filter URLs.
Developed for Windows® and Solaris®,
Symantec Enterprise Firewall can be managed by the
standalone, secure, Web-based, Security Gateway
Management Interface (SGMI) - included, at no additional
cost, with Symantec Enterprise Firewall for initial
setup and local management. For advanced management
capabilities, the Symantec Advanced Manager and
Symantec Event Manager for Security Gateways options
are plug-ins to the Symantec management console
and provide centralized policy configuration management,
logging, alerting, and reporting for all security
functions. The Symantec Advanced Manager and Symantec
Event Manager provide secure, centralized, Web-based
management of hundreds or thousands of security
gateway deployments.
