Securing connections across an enterprise is precisely what CyberGuard's VPN
is designed to do. Because it is integrated into the world's most secure
firewall appliances, the CyberGuard VPN delivers the same levels of security,
performance, and ease-of-use features that security professionals have come to
expect from CyberGuard. Whether the need is to connect securely on a local,
regional, national or worldwide scale, CyberGuard has the right VPN solution for
your needs.
Outstanding Performance
CyberGuard firewalls are known
for their ability to deliver peerless security and blazing-fast performance.
CyberGuard's VPN solution carries on this proud tradition.
VPN Acceleration
To meet the performance
needs of enterprise-scale VPN implementations, CyberGuard provides
hardware-based VPN acceleration that offloads complex cryptographic operations
from the firewall CPU. This enables CyberGuard appliances to maintain high
bandwidth firewall throughput without degrading performance unlike other
firewall/VPN products.
High Availability
In a global economy, your enterprise
operates around the clock and so should your network security. You can't afford
downtime. CyberGuard's integrated VPN offers high availability to assure
continuous network protection and secure connections. With CyberGuard's VPN,
you'll have the redundancy and reliability you need to assure your network stays
up 24/7.
Easy To Deploy and Manage
One of the biggest obstacles to
implementing a VPN solution successfully is the degree of complexity involved in
configuring and managing the connections. CyberGuard's approach is to make
simplicity and security seamless.
With CyberGuard's award-winning graphical interface, setup and administration
are simple and straightforward with the tightly integrated VPN management
functions. VPN-specific ease-of-use features include default profiles and
helpful pull-down screens. CyberGuard's intuitive design enables you to reduce
your deployment time and need for additional training.
Virtual Routing
Unlike firewalls that require you to
configure each tunnel individually using a routing table, CyberGuard's
integrated VPN solution does the work for you by determining the path for each
VPN connection automatically. Setting-up VPN gateway rules is as easy and
straightforward as setting up packet filter rules.
NATsmartT
CyberGuard's fully integrated VPN lets you set
up, configure, operate and manage network address translation (NAT) dynamically
from the same management interface. Many VPNs simply don't work correctly in a
NAT environment. NATsmart enables VPN access through NAT for connections between
remote private and public networks protected by CyberGuard firewall/VPN
appliances. You can operate NAT dynamically and turn it off for encrypted
private-to-private network tunneling.
Interoperability
Connecting your enterprise securely with
a remote workforce, branch offices, worldwide locations and business partners
requires that your VPN solution work with a variety of disparate systems.
CyberGuard's VPN are fully interoperable, standards-based and certified by key
industry organizations. As a member of the VPN Consortium (VPNC), CyberGuard is
part of an industry-wide initiative promoting interoperability of VPN
systems.
CyberGuard's VPN works seamlessly with a wide array of third party clients,
including Safenet SoftRemote, F-Secure VPN+ and SSH Sentinel. Standard features
include IKE and X.509 certificate support, as well as support for a wide range
of cryptographic algorithms including DES, Triple DES and
AES.
