Secure Firewall
Secure Firewall Is the Future-Proof Firewall That Goes Beyond UTM
Today's Threats Need A New Paradigm of Protection
|
The old technology of rules and signatures is no longer enough with new
threats combining many attack vectors at once and coming from outside and inside
the network, and even through encrypted protocols. Applications themselves are
now the new playing ground for hackers. Keeping this threat environment at bay
has never been more challenging as networks and connectivity keep growing and
threats are dynamic and change with rapid-fire speed. Limited IT resources are
hard pressed to keep up.
Secure Firewall Is the Future-Proof Firewall That Goes Beyond UTM
Secure Firewall (Sidewinder) appliances are market-leading,
next-generation firewalls that provide application visibility and control even
beyond Unified Threat Management (UTM) for multi-layer security—and the highest
network performance. Global visibility of dynamic threats is the centerpiece of
Secure Firewall and one of the key reasons for it’s superior ability to detect
unknown threats along with the known. Secure Firewalls deliver the best-of-breed
in security systems to block attacks including viruses, worms, Trojans,
intrusion attempts, spam and phishing tactics, cross-site scripting, SQL
injections, denial of service (DoS), and attacks hiding in encrypted protocols.
Secure Firewall kills the evasive blended attacks that other security products
can’t see. |

Secure Computing® has set a new standard for proactive detection with the
industry’s first and leading reputation system—TrustedSource™ technology. This new paradigm of
protection dissects traffic not against signatures but on the host/devices'
behavior history (reputation). Consequently, elusive botnets, zombies, and
blended threats are stopped in their tracks at the perimeter.
The TrustedSource global grid gives us security ESP—we see things that others
don’t—and that’s one reason why we stop well over 70% of the traffic
(i.e., the unwanted traffic) flooding into today’s networks at the edge,
reducing your network volume on down-stream servers and reducing your network’s
exposure to attack. TrustedSource rejects connections from known bad senders,
infected Web pages, and hosts turned into malware-distributing zombies. Like
credit scores in banking, Trustedsource has a real-time reputation scoring
system, and with its extensive visibility of Internet devices and the constantly
changing threat landscape, questionable hosts are identified, and organizations
are empowered to block these threats. The Secure Firewall knows everyone's
number!
Businesses should connect with traffic that makes sense for its daily
operations. Yet many companies use bandwidth and system resources to handle
traffic from countries and entire continents they don't do business with and
expose themselves to more security risks. Secure Firewall Geo-location stops
this waste by providing the choice to filter traffic based on country code.
- TrustedSource and Secure Firewall Geo-location provide security ESP to let
you dramatically reduce exposure to attack, as well as save bandwith, processing
time, and infrastructure expenses.

Applications themselves are the new playground for hackers. Current estimates
say 70% to 80% of new attacks are focused on vulnerabilities in applications,
and commodity stateful/deep inspection firewalls fall short protecting here.
Visibility to applications alone doesn’t equal protection. As a true application
firewall, Secure Firewall (Sidewinder) surpasses visibility to control
applications, including how they are used and who they can be used by for the
most popular applications like email, HTTP/S (Web), Multi-media (H.323), Oracle,
Citrix, SQL, VoIP (SIP), SSH, FTP, and other high-use services. Controlling
applications over your network further reduces your exposure to attack.

Encrypted protocols are the other new playground for hackers today because
they know most firewalls pass this traffic straight through without any
inspection. Not so with Secure Firewall, which decrypts and filters traffic in
SSH, SFTP, SCP, and SSL/HTTPS, so this traffic won’t become surprise attacks
waiting to happen when they reach your internal servers.

The best security is also easy to manage. Besides having an easy user
interface where any rule can be created in just one screen, Secure Firewall
provides multiple tools for easy management:
- Secure Firewall Reporter is an
award-winning security event management (SEM) tool included at no additonal cost
with Secure Firewall (Sidewinder) that delivers central monitoring,
correlated alerting, and reporting to turn Secure Firewall audit streams into
actionable information to keep the enterprise safer. Over 800 graphical reports
show network traffic in many angles and include complete information for all
major regulatory requirements including Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), PCI, GLBA, HIPAA, and
FISMA, taking the pain out of regulatory compliance.
- Central firewall management is available through Secure Firewall CommandCenter.
- New-feature patch updates are delivered to you automatically via the
Internet. Secure Firewall (Sidewinder) authenticates, self-checks, and
even self-installs upgrades for your system with just a single ‘click’ per your
schedule.
- Monitor and manage employee and contractor use of the network to catch
spyware or other harmful content, whether it’s inadvertently downloaded or done
so maliciously.
On top of all this, Secure Firewall customers have never been interrupted by
emergency security patches, an all too common phenomena in the security
industry. With Secure Firewall in place, take the staff time normally devoted to
emergency patches for other firewalls and put it on better projects, like
creating competitive IT/networking advantages for your business.
Secure Computing's portfolio of Secure Firewall appliances provide
next-generation global intelligence, and application visibility and control even
beyond Unified Threat Management (UTM) for multi-layer security—along with the
highest network performance. Application-level protection blocks against known,
unknown, and emerging Internet security threats. Capabilities include secure
VPNs, anti-virus, anti-spam, anti-spyware, anomaly detection, and IDS/IPS
protection capabilities, as well as Geo-Location, Web Filtering, Encrypted
Application Filtering, and centralized management. Our Secure Firewall
