FireProof

The Challenge

Firewall - the challenge Network security devices Critical gateway to your network Constant service The Challenge

Firewall concerns CPU intensive First line of defense - hacker prone Single Firewall is not an option – Due to its importance in the network, you must have an additional back up Firewall – Single point of failure – Limited performance growth – Service interruption during maintenance and upgrade The Challenge

Firewall fault tolerance No Internet access in case of firewall failure The Challenge Access router Firewalls

Optimal firewall performance Limited to single Firewall performance Static load distribution Expensive performance improvement The Challenge Access router Firewalls

Requirements Downtime is not an option – Continuously available systems – Transparent Recovery – Consistent service – Reliable Optimize Security Resources – Manageable – Efficient use of network The Challenge

Security ITM Solutions

FireProof High availability for all firewalls (transparent and non-transparent) Hardware based- no additional software installed on the firewall Compatible with any OS Compatible with multiple firewall vendors All firewalls are active Firewall resource optimization Security Solutions

Defacto standard Recognized leader by NAI, Secure Computing, Axent, Netscreen, Checkpoint (OPSEC certified) for Firewall load balancing and HA Security Solutions

FireProof - the solution FireProof assures that your security resources are always available and optimized Security Solutions Local clients Firewalls Access router FireProof

Non-stop service Health monitoring – Monitor Firewalls health Monitor physical servers Monitor full data path – In case of failure, clients are directed to alternate Firewall Redundancy – 2 Units can work in a redundant configuration – If one fails the other takes over Resilience – Recovery and warm-up period Security Solutions
