SteelGate™
Firewall & VPN Appliance
SteelGate™ is a high-performance Firewall
+ VPN Appliance that delivers unrivalled security and services in
a tightly integrated hardware package.
Advanced Security
SteelGate incorporates the BorderWare Firewall Server, which is the
most highly certified firewall in the world, according to Common Criteria,
having achieved EAL4+ with EAL5 Vulnerability Analysis.
The BorderWare Firewall Server has been protecting major installations
worldwide since 1995. With a hardened operating system, strong defaults
and a full complement of security defences, it delivers superior protection
for networks.
Flexible Traffic Management and High Performance
SteelGate provides a wide range of pre-defined proxies (HTTP, SQL,
PPTP, etc.) that support the required internet services but, being
proxied, implement superior protection to packet–filters and lower-level
traffic controls. For flexibility, SteelGate also provides the option
of using stateful inspection instead of the proxies; this supports
special needs and internal firewall requirements. SteelGate supports
up to 500,000 concurrent sessions and through-put up to 500 Mbps.
Fault Tolerance
SteelGate Firewall + VPN Appliances can be deployed in clusters that
support automatic fail-over in the event of a hardware fault.
IPSec VPN Server and Client
SteelGate fully integrates an advanced IPSec VPN server, delivering
a secure platform for all remote access requirements. Compatible with
other IPSec implementations, popular PKI products and strong authentication
tokens, the IPSec server is easily deployed for full server-server
and client-server VPN connectivity.
The IPSec VPN client runs on all Windows workstations, includes firewall
capability and NAT traversal for use behind other NAT devices.
Management
SteelGate is managed using a Windows based GUI client. With intuitive
controls and wizards, configuring and maintaining SteelGate is within
the reach of the non-technical user.
Two or more systems can be managed from the same interface, with synchronized
settings for policy-based configuration.
Reports
SteelGate includes the InsideOut Reporter. InsideOut reads SteelGate
logs and can develop real-time or historic reports of all activity
through the firewall. Ideal for monitoring user activity, it can also
be used to diagnose network issues. |
