Computer Security Devices

To protect your network computer, you can use devices such as IPS HP Tipping Point S110, BlueCoat Proxy SG/ProxyAV, Citrix NetScaler, Tufin T-500, Riverbed SteelHead. The function and position on LAN of every device, is different.

The AppDV security solution is just one part of our HP TippingPoint comprehensive application security portfolio comprised of our Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), Security Management System (SMS), and hundreds of Digital Vaccines developed by DVLabs - all designed to help you manage and protect your vulnerable applications and your network from exploits and attacks.

The Blue Coat ProxySG appliance represents the latest in perimeter defense for securing and controlling Web-based content and applications. The Blue Coat ProxySG was designed to integrate protection and control functions for Internet and intranet traffic without sacrificing performance and employee productivity.

Citrix© NetScaler© is an all-in-one Web application delivery solution that makes applications run five times better by ensuring application availability through advanced L4-7 traffic management, by increasing security with an integrated application firewall and by substantially lowering costs by offloading servers. This reduces TCO, optimizes the user experience and makes sure that applications are always available. See more.

Tufin's SecureTrack provides configuration change monitoring, reporting, and alerting features specifically for corporate firewalls. Check Point (NG FP3+), Cisco (PIX, ASA, FWSM, IOS Routers), Juniper (ScreenOS), and soon Fortinet (FortiGate) firewalls are all supported. (How about MikroTik RouterBoard?)

The product is deployed on a central Red Hat (Enterprise Linux, CentOS) server. For Check Point firewalls, the product tracks all changes made by admins (watching for policy saves or installs) logged onto a Check Point SmartDashboard or Provider-1 GUI. When such changes are noted, the central server uses OPSEC to retrieve the policy, storing it in its own internal DB for subsequent analysis. For other supported firewalls, the product periodically logs into the firewall via SSH, retrieving the firewall's policies and ACLs and translating them into the product's internal XML rule base format.

Riverbed Technology positions itself as being in the business of providing performance improvements to networked environments. Riverbed's WAN optimization products, both appliance-based and virtual, are branded under the product name Steelhead. The company differentiates itself in the market in part based on the relationships that it has with key technology partners, including Microsoft, EMC, HP, IBM and VMware. See more.
