Companies are seeing a rapid growth of blended and complex content-based network attacks,
such as viruses, worms and Trojans, being introduced into organizations via seemingly
Innocuous activities such as Web browsing or remote wireless network access. This trend will continue as organizations turn increasingly to real-time communications, like Web-enabled applications, Voice over IP and instant messaging, as the means to remain responsive and competitive. Unfortunately, conventional network protection systems, such as firewalls and host-based antivirus software, are limited. They lack the dedicated hardware processing
required to perform the deep packet analysis, content reassembly, and application-level screening. These capabilities are necessary to detect these threats without imposing unacceptable
delays on real-time network applications. As a result, most organizations are dangerously
exposed to content-based attacks from real-time Web, email and peer-to-peer traffic.
 Multi-Threat Security Systems for the first time provide cost-effective network-level and
content-level protection at the network core and edge with real-time performance. These
devices can be centrally managed delivering best in class capabilities. Each system’s
capabilities include virus protection and content filtering, along with network-level services including firewall, intrusion prevention, VPN and traffic shaping functions.
- Reduces number of vendors and appliances
- Provides comprehensive security
- Minimizes down-time from individual threats
- Simplifies security management
- Coordinates security alerting, logging, and reporting
- Improves detection capabilities
