Business Description
We provide a broad portfolio of security products that deliver high
performance, cost effective security for enterprises and government entities
worldwide. Our products are designed to provide the strongest security and
protection available along with robust centralized management. We offer a
broad family of security appliance solutions and related software that
include firewall, Virtual Private Networking (VPN), secure content
management and security management technologies. Our appliances are built
upon a highly secure operating system and proprietary software designed to
identify network and application attacks and prevent them from reaching
mission-critical resources. We believe that a key differentiator of our
security products is our ability to inspect all the content that is
traveling over the network for security threats, whether originating from
within or outside an enterprise without impacting performance. We believe
that our ability to inspect each packet of network traffic at the
application layer provides some of the highest levels of protection.
The rise in vulnerabilities of security products potentially provides ways
for hackers to compromise enterprises’ networks and applications. Our highly
secure appliance combines multi-gigabit performance and centralized
management and provides the Company a key differentiator with current and
potential customers.
Our target customers are large enterprises, including Global 2000 companies,
major financial institutions and government entities worldwide. Our
appliances are sold to end-users directly and indirectly by a direct sales
force and resellers in the United States and in over 30 foreign countries.
We were incorporated in 1994 in connection with a spin-off from Harris
Corporation. At that time, we produced computers for the real-time computing
market as well as our firewall product for the secure computing market. We
changed our name from Harris Computer Systems Corporation in June 1996
following the sale of our real-time computer business.
Products
Firewall/VPN Appliances
We offer a comprehensive line of premium firewall/VPN appliances that
includes fourteen models designed to address the full spectrum of security
requirements – from the most sophisticated enterprises and government
agencies to the medium-sized businesses. Our firewall/VPN appliances are
built on our custom, secure operating system and combine a hybrid
methodology of stateful packet and application proxies technology to provide
deeper inspection of every packet that traverses the network.
The strength of our firewall/VPN appliances has been certified in numerous
independent evaluations. Our secure operating system and networking software
are designed to meet the United States Trusted Computer System Evaluation
Criteria/National Computer Security Center, or NCSC, criteria at a B1 level.
Our firewall/VPN appliances achieved the Common Criteria EAL4+
certification. This certification meets the US National Security Agency
benchmark for firewalls. Certain agencies of the U.S. government and large
enterprises require the products they use to carry a certification of the
product’s proven reliability.
Our firewall/VPN appliances are designed to offer network security solutions
by providing the combination of high security, high performance and ease of
use for global customers including major banks, financial institutions,
corporations and government entities. We offer a number of security modules
as part of our firewall/VPN appliances that are sold as customer-selected
options. These options include: anti-virus, anti-span, SSL acceleration,
web-content filtering, and intrusion detection.
Our appliances are comprised of specialized hardware platforms and secure
operating systems. Our specialized hardware platform provide security,
scalability and performance in any easy to use form factor.
The SG300 and SG500 appliances are specifically designed to increase
security and reduce costs associated with small-medium sized businesses and
enterprises or replicated sites. The SG300 and SG500 appliances are
available at various sustained throughput rates ranging from 35Mbps to
140Mbps.
FS Series
The FS series appliances are specifically designed for networks with
moderate bandwidth requirements within medium-sized organizations. At 250 to
500 Mbps performance and more than 550,000 simultaneous connections, the FS
series provides throughput to meet the bandwidth requirements of many
mid-sized networks.
KS Series
The FS series appliances are specifically designed for large organizations
that require maximum throughput and security. The KS series appliances
eliminate the performance barriers imposed by traditional firewalls and
virtual private network encryption and have sustained throughput rates
ranging from 1Gbps to 1.5Gbps.
SL Series
The SL series appliances are designed to be ultra-secure and deliver
multi-gigabit throughput for any organization’s most demanding environments.
The SL series appliances have sustained throughput rates of 1.5Gbps.
Our FS, KS and SL series appliances all carry the highest levels of
independent, objective security certifications – Common Criteria EAL4+, ICSA,
ITSEC E3, and VPNC.
Embedded Firewall/VPN Solutions
While perimeter firewalls are effective in stopping incursions from an
external network, they cannot prevent attacks that originate within the
protected network. Since up to 90% of network attacks originate within the
organization, many organizations are complementing perimeter defenses with
embedded firewalls that secure critical servers and host systems. By
embedding access control technology within PCI cards, independent of the
host operating system, the embedded firewall offers a scalable,
tamper-resistant and non-by-passable security solution to secure access
inside the corporate firewall. Administrators can define and implement
access rules that restrict desktop users to specific servers or network
resources based on their user profiles or group affiliations.
SG630 and SG635 Series
The SG630 and SG635 appliances are cost-effective firewall/VPN solutions
packaged on a PCI card. By offloading all firewall and VPN processing from
the host computer, the SG630 and SG635 ensure high performance and
throughput with the convenience of remote management and simplified
installation. The SG635 series includes an intrusion detection module.
Secure Content Management Software
We offer a comprehensive suite of secure content management products that
enable organizations to manage and inspect Internet content to effectively
protect their networks from security threats and annoyances. We combined our
content security components into a single comprehensive solution. The
integration of these components and the synergy of several individual
technologies improve network performance and reduce administrative costs.
The following are key components of our secure content management software:
Webwasher URL Filter. Manages access to inappropriate or distracting Web
content to minimize organization’s legal risks, increase network security
and improve employee productivity.
Webwasher Anti-Virus. Provides in-depth protection against a multitude of
blended threats at the corporate gateway while offering high performance
through our innovative Antivirus technology.
Webwasher Anti-spam. Combines the strengths of multiple complementary spam
detection methods for unmatched accuracy, delivering spam detection well in
excess of 90% and a false-positive rate of less than 1%.
Webwasher Instant Message Filter. Detects, reports, and selectively blocks
the unauthorized use of high-risk and evasive Peer-to-Peer file sharing
(P2P) and Public Instant Messaging (IM) from enterprise networks.
Webwasher Content Protection. Ensures that your systems are protected
against the myriad threats transported in Web and e-mail traffic. Content
Protection screens the HTTP data stream, filtering out unwanted and
potentially dangerous content. In addition, Content Protection filters
out-going content (Web and e-mail) to stop leakage of confidential
materials.
Webwasher SSL Scanner. Enables enterprises to apply their existing security
and Internet usage policies to the HTTPS protocol.
Each of these secure content management modules can be deployed
independently or combined as part of a more comprehensive solution.
Security Management Platform
Our security management solution, Global Command Center, is designed to
enable large enterprises and government entities to implement and manage
security policies easily and consistently across complex, geographically
dispersed networks of firewalls/VPNs and other related security products. It
is designed to allow security administrators to manage network security from
a centrally-located position.
Global Command Center allows administrators to define objects, such as a
firewall or other security device, once, and then reuse those objects
wherever they are needed. When security policies change, an administrator
can modify the objects and implement the changes instantly throughout the
enterprise. Specifically, Global Command Center is designed to enable
customers to centrally monitor and audit security policies, back-up and
restore security configurations, centrally manage software updates and
licensing and simplify routine administrative tasks.
Professional Services
Global education programs. Recognizing that the educated consumer is our
most valued customer, we have developed a portfolio of certification courses
for our suite of network security solutions. The courses include CyberGuard
Firewall Security Administration, CyberGuard Firewall Security Officer,
Global Command Center Administration, Virtual Private Network
Administration, and High Availability Administration. Certification is
achieved through successful completion of demonstration-based testing in the
classroom and online testing at the end of the course. In addition,
customized on-site seminars can be scheduled covering advanced security
topics, including specific responses to the results of external and internal
security assessments.
