Things have changed quite a bit with the advent of the cloud and IoT. Your network perimeters are no longer always so well defined. However, the problems are still the same. A properly configured, strong gateway solution is still the first line of defense against Internet threats.
SOLUTIONS FOR PROTECTING THE GATEWAY
You wouldn't remove the front door to your house even if you installed the best alarm system money could buy, would you? No, you would still keep that door. And make it the sturdiest, most robust one you could afford. That's how your gateway should be. NWBUSA is here to help.
FW+ (Firewall+)
Even if your security needs are covered in other ways, the NWBUSA FW+ solution can still help by protecting your gateway from intrusions. Our FW+ is a hybrid solution (stateful inspection/packet filtering).
IPS (Intrusion Prevention System)
At NWBUSA, we like to do things in layers. Our gateway solution sports 3 IPSs – Frontline, Inline, and Infected LAN. Infected LAN was specifically created to monitor layer 3 and layer 7 egress traffic for infections. If an infected workstation is identified, the NWB device will quarantine that machine and alert you of the issue. Frontline and Inline both monitor every port, including virtual devices such as the VPN.
VPN (Virtual Private Network)
Terminating VPNs on a VPN concentrator is not a good solution because it bypasses the gateway protection and invites infections inside your network. VPNs should be terminated at the gateway, so that the IPS can monitor that traffic and the firewall can apply rules just as it would for a physical interface. The NWBUSA solution offers IPSec, SSL and PPtP VPN, and a host of other tunneling technologies.
Advanced Routing
The basis of the NWBUSA gateway protection is a very sophisticated advanced routing system. Our solution supports a number of dynamic routing protocols to adapt to any circumstance, which are fully integrated with the rest of the gateway solution.
