New StoneGate FW-1060 and IPS-1060 appliances.(Security News and Products)

Stonesoft have recently introduced the new StoneGate FW-1060 and IPS-1060 for efficient proactive defence. Client-based attacks target employee browsers inside the network, trying to use them as stepping stones to attack the organisation's internal servers and information. The new StoneGate appliances help to prevent this and to separate workstations and servers in different network segments cost-efficiently.

Efficient network segmentation

There are two ways to create network segments and to protect them: either by separating them at the network level or at the data link level. The first approach requires changes in IP-addressing and routing, whereas the second one is more transparent to users. StoneGate Firewall FW-1060 separates networks at the network level and StoneGate Intrusion Prevention System IPS-1060 provides transparent protection that does not require any changes to the existing network topology.

Proactive defence

StoneGate[TM] IPS-1060 Intrusion Prevention System is a proactive defence system designed to detect malicious packets within regular network traffic and to prevent intrusions. The solution detects and blocks offending traffic automatically before any damage occurs.

Protection against hidden web attacks

The new StoneGate FW-1060 and IPS-1060 are also capable of inspecting encrypted web traffic (SSL inspection). This eliminates the traditional blind spot in network protection. The new appliance provides protection against attacks hidden inside the encrypted web connection for both corporate network users and public web services.

Comprehensive protection with easy deployment and unified management

StoneGate FW/VPN and IPS appliances form a multi-dimensional defence system where several security layers communicate seamlessly together. This field-proven technology expands comprehensive protection to the whole network and raises network protection to a previously unseen level.
