VPN Design & Implementation
· For those firms that need IPSec VPNs for Web-enabled, client-server
applications, the network appliance from PfN Technologies www.pfn.com
makes sense. The PfN WirePower product is very attractive in business-to-business
and business-to-customer networks, where interoperability requirements
are high and where support of third-party software is impractical. This
product is a practical solution for secure remote access where IPSec deployment
is encumbered by Network Address Translation (NAT) and multi-vendor support
for legacy authentication methods.
· For firms needing a firewall with a VPN package that includes
a network security [i.e. Anti-Virus/Anti-Spam/Anti-Intrusion] appliance,
Astaro Corporation www.astaro.com
products contains six essential security applications in one easy-to-manage
package that protects organizations from: -hackers -viruses -worms -spam
-and other threats to security and productivity. This appliance
offers firewall, intrusion protection, virus protection, spam protection,
VPN gateway, and URL filtering capabilities. It includes a unified
management platform that makes it easy to deploy, administer, and update
a complete network security solution with surprisingly little cost and
effort. The software can be installed on a standard Intel PC, or
purchased pre-installed on a variety of security appliances.
