Firebox SSL VPN Gateway

Feature Summary

The following are key Firebox SSL VPN Gateway features:

• Universal SSL VPN. Supports all applications and protocols that improve productivity by 

providing users with access to the applications and resources they need, without the need for 
customization or converting the content for Web access. 

• Standards-based security. Information is kept private and protected using industry standard SSL/

TLS encryption. Users are authenticated using standards such as LDAP, RADIUS, double-source 
authentication, and client and server certificates.

• Web-deployed client. There is no need to preinstall or manage complex client software, reducing 

the cost of ownership. (Note that a user must have Administrator access on the Windows 
computer to install the client from the Web).

• Desk-like access. Users receive the same network experience and application access as if 

physically connected to the corporate network.

• Always-on access. Automatically reconnects users to the appliance as soon as the network 

connection is restored. Reduces user frustration when using public networks, such as wireless 
connections in hotels or airports.

• Integrated end-point scanning. Ensures that the computer meets corporate standards to connect 

and remains safe for connection to the network.

• Hides internal IP addresses. There is no IP stack or routing table entry, so internal IP addresses are 

hidden, reducing the threat of worms propagating.
