Embedded Firewall solution
extends centrally managed, hardware-
enforced security to notebooks, desktops,
and servers across the organization—inside
and outside the network perimeter. This
innovative combination of policy server
software and firewall card hardware safe-
guards your network assets with superior
tamper-resistance that software-only fire-
walls can't match.

The 3Com Embedded Firewall Policy
Server software provides central control
through configurable security policies.
These security policies can be used to
streamline and automate many routine
security chores, such as auditing and
filtering or blocking unnecessary ports.
Central management also helps ensure that
security can’t be disabled or modified at
the end system.

3Com Firewall PCI and PC Cards plug into
standard PCI or PC Card slots, replacing
the conventional Fast Ethernet LAN
connection. Security tasks are offloaded to
the firewall card’s security processor,
helping boost system performance. The
firewall cards operate independently of
their host systems and are practically
impervious to Internet attacks, user
actions, or malicious code. Equally impor-
tant, they're configurable only through
authenticated policy servers. In other
words, even if a firewall-client system is
invaded, it’s practically impossible to
exploit as an attack launching pad.
