DATA SHEET
OVERVIEW
Companies of all sizes are being attacked at an unprecedented rate.
Most attacks are deliberate, but non-intentional ones do occur. They
are, however, always serious and can be disastrous. Attacks can be in
the form of network outages, they can claim valuable bandwidth from
productivity applications and in some instances even perpetrate the
theft of company or personal information from unwilling individuals.
Because of these attacks, networks today require comprehensive network
protection along with multi-zone functionality allowing granular seg-
mentation for better control over security policies and network traffic.
Solutions up to now have included various security appliances that
were not integrated and did not provide a single means of management.
