iPolicy Networks' Next Generation Security Solutions Offer Improved Security, Streamlined Management and High Performance.
The Syscom Group, one of Taiwan's largest IT system integrators and a recent addition to iPolicy Networks' reseller base, has deployed the iPolicy 4000 family of Intrusion Prevention Firewalls to protect its internal network from today's increasingly complex security threats and attacks. iPolicy Networks' Intrusion Prevention Firewall architecture enables the rapid adaptation of defenses against new and emerging security threats while combining multiple defense mechanisms that provide enterprises with comprehensive, real-time network protection.
"Information security is more than applying patches or tuning a firewall; a security solution has to protect our company's infrastructure and assets from hostile threats without requiring significant investment in people to manage it," said Andy Su, deputy director of marketing division for The Syscom Group. "We chose iPolicy Networks' Intrusion Prevention Firewall for its completeness in providing protection against malicious attacks, including blended threats that are hard to stop with a point product. We wanted a solution where regardless of the threat, we had one system to deal with, one management system to configure and monitor, and one vendor answerable for our security. iPolicy Networks was the vendor that best filled our requirements."
The Syscom Group needed to enhance its existing network security infrastructure to successfully defend against increasing network and content-based attacks originating inside and outside the network and implement virtualized security domains for attack containment. Previously, the company was using several, fragmented security devices that did little to defend its network from hackers and intruders' crippling attacks and required a significant amount of time and effort to manage and maintain. As a leading global IT distributor, The Syscom Group operates its network like many global organizations that require centralized management and implementation of security systems in different locations while enabling easy information access and exchange.
With the growing number and complexity of internal and external attacks, The Syscom Group realized the importance of protecting critical resources, such as customer databases, technology and product data, while still allowing partners and customers access to appropriate resources. iPolicy Networks' Intrusion Prevention Firewall system helped the company address this need while preserving network reliability and increasing performance.
iPolicy Networks recognized the need for a new generation of security devices that go beyond access control functionality of traditional firewalls, to combat today's increasingly complex security threats and attacks. iPolicy Networks' solution successfully blocks worms, viruses, malicious code, encrypted threats, blocks undesirable content through URL filtering policies, and mitigates DoS and DDoS attacks. Unlike existing security offerings in which multiple point applications are bundled into a total solution, iPolicy Networks' Intrusion Prevention Firewall is powered by a single pass inspection engine that is capable of layer 3-7 packet inspection at wire speeds. It offers real-time correlation, and enables comprehensive, real-time network protection against blended threats.
"Today's enterprises are facing new challenges in protecting their networks from complex security threats and other network attacks that disrupt the business, resulting in lost productivity, increased network cleaning costs and the loss of sensitive intellectual property," said Gajraj Singh, director of marketing at iPolicy Networks. "iPolicy Networks addresses this pain point by offering enterprises comprehensive threat prevention at high-speeds while avoiding the performance and latency problems."
