Symantec announced the availability of its Gateway Security 5600 Series of multi-function network security appliances aimed at protecting networks from blended threats.
Included in the Gateway Security 5600 Series are three high performance models with scalable throughput, built-in hardware redundancy and integrated, optional high availability and load balancing.
Symantec says that the series integrates anti-spam, antivirus, clientless SSL and IPSec VPN, full-inspection firewall, intrusion prevention, intrusion detection, and both dynamic document review and URL list-based content filtering technologies to provide zero-day protection for the network perimeter.
"As Internet threats continue to exploit multiple attack vectors, Symantec is positioned to help customers solve their security problems by offering proactive integrated solutions based on layered security technologies, providing the protection needed today," said Greg Gotta, vice president, product delivery, Symantec Corp. "Symantec Gateway Security 5600 Series helps ensure a continuously available network infrastructure for mission-critical business communication.
According to a press release, the 5600 Series provides clientless virtual private network (VPN) connections based on secure socket layer (SSL) communications. By eliminating the need to install client software on mobile machines, the cost to implement and maintain remote secured connectivity is reduced. Symantec Gateway Security 5600 Series offers customers both SSL and traditional IPSec VPN capabilities, allowing customers to mix SSL and IPSec sessions under one license.
