Product overview
NetScreen Technologies Inc.’s integrated security appliances are
purpose-built network security appliances that combine firewall, Virtual
Private Networking (VPN), and Denial of Service (DoS) mitigation functions.
Utilizing integrated security ASIC technology, all NetScreen security
appliances feature very low latency, high throughput IPSec encryption and
firewall functions, and fast DoS mitigation; allowing them to seamlessly
integrate into any network. Installation and management of NetScreen’s
appliances is easily accomplished via a number of management interfaces
including a built-in WebUI, Command Line Interface, or NetScreen-Global PRO,
NetScreen’s central management solution.

NetScreen ScreenOS
NetScreen ScreenOS firmware powers the entire system. At its core is a
custom-designed, real time operating system built from the ground up to
deliver a very high level of security and performance. ScreenOS provides an
integrated, easy-to-use platform for its many functions, including:
-
Common Criteria and ICSA certified stateful
inspection firewall
-
FIPS 140 and ICSA certified IPSec VPN gateway
-
Traffic management capabilities for maximizing
limited bandwidth
-
High Availability to ensure maximum network
reliability
-
Rich set of management interfaces, both internal
and external
-
Dynamic routing support to ease integration of
security into existing networks and to support dynamically routed VPNs

NetScreen’s GigaScreen ASIC
NetScreen’s GigaScreen security ASIC accelerates the firewall policy lookups
and encryption and authentication algorithms in hardware. This is a
significantly faster approach than a software-only approach that relies
solely on the CPU. This security-accelerating ASIC is tightly integrated
with NetScreen’s ScreenOS operating system to eliminate unnecessary software
layers and security holes found in other security products built on
general-purpose commercial operating systems. |
Reliability and security of appliances
The ease of installation and robust manageability of NetScreen’s all-in-one
security appliances is complimented by its superior reliability and security
capability. Without the inherent reliability issues associated with hard
disk drives, appliances have proven to be the best long-term solutions when
uptime is important. NetScreen appliances only require configuration and
management of the firewall, VPN, and DoS features, alleviating the need to
configure separate hardware and complex operating systems. This limits the
time required to install and maintain the security device and reduces the
number of setup steps where security holes are often created. |
