2 StoneGate Firewall & VPN Secure firewall and VPNs with clustering and availability together for business continuity and network security. When security breaches or system failures interrupt the flow of business information, downtime can cost informationintensive companies millions every hour. Marketplace damage accumulates. Relationships suffer. Because business functions and communications can fail for a variety of reasons, traditional approaches to information security are rapidly becoming outmoded. For organizations that have expanded their use of the Internet, a new, broader definition of network security is emerging. Stonesoft engineered a fundamentally new and different firewall and VPN architecture that provides a degree of network security and business continuity not possible with traditional approaches. By incorporating our high availability and high performance technologies into our firewall and VPN solution, StoneGate delivers the assurance of continuous, uninterrupted protection. What was once a resource-intensive, high cost, and technically risky solution from multiple vendors, Stonesoft has integrated and simplified into a single, intelligent source for security, manageability, availability and scalability. StoneGate s software edition turns standard x86 server systems into firewall/vpn appliances in a matter of minutes. Additionally, StoneGate software supports the IBM eserver zseries and iseries platforms, enabling secure virtual networks for consolidated servers while enhancing security on legacy systems.

3 Availability StoneGate Firewall and VPN with Multi-Link Technology Internet multi-homing and route optimization Automatically selects fastest available path VPN sub-tunnel failover for unmatched VPN reliability Optimized performance with VPN load balancing Built-in clustering for gateway high availability and load balancing Enables telecommunication cost savings up to 50% All of Stonesoft s appliances include standard enterprise level features such as active-active clustering, load balancing and bandwidth aggregation for multiple Internet links and the ability to transparently fail-over VPNs, all with the security and connectivity of an integrated firewall/vpn.

4 Security Manageability StoneGate Advantages Make your Internet and VPN connections reliable. StoneGate s patented Multi-Link technology provides high availability and load balancing for Internet and VPN traffic across multiple network providers (ISPs). StoneGate automatically maintains the fastest possible link to the Internet and eliminates your Internet connection as a potential point of failure, without the use of complex routing protocols or additional hardware. Set rules for the level of inspection. Firewall traffic inspection has typically forced a trade-off between the speed and flexibility of stateful inspection and the high security of application-level proxy inspection. StoneGate s patent-pending Multi-Layer Inspection technology accomplishes both security goals. With it, the administrator can configure the firewall to act as a packet filter, stateful inspection or application level firewall on a rule-by-rule basis, using each method when it makes the most sense. StoneGate rose quickly to the top of our search due to its ability to manage multiple ISP connections. Ken Winston Director of Network Technologies, Thirteen/WNET StoneGate has not only allowed us to take a step forward with our security but has freed up valuable administration time. Dominique Trine Vice President, FETA Benefit from unified enterprise management. StoneGate Firewall and VPN is managed by the StoneGate Management Center, which provides centralized, global distributed management with one single management server. The Management Center is controlled with a sophisticated user interface that can be distributed anywhere in the organization, making installation, configuration, remote upgrades, and maintenance easier and less time consuming. StoneGate simplifies policy and configuration management for managed service providers and large, distributed enterprises. The centralized management and remote upgrade ability are essential.

5 Total Cost of Ownership Lower Total Cost of Ownership Today s IT departments are constantly being asked to do more for less. Cost, and total cost of ownership is one of the first questions asked about any network solution. When there is a need for advanced network security combined with always-on business connectivity, enterprises can choose StoneGate. StoneGate offers the lowest up-front costs, reduced maintenance costs, lower support and maintenance fees and highest ROI of any high-end firewall, VPN and IPS solution. StoneGate eliminates the need for separate, third party high availability and load-balancing solutions, e.g. server load balancing solutions, firewall clustering solutions and ISP load balancing solutions. Less hardware, software, and rackspace is needed. Fewer components means lower operating costs. StoneGate s patented Multi-Link technology provides high availability for Internet VPNs, enabling enterprises to migrate from expensive leased lines to VPNs, thus reducing connection costs. StoneGate s powerful management system, StoneGate Management Center lowers administrative burdens. Routine administration tasks are reduced, freeing the highly trained administrators for more important work.

The StoneGate Platform is designed to provide in-depth protection to corporate networks with several security layers and to detect and react to threats, while ensuring constant availability. The StoneGate Management Center forms the heart of the platform, managing all the StoneGate firewall, VPN and IPS security modules, whether software-based solutions on Intel hardware, StoneGate security appliances or even on IBM eserver iseries and zseries servers. The combination of StoneGate IPS and StoneGate Firewall/VPN under the same unified management makes network security management simple, consistent, and efficient, freeing up the administrator s time to react and respond to any incidents. As all data, concepts and tools are unified across the Platform, the Management Center is able to handle event correlation and incident management in a holistic way. Using advanced tools such as the built-in Reporting Tool, the Management Center summarizes and visualizes system event data for revealing the trends and anomalies in network usage. It also has extensive customization and filtering features, thus making it a powerful aid for researching and documenting specific incidents and patterns.
