FGX Series feature overview Competitive Strength of Celestix FGX Vsys (virtual system) Allows partitioning into multiple firewall systems, each with a unique set of administrators, policies, VPNs and other security control. High availability features: FGX supports multilayer high availability. L2: FGX supports Ethernet Channel and Redundant Interface (these two types of interface are not available features in SonicWALL products). This feature provides multiple interface communication capability providing good stability and disaster recovery. For instance, 4 interfaces are bound into 1 channel. If 1 interface fails, only the bandwidth of 1 interface is lost without impacting communications on the whole firewall. So it is a fundamental method to ensure the interface scalability and reliability. L3~L7: FGX supports active/active mode in HA (Sonicwall support only active/ standby mode in HA). The Active-Active unavailability will make two firewalls unable to process traffic simultaneously. One firewall can only take over the traffic of the other that has failed. FGX supports VPN redundant gateway: VPN connection is usually site to site, while FGX firewalls can provide VPN redundant gateways based on it, that is, the firewall can connect the backup redundant gateway automatically if the peer gateway is invalid. This feature is used to ensure real-time and reliability for users business, so it is a fundamental feature of VPN. IPS engine Celestix FGX Event Language (CFEL) engine provides event descriptions in plain English language. By analyzing application protocols in a granular manner, events are reported with more accuracy and higher performance. To protect the popular applications such as http, mail, ftp, dns and so on, FGX will check each element in these protocols. e.g. Administrator can control the method in http: put, get, push... Information about FGX Anti-Virus, Anti-Spam and URL Filtering ClamAV Founded in 2002, ClamAV is one of the most commonly-used open source antivirus and antimalware products in the world. Nearly one million unique IP addresses download ClamAV updates daily from 120 mirror servers located in 38 countries. Renowned for its speed and accuracy, ClamAV has been adopted by network security solution and service providers worldwide and is currently integrated within leading enterprise solutions, including Unified Threat Management Systems (UTM), Secure Web Gateways and Secure Mail Gateways, to identify deeply embedded threats such as viruses, trojans, spyware, and other forms of malware. ClamAV s cutting edge security technology is a triumph of the open source model. In addition to continual innovations to the ClamAV antivirus engine, the ClamAV core team and ClamAV community deliver daily signature updates to its ever-growing virus database of over 300,000 signatures.

At LinuxWorld 2007, the live Fight Club event, conducted by network gateway vendor Untangle, pitted 10 industry-leading antivirus solutions against each other to see which products could detect all 25 viruses in the test. ClamAV detected 100% of the viruses encountered one of only three antivirus products to catch all 25 viruses. The ClamAV engine The ClamAV signature database, updated multiple times a day, currently contains more than 300,000 signatures, including generic signatures that are able to detect new variants at a very high rate of detection. Features command-line scanner fast, multi-threaded daemon with support for on-access scanning milter interface for sendmail advanced database updater with support for scripted updates and digital signatures virus scanner C library on-access scanning virus database updated multiple times per day (see home page for total number of signatures) built-in support for various archive formats, including Zip, RAR, Tar, Gzip, Bzip2, OLE2, Cabinet, CHM, BinHex, SIS and others built-in support for almost all mail file formats built-in support for ELF executables and Portable Executable files compressed with UPX, FSG, Petite, NsPack, wwpack32, MEW, Upack and obfuscated with SUE, Y0da Cryptor and others Spam Assassin Spam Assassin is a free rule-based spam filter which also supports several blacklists, Spam Assassin is a Perl-based application which is usually used to filter all incoming mail for one or several users. It can be used as a standalone application, as a client or as a combination of both. Spam Assassin comes with a large set of rules which are applied to determine whether an email is spam or not. To decide, specific fields within the email header and the email body are typically searched for certain regular expressions, and if these expressions match, the email is assigned a certain score, depending on the test, and several headers are added to the mail. DMOZ FGX URL filtering is based on open source signature library DMOZ. DMOZ or the Open Directory Project is a web directory with almost 5 million websites listed in different categories. It is a human edited directory run by volunteers, but owned by AOL. Webmasters are always keen to get their sites listed in DMOZ as it is a widely held belief that having a website listed at DMOZ will help a site rank higher in the search engines. There certainly is plenty of doubt that this is actually the case. Because of this widely held belief, webmasters are very keen to get their sites listed and sometimes go to great lengths to get listed. 2012 Celestix Networks Inc. All rights reserved. Version 1.0
