DATA SHEET 3COM H3C SECBLADE ADVANCED VPN FIREWALL MODULE High-performance enterprise-class VPN firewall offering integrated protection of the network core SecBlade VPN Firewall Module OVERVIEW Enterprise organizations of all sizes are having their networks attacked at an unprecedented rate. Attacks can result in network outages; they can claim valuable bandwidth from productivity applications like Voice over IP (VoIP); they may even perpetrate the theft of company data and the personal and financial information of employees and customers. To defend against such attacks, enterprises need a comprehensive security solution, including the advanced threat protection offered by the SecBlade Advanced VPN Firewall for the 3Com Switch 8800 and Switch 7900E modular LAN platforms. It delivers advanced threat protection for the network core helping prevent business disruptions, revenue loss and damage to an organization s reputation caused by security breaches. Built on the latest state-of-the-art multi-core CPU platform, this firewall module enables advanced network protection at multi-gigabit speeds. It combines built-in protection against denial of service and hacking attacks with virtual private network (VPN) support, zonal and virtual stateful packet inspection firewall, application bandwidth management, audio/video IP multicast routing, peer-to-peer traffic control and email attachment filtering. With these advanced security capabilities built on top of the same operating system that powers all 3Com enterprise switching and routing platforms, a rich networking feature set with ease of integration and lowest total cost of ownership is assured. This advanced security module helps safeguard the network from attacks and misuse, while delivering policy-based multisite connectivity for real-time business-critical applications such as VoIP, video and collaboration tools. High-availability features help ensure wire-speed traffic flow even in the event of network or internal device error or loss of power to the primary device.
2 3COM H3C SECBLADE ADVANCED VPN FIREWALL MODULE KEY BENEFITS ENHANCED FIREWALL SECURITY SecBlade VPN Firewalls provide enhanced stateful packet inspection firewall filtering, which is currently undergoing ICSA certification, to ensure comprehensive protection. Granular firewall rules allow network and security administrators to control traffic down to individual IP addresses, with finegrain control of all security services. This advanced firewall capability significantly enhances security compared to more static router- or switch-based access control lists. Security is maximized with built in protection against key denial of service and hacking attacks, while business continuity is assured with enhanced support for dynamic application specific filtering of key network protocols, including; FTP, HTTP, SMTP, RTSP, SIP and H.323 (including Q.931, H.245 and RTP/RTCP). FLEXIBLE SECURITY ZONE AND VIRTUAL FIREWALL CONTAINMENT The flexible high-performance multi-core architecture of the SecBlade module enables both multiple zones and multiple separate firewall instances to be created on the same device. With multiple security zones created for wired/wireless, employee/guest LANs and DMZs, for example, more granular security policies are possible than with traditional firewall devices. Traffic between these security zones can be fully inspected and prioritized using stateful packet and application inspection for maximum security and control. Centralized deployment of a single device offering multiple virtual firewalls in the same form-factor can greatly simplify security deployment within an organization and significantly lower total cost of ownership through streamlined training, simplified deployment and management, as well as reduced power consumption compared to multiple discrete devices. COMPREHENSIVE SITE-TO-SITE AND REMOTE ACCESS SECURITY While most security implementations do not address security within a VPN connection, SecBlade VPN modules take a uniquely comprehensive approach to VPN-based security by providing the ability to look inside VPN IPSec tunnels for attacks. This thorough inspection prevents propagation of exploits between sites and can also be used to provide protection from security risks that occur when laptop users terminate VPN connections while traveling. Attacks that once gained access via a VPN tunnel are now eliminated by this approach, offering complete security protection, ensuring that remote VPN clients or branch offices cannot be used to propagate threats into the LAN. Another unique feature is prioritization of bi-directional traffic inside the VPN tunnel, enabling high-quality secure VoIP services and optimizing other site-to-site applications. APPLICATION PRIORITIZATION AND OPTIMIZATION Policy-based prioritization ensures QoS for business-critical applications and latency-sensitive services such as VoIP, video or collaboration tools helps ensure network traffic adheres to policies set by management, and can improve user productivity. SIP/H323 application layer gateway provides the ability to identify, prioritize and protect mission-critical and stateful traffic shaping applications, such as VoIP. Traffic shaping inside VPN tunnels prioritizes site-to-site voice traffic across VPN tunnels, saving costs on long-distance phone calls and leveraging centralized business applications. Support for PIM-DM multicast routing enables nextgeneration applications such as distance-based learning, between sites over IPSec VPN real-time training and conferencing and, at the same time, helps to preserve precious WAN bandwidth
3 3COM H3C SECBLADE ADVANCED VPN FIREWALL MODULE APPLICATION BLOCKING AND WEB FILTERING SecBlade VPN modules enforce usage policies by blocking or rate limiting applications such as instant messaging (IM) and peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing that are not essential to business, which can waste bandwidth and reduce productivity. Web content keyword filtering can help restrict access to nonbusiness content, boosting employee productivity and helping reduce legal liability and security threats related to offensive or harmful web content. ATTACK PROTECTION Standard firewalls can be vulnerable to today's sophisticated internet attacks. The SecBlade Advanced VPN Firewall includes advanced protection technology to stop well-known hacking and denial of service attacks from breaking through perimeter defenses. To further mitigate the chance of security breaches, SecBlade modules include built-in filters to control or block the use of potentially high risk traffic including peer-to-peer, Active-X and email attachments. ADVANCED VPN High-performance and low-latency allows the Internet to be used as a secure connectivity mechanism for IPSec VPN siteto-site connections and remote user connectivity. The ability to inspect VPN tunnels offers complete security protection, ensuring that remote VPN clients or branch offices cannot be used to propagate attacks into the LAN. NETWORK TRANSPARENCY No IP or MAC address and no changes needed to network configuration simplifies installation, saves time and helps eliminate the risk of hackers discovering devices on the network. ENTERPRISE-CLASS HIGH AVAILABILITY Dual-chassis failover protects against loss of connectivity due to hardware failure, with automatic configuration and state table synchronization to simplify administration and remove scope for security policy inconsistencies. Dual-WAN failover helps prevent loss of connectivity due to ISP WAN link failure and, with the inclusion of load-balancing, enables increased WAN bandwidth for remote sites while both links are active.
