StoneGate Management Center

The StoneGate Management Center forms the core of the StoneGate Platform, providing unified network security management for StoneGate Firewall, VPN and IPS solutions.

• Manage the security solution holistically
• Utilize shared network elements
• Benefit from shared logging, reporting, auditing, and other tools

When it comes to security, organizations are often forced either to use different management tools for each security product, or sacrifice manageability to use a so-called "unified management" for systems that were not initially designed to be managed together. The result is inefficiency, higher costs for training and an overall decrease in security due to the administrator's inability to effectively manage the overall security environment.

StoneGate Firewall/VPN

The StoneGate Firewall delivers a fundamentally new and different architecture, providing you a degree of network security and business continuity not possible with traditional approaches. The solution creates a protective perimeter around your company, prevents attacks, and secures your data communications with multiple parallel Virtual Private Network (VPN) connections.

StoneGate IPS

StoneGate Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) protects the internal network while StoneGate Firewall/VPN provides perimeter protection and secure connectivity between branch offices. StoneGate Intrusion Prevention system (IPS) takes network security to a new level, both inside and outside the perimeter.

The IPS protects intranet users and data center services against advanced attacks while allowing business traffic to flow free.

StoneGate IPS is a modular, yet powerful tool to secure your internal networks. With StoneGate IPS you can efficiently detect, identify and stop network traffic abuse and complemented by the Transparent Access Control module you can easily and efficiently add segmentation to your networks, thus considerably reducing the risk of far-reaching infections.

The costs of cleaning all infected computers in the network as well as network downtime can be fatal to any organization. StoneGate IPS offers reliable and cost-efficient protection for data center services as well as prevents client-slide attacks against workstations, offering organizations significant cost savings and ensuring business continuity at all times.

Unlike traditional attacks that originate from outside the network, client-side attacks are initiated within the organization’s internal network. When users are browsing infected websites, client-side attacks come in as responses to internal network user requests. At gigabit network speeds, these attacks can cause significant infection and damage across the network. StoneGate IPS inspects network traffic and prevents client-side attacks even if they are hidden in encrypted traffic.

StoneGate SSL/VPN

StoneGate SSL VPN offers secure remote access. It is a virtual private network (VPN) solution that can be used with a standard Web browser. Contrary to the traditional IPSec (Internet Protocol Security) VPN, SSL VPN does not require the installation of specialized client software on the end user device.

SSL VPN is ideally suited for organizations with several mobile users connecting from varied locations, when trust can be an issue but easy access is equally important.

StoneGate SSL VPN provides employees with enormous flexibility to access the network securely from any location and from any Web-enabled devices such as laptop, PDA or mobile phone. The applications can include e-mail, intranet, extranet, client/server applications, VoIP, terminal services, and much more.

StoneGate SSL VPN features security, mobility & ease of management:

• Total mobility with encrypted mobile access over the Internet using any device providing Web browser
• Premium security with proxy access, secure encryption, integrated strong authentication, granular access control, continuous end point integrity control and session trace removal
• Ease of Management with management wizards guiding through the management tasks. Additionally, there is no client software that needs to be maintained on the end user's device.
