CIW: The New Generation Security Appliance aims at “Application Visibility”
Currently, both the number of network attacks and levels of attack techniques are becoming higher and higher. Key businesses in enterprises are facing much higher risks than before. Addressing the problem of lack of traffic identification of traditional firewalls, Hillstone Networks brought forth the concept of “Application Visibility”. It is a concept that not only identifies applications by protocol port numbers, but also performs fine-grained application identification and policy control by the behaviors. What’s more, the threats embedded in applications can be defended at real time. To realize “Application Visibility”, a high-performance platform is needed. Hillstone Networks’ new-generation security appliance adopts Multi-Core Plus G2 architecture. Today, the extensible carrier-class hardware platforms are ready for customers. The parallel processing is built from the ground up to fully optimized for multi-core processors, and integrated security processing. The solution is brought together with the unified management system, which provided an easier way for security management.
