Firewall
Intelligent Defence
At the heart of the Network Box is a state-of-the-art firewall, combining best of breed technologies into a hybrid design providing maximum security without compromising performance.
The firewall supports both TCP/IP routing and NAT (Network Address Translation), and can operate in proxy-ARP transparent mode. For added protection, the Network Box firewall protects servers and workstations from a host of network-level attacks, including protocol anomalies, connection flooding, denial-of-service, SYN flooding, as well as packet fragmentation evasion techniques. Black hole, fingerprint obfuscation and decoy technologies further shield protected networks from malicious probes.
