Palo Alto Networks offers a full line of next-generation security appliances that range from the PA-200, designed for enterprise remote offices, to the PA-7050, which is a modular chassis designed for high-speed datacenters. Our platform architecture is based on our single-pass software engine and uses function-specific processing for networking, security, threat prevention, and management to deliver predictable performance. The same firewall functionality that is delivered in the hardware appliances is also available in the VM-Series virtual firewall, allowing you to secure your virtualized and cloud-based computing environments using the same policies applied to your perimeter or remote office firewalls.

An Unrivaled Class in Security

WatchGuard's Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) advances the state of the art in security, manageability, and compatibility with real-world business environments. WatchGuard's NGFW products provide true line-speed security inspection on all traffic and support multi-gigabit packet filtering throughput. In addition, the NGFW line provides Application Control; connects offices via unique drag-and-drop VPN; connects people via SSL and IPSec VPN; and gives the enterprise unparalleled visibility into real-time and historical user, network, and security activities. With WatchGuard's NGFW, businesses can define, enforce, and audit strong security and acceptable use policies, resulting in increased employee productivity and less risk to critical intellectual property or customer data.

Key Characteristics:

• High performance security inspection that blocks attacks and unwanted traffic without hindering mission-critical Internet usage.
• Best secure throughput in its class, with a very broad feature set and the best real-time visibility tools.
• Supports over 1,800 applications, more than any other Next-Generation Firewall.

What is a Next-Generation Firewall?

A platform for network traffic inspection and network security policy enforcement, with the following minimum features:

• Standard firewall capabilities: Packet filtering, network address translation (NAT), stateful protocol inspection, Virtual Private Networking
• Integrated Network Intrusion Prevention (IPS)
• Application Awareness and Control
• Additional Intelligence: Directory integration to tie security policies to users and groups; cloud-based reputation services to stop traffic from dangerous sources
• Real-time and historical visibility into user, network, and security activity

Overview McAfee Firewall Enterprise defends critical assets, such as regulated data repositories (customer, financial, and healthcare data), email and web servers, extranets, and data centers. This proxy-based firewall also offers application visibility and deep application controls for defense, delivers strong policy-based controls, blocks the latest threats, and eliminates unwanted traffic. Firewall Enterprise identifies users and sees the host applications actually used to initiate network connections. A first for the network security industry, this unique host and firewall integration works to identify potential anomalies and threats throughout the inside of an organization’s network.

Advanced firewall security capabilities, such as application identification, reputation-based global intelligence, automated threat feeds, encrypted traffic inspection (SSH/SSL), intrusion prevention, antivirus, and content/URL filtering, block attacks before they occur. Unlike other solutions, McAfee includes these additional security services at no additional charge.

Firewall Enterprise also includes enhanced firewall security powered by McAfee Global Threat Intelligence (GTI). McAfee GTI is a comprehensive cloud-based threat intelligence service. Already integrated into McAfee security products, it works in real time, 24 hours a day, to protect customers against cyberthreats across all vectors — file, web, message, and network. McAfee GTI offers the broadest threat data, most robust data correlation, and most complete product integration in the industry. McAfee’s GTI network allows enabled products to evaluate threats on multiple vectors in real time, leading to faster identification of threats and higher capture rates. Firewall Enterprise uses the McAfee GTI network connection reputation service to identify domains, IP addresses, and ports that may be hosting malware attacks, and block those attacks. Firewall Enterprise also uses web reputation to identify URLs that may be infected or hosting malware attacks, as well as sites hosting undesirable content.

McAfee also offers proven centralized management, right-click integration with ePolicy Orchestrator (McAfee ePO) software for endpoint data and mature migration tools to move from legacy firewalls to ours. Firewall Enterprise fully supports McAfee’s SIEM solutions too, including McAfee Enterprise Security Manager and McAfee Event Reporter, providing customizable views and reports for all firewalls across a customer’s global network. This high-assurance firewall solution offers very flexible deployment options — from virtualized software to custom-built hardware to availability on the Crossbeam high-performance platform and running on CloudShield’s trusted cyber platform. Firewall Enterprise is a best fit for organizations that need high-assurance security to protect critical assets inside the network as part of a layered defense strategy.

McAfee Firewall Enterprise Control Center (sold separately) — Offers centralized, enterprise-class network firewall policy management for global-scale deployments.

The Dell™ SonicWALL™ E-Class Network Security Appliance (NSA) Series is an industry first—using patented Reassembly-Free Deep Packet Inspection™* (RFDPI) technology in combination with multi-core specialized security microprocessors to deliver gateway anti-virus, anti-spyware, intrusion prevention and Application Intelligence at high speed—without sacrificing network performance.

Multi-core performance architecture.

The Dell SonicWALL E-Class NSA Series delivers powerful threat prevention against a vast spectrum of network attacks with unprecedented speed, thanks to multi-core performance architecture. Through the concurrent use of up to 16 specialized security processing cores, the E-Class NSA is engineered to provide breakthrough deep packet inspection and granular network intelligence over real-time network traffic without impacting network performance. Utilizing the processing power of these multiple cores in unison dramatically increases throughput and simultaneous inspection capabilities while lowering overhead impact.

Taking protection to new levels of control is the Dell SonicWALL Application Intelligence Service, a set of customizable protection tools that empowers administrators with precise control over network traffic. This configurable set of granular application-specific policies can automate bandwidth management, control internal and external Web access, restrict transfer of specific files and documents, scan email attachments through user-configurable criteria and support custom signatures.

Deployment flexibility.

Designed for highly redundant operations, E-Class NSA appliances are ideal solutions for wired or wireless deployments requiring high-speed access and heavy workgroup segmentation. With integrated support for standards-based VoIP, virtual local area networks (VLANs), enterprise-class routing and quality of service (QoS), E-Class NSAs increase deployment flexibility and enhance productivity.

Dynamic protection.

Dynamic threat protection, content filtering and Application Intelligence services are continually updated on a 24x7 basis to maximize security and decrease cost. IT productivity is increased by eliminating ad-hoc patch management for servers and workstations, automating the application of new protection signatures and removing the necessity to manually update security policies.
