Whether you maintain critical infrastructure, a popular brand, or valuable personally identifiable information, you can protect your organization with real-time global threat intelligence and real-time behavior analysis. We integrate defenses and management to keep your costs down.

Overview:

Key Benefits

  • Better security for networked assets—Block targeted threats and attacks at the network perimeter and within your infrastructure to safeguard the network and all the applications, users, and data on it
  • Real-time protection against mutating and zero-day threats—Spend less time on emerging threats and patching by accessing our nonstop global threat intelligence system and blocking targeted and zero-day threats before they enter your boundary
  • Detection of misconfigurations and reconnaissance activities—Minimize your exposure by closing gaps, such as access bypasses, misrouted networks, and unauthorized users on network segments, and also by detecting attack precursors, such as scans and failed logins
  • Detection of anomalous, insecure, or malicious behavior by users—Gain real-time visibility to shut down activities that create openings for attacks; monitor traffic traversing trust boundaries to immediately identify attacks that penetrate your defenses or spread internally
  • Reduced risk in change management—Achieve the situational awareness required to close system and access control gaps created by ongoing changes in IT infrastructure, the organization, and business operation
  • Automatic policy enforcement—Enable integrated, policy-based enforcement across your security environment—from network access control to user behavior analysis, firewall, and intrusion prevention solutions—to safeguard your assets from attack or misuse
  • Affordable protection for remote and branch sites—Deploy a single network security appliance to ensure your distributed workforce can access resources at corporate headquarters safely and reliably
  • Optimized security management—Leverage your existing user directory, integration, and automation to lower the cost of managing security and maintaining compliance; analyze and respond more quickly to new threats and noncompliant conditions
  • Easier enforcement and auditing of compliance—Rely on forensic-quality reporting and granular policy enforcement capabilities to ensure and prove compliance with regulations designed to protect critical infrastructures
