Security Expansion Layers Beyond the Firewall

Overview

Your network security can be expanded well beyond your connection to the Internet. Three additional security perimeters now can be leveraged in your security model. Throughout this document, we'll be reviewing the effects on traffic flow and the security benefits. Some major benefits of combining the new perimeters in your infrastructure are, increased defense against nearly any scale Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) assault; transparently enhancing the serving capacity of your site; making your systems invisible to the general Internet; patch and upgrade your systems on your schedule, not the schedule of the latest vulnerability. This paper provides some major benefits of combining the new perimeters in your customer's infrastructure.
