whitepaper UTM-1 Adopted for Security Infrastructure of a New Application Services Business2008-01-25 Check Point Software Technologies
  Sooki Co., Ltd. provides rentals, sales, and repairs of survey and measurement devices, and measuring instrumentation and is growing in areas such as development and implementation of automated survey systems. The firm has also started a new service operation providing 3D application services for various industries that use 3D measurement technologies. To enable secure use of these applications by customers from plants, offices, and research centers, Sooki installed the UTM-1 Unified Threat Management (UTM) appliance in its data center. This installation provided a firewall, intrusion prevention, antivirus and anti-spyware protection, and an SSL VPN, all at low cost. The small-scale UTM appliance Safe@Office 500 was also installed at each company location, improving point-to-point network security.

whitepaper How Cisco IT Migrated to Stronger Firewall Protection for Large Sites2007-12-21 Cisco Systems
  Like other companies, Cisco Systems needs to connect its intranets to the public Internet to remain competitive and successful. But while connecting to the Internet is critical to Cisco's survival, it also exposes the network to potential attacks from anywhere in the world. Cisco IT and Cisco Information Security (InfoSec) collaborated to design, deploy, and manage an advanced firewall solution as a critical first line of defense. There are two general types of packet filtering performed by network firewalls : nonstateful inspection performed by Access Control Lists (ACLs), and stateful inspection performed by equipment such as Cisco PIX security appliances and the Cisco Firewall Services Module (FWSM). Firewalls without stateful inspection have significant weaknesses.

whitepaper How Cisco IT Upgraded Intrusion Detection to Improve Scalability and Performance2007-12-19 Cisco Systems
  Comprehensive network security has no substitute. Firewalls are Cisco IT's first line of network defense, protecting against most intrusions from outside the network and intrusions into data centers. Firewalls are effective but limited in scope. Cisco IT needed more security at the network perimeter. Cisco deployed 35 Cisco IDS 4230 sensors worldwide. These sensors protect the network perimeter, alert IT staff when an intruder has penetrated the firewalls (or is within the firewalls), and captures data to help identify the IP address of the intruder.

whitepaper Securing a Major German Insurer Using a Personal Firewall in the Endpoint Security Solution From Symantec2007-10-04 Symantec
  Forewarned is forearmed. That could be the motto by which HUK-COBURG protects its business network and mobile terminals from Internet viruses. Only clients found to be clean in a virus protection test will in future be allowed to log in to the major German insurer, and it's made possible by the personal firewall in Symantec Sygate Enterprise Protection software. The solution not only enables the differentiated definition of security requirements to be met by the client for each employee and each location, it also means that the established guidelines on client security are kept under control. Missing updates are immediately detected and automatically carried out. If this is not possible, update gaps are 'Punished' by means of a restricted radius of action.

whitepaper Integrated Edge Security Improves Media Company's Network Security and Performance2007-09-05 Microsoft
  Arvato Systems provides communication services for parent company Bertelsmann, a worldwide media corporation. The company needed to give remote employees more secure access to Web-based applications, but its firewall solution could not deliver application-level protection. The company also could not ensure consistent remote access to messaging because the high volume of connection requests overwhelmed the network. For network protection and stability, Arvato Systems implemented a solution based on Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration Server 2006, part of the Microsoft Forefront line of business security products. Now employees have better remote access to applications and data, and the company has a more protected IT environment with application-level security. The security solution is also easy to maintain, resulting in better network stability and enhanced productivity.

whitepaper Firewall Security Pays Dividends for Arizona Financial Institution2007-08-10 Microsoft
  Round-the-clock banking has become a standard expectation among customers, compelling most financial institutions to expand their banking services to include online delivery. Arizona State Savings & Credit Union (AZSTCU) was anxious to capitalize on that trend, but not before it could ensure the security of its online transactions and strong protection for its internal network. It deployed Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server because ISA offers granular control over incoming and outgoing traffic, disguises internal server IP addresses to external users, and controls and documents who can access the Internet from its internal network. As a result, AZSTCU has been able to prevent attacks, reduce business costs, and expand its market reach with little incremental cost.

whitepaper Deploying Cisco Firewall Services Modules at Scientific Atlanta2007-05-10 Cisco Systems
  Scientific-Atlanta's network infrastructure, including firewalls, was built on equipment from non-Cisco vendors. In an effort to conform fully to Cisco IT standard architecture and design principals, plans were drawn to replace and upgrade non-Cisco equipment. In 2005, Cisco standardized the deployment of firewall solutions across its worldwide network, using the Cisco Firewall Services Module (FWSM) for its largest sites. Considering the size of the Scientific-Atlanta network and anticipated growth, the company decided that Cisco FWSM was the best solution.

whitepaper DiscountASP.NET Wards Off DoS Threats & 10 Million Online Attacks With TippingPoint Protecting Its Customers2006-10-20 01:00:16 3Com
  In May 2005, a distributed Denial of Service (DoS) attack targeted one of the many Web sites that DiscountASP.NET hosts. The attack flooded the site's server with unwanted packets, against which the firewalls were ineffective. The surge in traffic crippled not just the site, but also the entire server. As result, the sites of hundreds of other clients were also incapacitated as users were unable to access their Web pages or conduct transactions. To thwart the attacks, DiscountASP.NET contacted vendors of intrusion prevention and DoS protection solutions, such as Mazu Networks, Foundry Networks and TippingPoint, a division of 3Com. TippingPoint responded promptly and offered its TippingPoint Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), the most decorated IPS on the market.
