Tempus Technologies Offers Retail Customers Superior Data Aggregation and Transaction Handling With D-Link Firewalls | 2008-12-01 | D-Link |
| Tempus Technologies Inc., located in Auburn, Indiana, is a technology vendor that focuses on point of sale applications, data warehousing and payment processing for retail companies. Tempus needed to set up a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to pull data from Point Of Sale (POS) sites to their central database. The two-way channel would allow customers to access data in pre-defined formats as needed. Tempus needed a robust firewall solution to establish a secure VPN. The firewall solution would have to provide high uptime availability. D-Link's DFL firewalls provided Tempus with the optimal solution on all counts. After a lot of research, they found that the DFL business series offered an extremely rich feature set when compared to competitively classed products.

Reducing Costs With Next Generation Firewalls: Investing in Innovation Pays Cost Savings Dividends | 2008-12-01 | Palo Alto Networks |
| For enterprise IT security organizations, the evolution of applications and threats, coupled with the stagnation of traditional network security technology has resulted in a loss of visibility and control. In today's economic climate, however, any further increase in cost and complexity is similarly unacceptable. Some leading enterprises, however, have found that investing in innovation, and bucking the trend of seemingly never-ending appliance sprawl in network security can result in the restoration of visibility and control, and substantial reduction in cost of ownership of security infrastructure. This paper examines three different organizations, the legacy infrastructure they replaced, the Palo Alto Networks next generation firewalls they deployed, and the substantial savings they realized - cutting both capital and operations costs by an average of 50%.

How to Painlessly Audit Your Firewalls in Three Easy Steps: An Introduction to Automated Firewall Auditing | 2008-11-28 | Skybox Security |
| Firewalls are the first line of defense for the business network. When the internet started to become a critical business communications tool, the firewall became the first line of defense. This began as nothing more than a router filtering packets. However, much has since changed. The internet has become the lifeblood of business in the information age and as business grows so does the required connectivity to the internet. Today organizations struggle to maintain highly complex firewall infrastructures. With limited resources and budget to address constant expansion and change, the only way to maintain the security of a complex network perimeter is through automated auditing.

Firewall Security for SMB Networks Firewall Security for SMB Networks | 2008-11-01 | D-Link |
| Every year billions of dollars and tens of thousands of productive hours are lost to network security breaches and malicious attacks. One of the critical lines of defense against such attacks is the firewall. Firewalls protect one's business assets, intellectual property and sensitive information from outside attackers, malicious software, and intentional or unintentional internal security breaches. A firewall is a security system that protects computing resources from outside intrusions, online attackers, internal threats (inside the company network), and viruses, worms, and Trojan horses. More specifically, a firewall is a hardware or software device designed to permit, deny, encrypt, decrypt or proxy computer traffic between different security domains based upon a set of rules or policies.

Why Your Firewall, VPN, and IEEE 802.11i Aren't Enough to Protect Your Network | 2008-11-01 | Hewlett-Packard (HP) |
| Like any network technology, Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) need to be protected from security threats. Though recent developments in IEEE standards have been designed to help ensure privacy for authenticated WLAN users, WLAN clients and enterprise infrastructure can still be vulnerable to a variety of threats that are unique to WLANs. Mischievous hackers may try to attack the network, or a negligent employee may create a security breach that leaves the corporate WLAN or a client device vulnerable to attack. With a comprehensive approach to WLAN security, an Intrusion Detection and Prevention System (IDS/IPS) for WLANs adds to IEEE standards-based technology and wired network security mechanisms.

User Authentication at the Firewall Level | 2008-10-28 | Edenwall |
| This paper focuses on how firewalls can work at the TCP/IP network layer and handle a user authentication where the IP address is not considered at all. The paper will first explain the common weaknesses of existing identity-based filtering systems, detail what exists in Net filter internals to respond to it, and propose a user friendly implementation through the NuFW project. The paper will conclude with some usage example of latest Net filter features.
