Secure Computing Sidewinder - "Network Gateway Security Solution"
Secure Computing's Sidewinder appliance is the first and only enterprise firewall to integrate reputation-based security technology. It consolidates all major security functions under a single management interface, delivering market leading, application-layer protection.
Sidewinder features the integration of TrustedSource technology, the most comprehensive Internet reputation system in the world. TrustedSource uses data collected from more than 7,000 sensors worldwide to assign a reputation "score" for virtually every entity on the Internet. This score allows Secure Computing products to quickly and accurately reject unwanted traffic. In many environments, Secure Computing's TrustedSource technology has blocked 80 percent of connections based purely on reputation data, increasing security levels while maintaining a false positive rate of less than one in one million. |
