BorderManager Firewall Services | ||||||||
Protect Confidential Data and Manage User AccessUsing BorderManager Firewall Services, the security foundation of the BorderManager Enterprise Edition suite, you can protect confidential data and manage user access to intranet and Internet content. You can use BorderManager Firewall Services by itself or to augment other existing firewall protection. BorderManager Firewall Services includes the following components:
BorderManager Firewall Services has also been certified by the International Computer Security Association (ICSA). ICSA certification signifies that the product has passed the most comprehensive security vulnerability tests in the industry, assuring consumers the product has met a definable quantitative level of risk reduction against a known set of threats. Customers needing to implement a firewall solution can be assured that BorderManager Firewall Services meets the highest security standards available. Benefits
Monitor Access to Both Your Private Network and the Public InternetYou can configure BorderManager Firewall Services to keep an access control log which documents all packets that are accepted or rejected by Novell's circuit-level gateways and the HTTP proxy. Protect Internal BordersInsider attacks are the most common threat to network security. As a defense against insider attacks, BorderManager Firewall Services enables you to protect your internal Web servers. Using the BorderManager snap-in module for the NetWare� Administrator (NWAdmin), you can grant users rights to information on specific servers. You can post sensitive material and restrict access to that information as needed; only users with explicit rights to the information can access it. Receive Alerts about Security ViolationsA core feature of BorderManager Firewall Services is an alert mechanism that can immediately notify you of security violations. You can customize this feature by specifying whom you want to be alerted, and whether the alerts should be delivered by pager, e-mail, or messages sent through a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)-compliant management application such as Novell's ManageWise�. Enjoy Single Sign-OnWith BorderManager Firewall Services, users running Novell's 32-bit client software no longer need to perform a separate log in to the HTTP proxy; they are automatically authenticated to the HTTP proxy when they log in to NDS. Single sign-on greatly reduces the chances that network security will be compromised as a result of someone discovering usernames and passwords. Users not running Novell's 32-bit client software do have to log in to the HTTP proxy; however, because Firewall Services 3 supports a SOCKS v4 and v5 gateway and a number of authentication methods--including real NDS authentication and authentication using SSL--these users can use their NDS username and password to do so. Provide Comprehensive, User-Level Application Proxy SupportBorderManager Firewall Services includes HTTP, FTP, Gopher, Telnet, Mail, News, Real Audio/Video, DNS, and generic UDP and TCP application proxies. With the generic UDP and TCP application proxies you can create your own proxies for any UDP or TCP applications for which BorderManager Enterprise Edition 3 does not yet provide a specific proxy. In addition, because Firewall Services 3 includes the transparent HTTP proxy, you will not need to configure the browser on individual workstations in order to use the HTTP proxy. Add Firewall Solutions from Other VendorsBorderManager Firewall Services includes two circuit-level gateways: a SOCKS v4 and v5 gateway and the Novell� IP Gateway. With the SOCKS gateway you can configure Firewall Services 3 as a component of a firewall solution, working with firewalls from other vendors. Support All Popular ClientsThrough the SOCKS gateway the BorderManager Enterprise Edition 3 firewall server supports NetWare, NT, and UNIX SOCKS clients. The Novell IP Gateway, which uses native MS Winsock 2.0, includes both an IP/IP and an IPX/IP gateway. With the Novell IP Gateway, all IP and IPX clients can access TCP/IP services with transparent authentication to BorderManager Firewall Services. Integrate Additional Filters Developed by Third PartiesBorderManager Firewall Services provides a set of application programming interfaces (APIs) you can use to integrate additional filters developed by third parties. In the future Novell partners will offer a variety of third-party filters, including anti-virus filters and filters providing protection against renegade Java and ActiveX applications. Firewall Services 3 also includes a trial version of CyberPatrol, an industry-leading content filter that can deny outgoing access to selected Internet Web sites based on content. Prevent Intruders from Initiating Sessions with New FiltersThe stateful packet filter engine included with BorderManager Firewall Services looks at the address of a packet along with the context of the session in which the packet is being sent to identify suspicious packets. The stateful filter also automatically creates a return path for traffic flowing from the specified source to the specified destination port number and address. Using this capability, you can allow return traffic from a particular port number and address while blocking traffic originating from the same. By setting Firewall Services's acknowledge (ACK) bit filter you can prevent incoming TCP requests packets from entering your company's network. This prevents intruders from initiating TCP sessions with internal servers or clients, while still allowing internal users to initiate TCP sessions with the outside world. In addition, setting the ACK bit filter protects your network from common attacks, such as synchronize (SYN) flooding. Hardware RequirementsServers
