3 Firewall

Mission-critical Security

Offers the most advanced stateful packet inspection security. Supports the option of dual security zones— ideal for organizations such as schools where faculty and student networks need independent protection from each other, while safeguarding against

Internet threats.

High availability is included as standard, allowing the deployment of a secondary resilient firewall that assumes control should the primary firewall fail.

High-Performance Integrated IPSec VPN

Provides enterprise-class VPN support, enabling secure connectivity between offices and remote workers. Hardware accelerated encryption delivers superior

IPSec VPN performance.

L2TP/IPSec offers compatibility with the standard VPN client supplied on

Microsoft Windows 2000/XP operating systems, eliminating the need to install additional software. An unlimited

SafeNet SoftPK v5.x VPN client license is included for supporting older Windows operating systems, further reducing the need for additional software purchases.

Bandwidth Management and Control

Gives administrators highly flexible bandwidth management control so they can prioritize which outbound applications, such as voice, take precedence over non-mission critical traffic. Comprehensive web filtering capabilities offer an additional degree of bandwidth control. They ensure that the web is used only for businessrelated activities and provide an effective method of enforcing acceptable web usage policies.

Flexible Management and Reporting

Delivers secure remote browser-based management, using HTTPS/SSL technology that is compatible with most web browsers. Comprehensive logging and e-mail alerts effectively monitor network security and thwarted hacker attempts. 3Com ® Network Supervisor management—powerful yet easy-touse—maps and monitors the network, quickly alerting administrators to emerging problems.

Ease of Use

Dramatically reduces security risks by providing a comprehensive setup wizard to help prevent misconfiguration. Rapid VPN setup can create tunnels with just a few mouse clicks.

Secure remote connectivity

The 3Com SuperStack ® 3 Firewall safeguards enterprise networks against threats from the Internet, and boasts a comprehensive, high-performance

IPSec VPN capability for securely connecting remote workers and branch offices. With the optional

SuperStack 3 Web Site Filter, it increases business productivity, reduces legal and privacy risks, and lowers administrative overhead by automatically enforcing acceptable use policies.

Firewall Web Site

Filter

The 3Com SuperStack 3 Web Site Filter integrates with the SuperStack 3

Firewall to provide a flexible tool for comprehensive filtering based on keyword, time of day, and trusted and forbidden domain designations.

The filter service, available to an unlimited number of users, includes weekly automatic updates to ensure proper enforcement of access restrictions on new and relocated websites.

By customizing the content filter list, organizations can block nearly 100% of objectionable material, including most automatically downloaded file types such as cookies, Java, and ActiveX.
