AXENT RAPTOR FIREWALL
The best in network protection

THE PROBLEM

You want to connect to the Internet, but the bad world out there wants to get in! How do you protect your own computers and network, get access to the Internet and make your systems secure?

THE SOLUTION

Raptor FireWall. A firewall that only lets in (or out) what you want.

Raptor Firewall lets you specify by user, or protocol, or application what connections to the Internet will be allowed and which ones denied.

THIS MEANS...

You could let email go to your email server, but not let outsiders take mail from your web server.

You could let your users browse out to the web, but not download dangerous files

You could let remote staff dial in, but only to a specific machine, not the whole network.

You can prevent access to anything else on your network - or for that matter prevent your users accessing anything outside your network.

Organizations around the world depend on the Raptor Firewall's award-winning architecture and functionality to secure their private networks. The Raptor Firewall's intuitive management interface and high performance, multi-threaded services, make it the most secure, manageable, and flexible solution for your enterprise Internet security needs.

The Raptor Firewall for Windows NT, Solaris, and HP provides complete network protection by integrating application-level proxies, network circuits and packet filtering into a unique perimeter security architecture. This data inspection technology ensures that the data entering and leaving your corporate network is validated at all levels of the protocol stack.

The Raptor Firewall is designed to provide comprehensive security by: hiding system and address information on your intranet from the outside world; processing all network traffic through rules that are consistent with your company's security requirements; automatically blocking ports to protect the systems that have inadvertently been misconfigured; enabling anti-spamming technology that prevents your firewall from acting as an email spamming relay while querying the Realtime Blackhole List of known spammers; and proactively monitoring and logging suspicious activity.

Integrated Virtual Private Networking (VPN)

Raptor Firewall includes an integrated VPN module that lets you securely extend corporate networks, across the Internet, to remote offices and users. The Raptor VPN solution includes strong user authentication, data encryption and data integrity to ensure the security of the information as it passes across private WANs and the Internet.

A Comprehensive Architecture for Security Policy Management

Raptor Firewall's unique combination of application-level proxies, network circuits and packet filtering ensure that data traversing the firewall is completely managed by the network administrator. This allows the administrator to build network policies that are consistent with corporate policies.

In addition to secure application proxies, Raptor Firewalls use a unique best-fit algorithm for matching access rules to connection attempts. As a result, they allow administrators to create rules in any order without inadvertently creating security holes. Only access attempts that meet the exacting requirements of an explicit rule are permitted.

Raptor Firewall protects by using a set of explicit rules at the application level. It denies any connection not explicitly allowed by a rule. Rules may incorporate a range of criteria, including source and destination addresses, type of service, authentication, user/group, and time of the access attempt.
