Cyberguard KS1500

Cyberguard KS1500 ... performance.

Multilevel security treats each layer of the hardened operating system (OS) discretely, separating network from system levels to provide a virtually impenetrable firewall environment - a unique CyberGuard feature that removes access to the operating system from would-be hackers.

Designed to deliver maximum throughput, CyberGuard firewall/VPN appliances eliminate the performance barriers imposed by traditional firewalls and virtual private network encryption. In demanding environments, you can depend on the KS for the performance and connectivity you need.

Set-up is so quick and easy, KS can be up and running in less than 30 minutes right out of the box. The logical GUI makes configuring and managing your firewall straightforward and simple. Yet, you've got the kind of granularity that makes it easy to implement and manage the most rigorous security policy. Customizable alerts via SNMP trap, e-mail, pager or logs let you know if there is a problem you need to check out. Built-in secure, browser-based remote management lets you respond from anywhere.

You decide how best to protect your network with hybrid architecture that lets you choose stateful packet filtering, circuit level gateway or strong application proxies that inspect each and every packet at the application layer (layer 7).

Simple to use, the integrated VPN is interoperable with a wide variety of third-party platforms and clients. It comes with fully integrated, standardized IPSec, IKE and X.509 certificate support; GUI PKI configuration for easy certificate management; support for a wide range of cryptographic algorithms including 3DES and AES; capability for VPN access through NAT to remote private networks; optional hardware acceleration; and a number of other features.

The secure OS was originally designed to meet TCSEC/NCSC criteria at the Orange Book B1 level. Today, KS carries the highest levels of independent, objective security certifications - Common Criteria Evaluation Assurance Level 4+ (EAL4+), ICSA, ITSEC E3, Firewall Checkmark and VPNC. CyberGuard is the only firewall vendor enrolled in Common Criteria Assurance Maintenance, which protects your investment by ensuring that upgrades retain the original level of certification.

Consider how quickly your KS can be up and running, the easy-to-use GUI, comprehensive set of central management features and secure operating system that provides continuous protection - not "patch" technology that needs constant attention - and you'll find CyberGuard's KS to be your most cost-effective decision.
