Cisco – IronPort named in Gartner’s ”Leaders” Quadrant for Secure Web Gateway












Cisco – IronPort named in Gartner’s ”Leaders” Quadrant for Secure Web Gateway.
The SWG market continues to experience solid growth as enterprise customers scramble to improve defenses from an increasingly hostile Internet and safely use increasingly interactive Web applications.

Cisco – IronPort Web Security Appliance:

IronPort (a Cisco-owned company) designed its S-Series proxy/cache from the ground up to address the multifunction requirements of a modern SWG and the scalability needs of demanding large enterprise customers. The S-Series appliance is rapidly maturing and experiencing very solid growth in the larger enterprise proxy/cache market. Cisco recently acquired the pioneering SWG SecaaS company ScanSafe. ScanSafe continues to execute well and has the largest market share in the SecaaS market including several organizations with well more than 100,000 seats. ScanSafe is expected to form the basis of an increasing array of Cisco SecaaS offerings, starting with the addition of e-mail. Cisco's credibility with the network operations team, the progressive development and market growth of the S-Series and the acquisition of the leading SecaaS provider moved Cisco into the Leaders quadrant this year. Cisco/IronPort S-series is a strong shortlist inclusion for large enterprise customers, while the ScanSafe solution is strong for any enterprise size. The eventual integration of these two will make a powerful hybrid combination.

Cisco – IronPort Web Security Appliance Strengths:

  1. The S-Series provides good on-box malware detection. It provides parallel scanning capabilities across multiple verdict engines for inbound as well as outbound security and content scanning. Signature databases are offered from Webroot and McAfee, and can be run simultaneously.

  2. Cisco/IronPort's URL categorization engine is augmented with a dynamic classification engine for unclassified sites and user-generated content. The S-Series also offers application control using application signatures to identity and block/allow a large collection of Web-based applications, including Skype and popular IM applications.

  3. IronPort has numerous features to enhance the scalability of the S-Series for demanding large enterprise needs including native Active-Active clustering, centralized management for up to 150 servers per management server, appliances that can support up to 1.8 terabytes of storage with hot-swappable, Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) drives and RAID 10 configuration and RAID1 mirroring, six 1Gb network interface as well as a fiber option.

  4. ScanSafe's Web-based management interface is clean and simple to use, even for nontechnical users. Customers commented on the ease of deployment in migrating to the ScanSafe service. The graphical dashboard is hyperlinked to filtered log views.

  5. ScanSafe offers simple outbound DLP functionality (dictionary keyword matching, named file detection and preconfigured number formats), and file hash matching can integrate with some enterprise DLP vendors.

Introducing Fortinet FortiAP Secure Wireless Access











FortiAP-220A – Secure Wireless LAN Access for the enterprise.
This new line of enterprise class, controller-managed Access Points (AP) extend the FortiGate Unified Threat Management (UTM) advantages to wireless networks. The FortiAP access points employ latest IEEE 802.11n-based wireless chip technology to offers high-performance wireless access, with integrated wireless monitoring and multiple virtual AP support on each radio. Our new thin access points in conjunction with a rich family of controllers provide a Fortified wireless space for customers. The radio operation, channel assignment, and transmit power is centrally controlled by FortiGate controllers to further simply deployment and ongoing management.

Each FortiAP also tunnels all its traffic to the wireless controller integrated into every FortiGate platform (above model 50.) This traffic undergoes identity-aware firewall policies and UTM engine inspection and only authorized wireless traffic is forwarded. The FortiGate deep inspection engine can identify applications at Layer 7 and rate-limit non-business critical applications. From a single console you can control network access, update policies quickly and easily, and monitor compliance. Purpose-built for today's demanding networking environments, the FortiAP-Series builds on Fortinet's years of experience in delivering safe, secure wired and wireless access.

FortiAP and FortiGate Wireless Controllers Deliver a Powerhouse Security Solution:

  • Authentication: Strongest authentication with WPA2 enterprise and integrated Captive Portal

  • Layer 7 Deep Inspection: Enables application prioritization on critical wireless bandwidth

  • Policy Compliance: Identity-aware policies along with Rogue AP detection and reporting, granular endpoint control, audit-ready reports, specific measurable analysis

  • Lower TCO: Flexible deployment options and ability to leverage existing FortiGate deployment lowers TCO by minimizing need to reconfigure network controllers or learn new applications

  • Capacity: 802.11n technology and rich selection of FortiGate controllers deliver significantly higher scalability options than the competition
