Symantec Network Security 7100 Series appliances provide real-time, proactive network intrusion prevention to protect critical enterprise assets. An innovative Intrusion Mitigation Unified Network Engine (IMUNE) combines protocol anomaly, signature, statistical and vulnerability attack interception techniques to accurately identify and block known, unknown (or zero-day) attacks and worms from spreading throughout networks. LiveUpdate technology automatically updates protection policy technology to help organizations stay ahead of continuously evolving threats. Integrated expertise from Symantec Security Response and Symantec DeepSight Early Warning services, and easy-to-understand security guidelines enable even faster response to security incidents. Comprehensive policy management features help organizations easily establish, measure, and report on organizational best practices. The appliance can transition from a detection device to a prevention tool with a single mouse click, allowing organizations to easily switch between deployment modes. Flexible intrusion prevention deployment options, including support for multiple inline pairs or monitoring both passive and inline segments on the same appliance, accommodate growing networks with varying security policies. The Symantec Network Security 7100 Series is centrally managed via the Symantec Network Security Management Console, a scalable security management system that supports large, distributed enterprise deployments and provides comprehensive configuration and policy management, real-time threat analysis, enterprise reporting and flexible visualization. The series offers three models to best suit organizations' deployment needs, whether network security is required at the edge or branch office, distributed sites, or network core or backbone. The highly scalable, best-of-breed appliances support aggregate network bandwidth from 50Mbps to 2Gbps across as many as eight network segments.
