Enabling Content Security

Organizations depend on point content security tools like anti-virus systems, URL filters and application firewalls to enforce security policies, as well as protect against attacks and malicious activity.

Typically deployed as inline devices, each independent content security tool can undermine the operation of even the best of defense architectures, drive up scaling costs and introduce security management and deployment challenges. This happens because every new tool can introduce single points of failure, potential performance bottlenecks and overloads.

Without resolving the requirements of combined content security resources and addressing limited security performance, it is impossible to safeguard the enterprise and get the most out of your content security tools.

Get Your Content Security Tools to Work Together

Overcome the security/performance tradeoff for fault-tolerant, customizable and highly scalable defense with Radware’s content security enablement solution. This solution, which optimizes operations across all combined content security tools, transforms a collection of independent enterprise content security tools into a unified, fully switched-based architecture.

• Defend your system continuously. Advanced health monitoring and traffic redirection guarantee the availability of the combined content security tools by redirecting traffic only to operational tools, ensuring non-stop defense.
• Expand your system’s capacity seamlessly without any service interruption. With this solution, it is simple to add another content security device to the farm without any security service interruption.
• Eliminate the security/performance tradeoff. Multi-Gigabit speed security switching throughputs enable the highest performing defense operations across aggregated security tools.
• Increase the overall throughput of your system by up to 500 percent. By coupling content pre-screening, traffic bypassing and secure socket layer (SSL) offloading, this solution reduces and offloads a significant percentage of traffic from content security tools.

Network administrators can now define granular security policies to meet custom security needs through controlling security enforcement on the traffic by user, content type, network segments and additional physical and logical criteria.

In this way, you can extract more value from each security tool while delivering higher performance defense across your entire security architecture.
