Now with the addition of firewall technology, the Reflex Security IPS MG Family of multi-gigabit/blade-based IPS solutions deliver up to 10 Gigabits of throughput, meeting the performance requirements of large enterprises and carriers. "Industry analysts are correct in their belief that the 'Next Generation' of solutions will combine both IPS and firewall capabilities," said John Peterson, Reflex Security's VP of Product (formerly an executive with leading firewall vendors Fortinet and NetScreen). "Reflex Security's superior approach lets IT managers forgo painful "fork-lift" upgrades as they migrate their firewalls to an integrated high performance IPS/firewall converged product. The combination of Reflex Security's IPS platform (including signature-based, flow-based, and anomaly-based blocking techniques) with firewall-provisioned, protocol-based blocking gives enterprises a 'Next Generation' system--today," said Peterson. In order to secure high-capacity enterprise networks, 'Next Generation' security systems must be based on a solid IPS foundation, not on a firewall platform. The complexity and operational issues of 'Next-Gen' networks mandate they be architected on an IPS platform, which has the inherent performance capability necessary for deep packet inspection Analyzing network traffic to discover the type of application that sent the data. In order to prioritize traffic or filter out unwanted data, deep packet inspection can differentiate data, such as video, audio, chat, voice over IP (VoIP), e-mail and Web. , intrusion prevention, and detection.
