Next-generation, integrated firewall appliance

Symantec Gateway Security 5400 Series is a next-generation firewall appliance that integrates full packet inspection firewall technology with intrusion prevention intelligence at the gateway
between the Internet and corporate network or between network segments. The solution leverages tightly integrated, industry-leading technologies to control and validate data packets as they pass through the gateway.

First, the full inspection firewall, which allows administrators to set granular policies for complete control of information entering and leaving the network, performs deep packet inspection that drops and logs bad packets. If a VPN session is active, the proxy-secured, virtual private networking technology decrypts the packet and drops it into the data stream. Next, the firewall performs session checks at the circuit layer and once again, drops and logs bad packets. The integrated intrusion prevention and intrusion detection technologies block packets that contain threats, and automatically notify the the firewall of malicious sessions from specific IP addresses, which will enable the firewall to block specific sessions that contain threats or block specific IP addresses that continue to pose a threat.
