Data Center Security

• Border Gateway Firewall 

Border Gateway Firewall, the firewall responsible for users' access to internal and external resources, performs application-based inspection at OSI Layer 7 level. Unified Threat Management (UTM) firewall devices offer IPS/IDS, antivirus, and URL filtering features. Layer 7 operating performance and SSL traffic processing capacity are the most important criteria for choosing an external firewall.

• Intrusion Detection and Prevention (IDS and IPS) 

Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) identify suspicious and malicious behavior. Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) block the movement identified by IDS. 

UTM Firewall devices offer IDS and IPS systems built-in, but external IDS-IPS devices have a higher intrusion detection and blocking rate. External systems also provide system administrators with rule authoring (IOC) flexibility.

• SSL Decryption 

Ninety percent of end-user network traffic is encrypted with SSL, and most cybersecurity devices cannot inspect SSL-encrypted traffic. While a few devices can decrypt SSL traffic, most vendors prefer to perform this function more efficiently with a dedicated device.

• Data Center Firewall

The data center firewall provides north-south and east-west traffic protection. The most important feature of this solution is its routing capacity (Layer 4) performance. İnnova cybersecurity experts also provide consultancy services to organizations on the micro-segmentation problem frequently encountered in data center firewalls.
