Firewall Acceleration Over ATM

Overview Firewalls are not new; but high-performance firewalls are. Historically, firewalls used software to examine every packet and then make the decision to forward or drop the packet. This made them slow.With an IP/ATM firewall accelerator, cells of the first packet are forwarded to the firewall control processor (FCP), which consults its filtering policies to determine whether to forward, drop or monitor the packet.Forwarded packets are re-injected into the cell stream, and the FCP informs the firewall inline processor of the action to take on subsequent traffic for this flow. One firewall accelerator using this technology offers a choice of OC-3c or OC-12c interfaces, performing line-rate firewalling at either speed.

Security Q&A: Your questions answered (Part 1)

There are a number of desktop encryption packages available that integrate into mail clients, and of course attachments can be password-protected, but this may in turn cause a problem with filtering or control software.

To forge an effective security policy, forget the firewall

And it will be firewalls that grow at the most rapid rate. Behind the firewall you've got to have intrusion detection systems so you can monitor external and internal users. People who trust solely in firewalls have a false sense of security.

He told silicon.com: "We actually have customers who look at information security in an even stricter sense - say no component should exist without a firewall and actually distribute BlackBerrys amongst multiple servers with multiple firewalls.

Logic of Logical rubbished

Gunter Ollmann, principle consultant at ISS, said overheads will definitely rise because of equipment, licensing costs of individual firewalls and the time taken to monitor the tools. Presumably this method is to increase the market for firewalls.
