Stateful Inspection Firewalls: An Overview of Firewall Technology and How Juniper Networks Implements

Tags:
firewalls

Overview Enterprises and service providers face ever-increasing security and performance challenges. Securing web sites, corporate networks, and online applications is absolutely essential. At the same time, security measures must not impede productivity - the best solutions are those that combine high performance with top-notch security. Juniper Networks delivers a line of purpose-built security appliances and systems that integrate firewall, VPN, denial of service protection and traffic management functions within a single, comprehensive, high-performance platform. This paper describes how firewall features are implemented in NetScreen firewall/VPN products. It explains how NetScreen firewalls operate at wirespeed by integrating silicon and RISC-based processing with a custom real-time operating system, designed exclusively for stateful packet inspection.
