SunScreen SPF-200 is the premier security platform for perimeter defense and electronic commerce. SunScreen EFS complements SPF as the platform to secure all departments and sites within an organization. Together, they protect the entire organization, securing electronic commerce, remote access, and extranets.
The SunScreen SPF-200 security solution is the premier perimeter defense in the industry. Its strength is in stealthing: no IP address is seen. Stealthing makes SunScreen SPF essentially impenetrable from the Internet because an intruder cannot address the machine. The SunScreen SPF product also scales to almost whatever level is required and supports high-speed, secure communication over the Internet.
SunScreen EFS software is designed for wide-spread deployment within a firm to protect key departments and sites, as well as for deployment of multiple extranets (secure communication over the Internet between partners). It is a powerful combination of a high-performance encryption server along with a strong firewall.
The SunScreen SPF Solution offers:
- Stealthing to help protect an organization from Internet attacks.
- Top performing perimeter defense to screen a high level of Internet traffic.
- A multithreaded encryption engine to meet high-end electronic commerce requirements.
- State-of-the-art SKIP encryption to enable secure electronic commerce and remote access for employees.
- Remote administration.
The SunScreen EFS Solution offers:
- High-speed dynamic packet screen.
- A multithreaded encryption engine to meet high-end extranet requirements.
- State-of-the-art SKIP encryption.
- Remote administration.
SunScreen SPF-200
The SunScreen SPF package is Sun's strategic platform for perimeter defense, providing secure business operations over the Internet. To ensure a high level of security, SunScreen SPF uses a stealth design to protect it from attack, and state-of-the-art SKIP encryption to protect data going over the network. Its advanced dynamic packet filtering, coupled with Sun's high-speed hardware, is designed to meet the most demanding performance requirements. The SunScreen SPF solution enables organizations to deploy a premier perimeter defense today, and accommodate business over the Internet at their own rate in the future
Features and Benefits
- Top performing perimeter defense. SunScreen EFS was rated the fastest firewall in a recent Data Communications performance test (March 21, 1997) that included the top firewall vendors. Given SunScreen SPF's internal design and optimization, SunScreen SPF should run even faster. SunScreen SPF performance ensures that it can keep up with the demands required to screen large amounts of Internet traffic.
- The stealth design which makes SunScreen SPF not addressable with an IP address provides two benefits. First, stealthing makes a SunScreen SPF system more secure because potential intruders can not address the machine running SunScreen SPF, possibly compromising the machine. Second, installation of SunScreen SPF into the network is easy since the administrator can install it without changing routing tables.
- The stealth design "hardens" the OS and turns the system into a dedicated SunScreen SPF system that only runs SunScreen SPF. Hardening the OS enhances security. Since other applications do not run on the system, there is less exposure. SunScreen SPF systems use a separate administration station that can be any SPARC machine and need not be dedicated.
- State-of-the-art SKIP encryption technology provides secure network communication and acts as the infrastructure for electronic commerce, extranets, and secure remote access. SKIP protects the data being transmitted, ensures its integrity (not altered), and provides a high level of authentication.
- SunScreen SPF covers both TCP and UDP services. In regards to UDP, SunScreen SPF maintains state to improve security and performance.
- SunScreen SPF allows flexibility in logging what has passed or failed through the screen. Administrators can choose what they want to monitor and be alerted to problems through pagers or alerts to network management stations.
- To provide additional protection for the internal network, Network Address Translation (NAT) converts internal addresses to a different set of public addresses. This also helps those sites that have not registered their IP addresses. NAT supports both static and dynamic translation of internal addresses to public addresses. Since hackers do not know the internal addresses of hosts, attacks are minimized.
- Administration is done through secured, remote administration stations, enhancing security and meeting the needs of organizations for remote management
SunScreen EFS
SunScreen EFS software is Sun's strategic offering for compartmentalization, where companies deploy multiple screens to protect various departments and sites. SunScreen SPF is the best offering for protecting the corporation from Internet attack and for performing business over the Internet.
In contrast, SunScreen EFS was designed from the ground up to be deployed throughout an organization and protect sites and multiple departments inside the organization. With it, organizations can implement security policy and establish secure connections between departments, sites, or even between business partners over an extranet.
Features and Benefits
- High-speed dynamic packet screen rated the fastest firewall in a recent Data Communications performance test among the top firewall vendors. SunScreen EFS can meet the performance needs of most any department or site.
- SunScreen EFS runs on Solaris systems as a separate application along with other applications. This allows it to be deployed throughout the organization. In contrast, SunScreen SPF stealthing provides the ultimate in security in high-risk areas such as perimeter defense on the Internet.
- State-of-the-art SKIP encryption technology provides secure network communication and acts as the infrastructure for communication between departments, remote sites, and partners. SKIP protects the data being transmitted, ensures its integrity (not altered), and provides a high level of authentication.
- SunScreen EFS covers both TCP and UDP services. In regards to UDP, SunScreen EFS maintains state to improve performance.
- SunScreen EFS allows flexibility in logging what has passed or failed through the screen. The administrator can choose what they want to monitor and also be alerted to problems through pagers or alerts to network management stations.
- SunScreen EFS can be managed remotely, making it practical to deploy numerous SunScreen EFS servers throughout an organization and manage them centrally.
- To ease transition from FireWall-1, a conversion facility translates host group definitions, network object definitions, service definitions, actions, and rules from FireWall-1 3.0 to SunScreen EFS 1.1.
- To provide additional protection for the internal network, Network Address Translation (NAT) converts internal addresses to a different set of public addresses. This also helps those sites that have not registered their IP addresses. NAT supports both static and dynamic translation of internal addresses to public addresses. Since hackers do not know the internal addresses of hosts, attacks are minimized.
- SunScreen EFS is intended to be the corporate standard firewall, deployed in hundreds of departments or sites. Both pricing and packaging follow that strategy.
SunScreen SPF-200's stealth feature dedicates the system running the screen to just SunScreen SPF. In addition, SunScreen SPF requires a separate administration station, but is not required to be a dedicated system.
In contrast SunScreen EFS runs as a separate application on any SPARC machine.
