Greater operational efficiency with native IPv6 security powered by a 64-Bit OS
When choosing a security platform, organizations usually choose between two distinct choices: simplicity or flexibility. If they go with the simplicity of a security appliance, they lose the flexibility to add technologies as their needs change. Orthey deploy their security solution on an inexpensive, flexible open server that must be modified, or “hardened,” to make it secure, a process that can be less than simple. With limited financial and IT personnel resources, organizations frequently feel they must choose between simplicity and flexibility.

Full compatibility with IPSO & SecurePlatform Feature-rich user interface Native IPv6security with high connection capacity Combines the best features of IPSO & SPLAT Increased operational efficiency A secure platform for the most demanding environments
