Firewall (FAST – Fast Applicative Shield Technology)

  • Real time Firewall technology at the heart of FAST360 systems
  • Analysis of network protocol conformity, transport and applications:
    • HTTP, ftp, smtp, pop3, nntp, dns, dns udp, h323, SQLNet, snmp, flux netbios, imap4, rtsp, ssl, SIP, MGCP, RTP, RTCP
