Perimeter Solutions

Perimeter security solutions are a key and still relevant component of the layered security model. The perimeter represents the point at which external traffic gains initial access to the network as well as the point through which internal traffic traverses the Internet.
With the diversity of traffic that the perimeter represents, the security solution must protect against a wide range of attacks from malicious users trying to penetrate the network, DDoS and DoS attacks and sophisticated viruses and application level attacks that target vulnerabilities that have not been patched. Additionally employee web access and email usage needs to be monitored and controlled to protect the enterprise from potential litigation and the network from inadvertent downloads of viruses, malware or Trojans.
Armadillo can provide a comprehensive suite of solutions to protect the perimeter ranging from posture checking SSL VPNs to next generation firewalls and IPS.

SSL VPN
SSL VPN

SSL VPN solutions offer a way to extend corporate network resources to remote users with access to the Internet and a web browser. Pre-login checks and posture checking of the connecting device as well as the ability to authenticate the user using multiple-factors all add together to create a highly secure and flexible remote access solution.

Firewall
Firewalls and Next Generation Firewalls

2nd Generation firewall technology is generally referred to as stateful packet inspection as it maintains records of all connections passing through the firewall. This type of firewall can help prevent attacks which exploit existing connections, or certain Denial-of-service attacks.
Next Generation firewalls work on the application level of the TCP/IP stack and may intercept all packets traveling to or from an application. They block other packets and in principle, application firewalls can prevent all unwanted outside traffic from reaching protected machines.

IPS
Intrusion Prevention (IPS)

Zero Day attacks, SQL injection, Distributed / Denial of Service (D/DoS), malformed and multi-encoded requests, these are just a few of the attacks and threats that an Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) must be able detect and stop. Without IPS at the perimeter, threats and attacks can pass through traditional firewalls undetected leading to loss of service, data theft or reputational damage.
