Firewall


General Description

The PRI-2000 firewall is a next-generation firewall which utilizes many up-to-date network security technologies to provide customers with effective protection to their network resources. It combines powerful capabilities of information analysis, effective packet filtering, and various anti-spoofing measures. The system is based on a modular architecture and features intuitive graphic user interface (GUI) through which a user can accomplish security policy setup, user management, audit and query, traffic control etc.

Application

Widely used in financial, government, insurance, telecommunication, post, and media institutions.

Feature

Secure tunnel mechanism

The PRI-2000 firewall establishes secure tunnel using the interface-to-interface security policies, imposing strict yet flexible control over the route and direction of data flow.

User-oriented design

In contrast with conventional IP address-oriented firewalls, the PRI-2000 firewall is based on user-oriented design, capable of authenticating, authorizing and accounting.

User identity authentication

The PRI-2000 firewall supports various methods of user identity authentication including user name and password, one time password (OTP), PAM, PAP/CHAP, MS-CHAP, NT-domain, Radius, Kerberos, LDAP etc. Other methods of authentication can be added according to user requirement.

Anti IP address spoofing

The PRI-2000 firewall can automatically detect how IP addresses are being used. The system provides the functionality of IP-MAC address binding, automatically searches all MAC addresses corresponding to existing IP addresses within local LAN, effectively preventing address spoofing.

Dynamic filtering

The PRI-2000 firewall provides the capability of real-time connection monitoring. The device improves its efficiency by combined use of policy table and connection state table.

With the high-efficiency dynamic filtering technology, the system dynamically opens ports for authorized visitors and shut up them automatically when connections are terminated.

Net address translation (NAT)

The PRI-2000 firewall provides three kinds of NAT for any network interfaces: source address translation for outbound packet, target address translation for inbound packet, source address translation for inbound packet. It also provides static address mapping, dynamic address mapping, port translation and traffic balancing. No matter what mode the firewall works in, be it routing, transparent or mixing, the NAT is effective.

Transparent proxy

Using multi-thread, multi-session transparent proxy technique, the PRI-2000 firewall can manage a large number of application-level connections going through the firewall with high speed. The proxy is totally transparent to users. The proxy imposes a flexible yet strict control over application-level contents, e.g., application-level command screening, ActiveX, JAVA Applet, JavaScript unsafe script filtering and mail filtering.

URL filtering

As compared to other firewall products whose URL filter can only control user access to website, the PRI-2000 firewall controls user access to web page as well as website. Even if the user uses a third-party proxy, the firewall still can trace the final destination and control the access to it. This is a unique technology of PRI-2000 firewall.

Multiple working modes

The PRI-2000 firewall can work in routing, transparent or mixing working mode. There is no need to change the topology of the network when the firewall is installed and works in mixing mode. What mode firewall works in make no difference to functionalities of the firewall. This feature simplifies the installation of firewall, making it suit for complex networks environment.

Powerful intrusion detection system (IDS)

The PRI-2000 firewall embeds intrusion detection capability into its kernel. It can effectively defend attacks such as DOS attack. The PRI-2000 firewall can also work with a third-party IDS to provide better protection for customers.

SSL-based centralized management

The PRI-2000 firewall supports remote configuration and management. Managing client communicates with firewall through SSL link. All configuration information is transmitted in ciphertext format, preventing it from eavesdropping by malicious attackers with network-monitoring tools.

Auditing and alarming

The PRI-2000 firewall provides powerful auditing and alarming capability. When defining security policy, the system administrator can decide what activities on the network are to be audited. After that, the system will automatically audit when malicious attack or suspicious activity occurs and sends alarms to the system administrator in forms of sound, text box or email.

Hot standby

The PRI-2000 firewall supports hot standby. When there is a problem with the active firewall, the back up device will automatically take over the duty, thus improves the availability.

QoS bandwidth management

The QoS(quality of service) is a technique used to ensure that reasonable bandwidth is allocated to mission critical applications when network traffic is heavy. All supported applications are assigned different priority levels by the administrator in advance. The PRI-2000 firewall monitors traffics passing through it in real time. When there is a traffic congestion, it automatically allocates bandwidth to different applications according to their priority level.

Secure operating system

The PRI-2000 firewall is based on a hardened Linux operating system which provides a secure platform for the firewall system.
