This is the most powerful asset in your Network Defense System. Zero day attacks can devastate a network. These are the attacks that target application vulnerabilities that are unknown to the application's creators and for which no patch yet exists. By exploiting these vulnerabilities, attackers can enter your network to execute code. In the worst case, an attacker can exploit these flaws to gain complete control of a victim's computer.

To be protected from malicious zero day threats, you must have proactive zero day defenses already in place when the attack is launched. You get this critical level of protection with the Firebox® X family of Unified Threat Management security appliances.


Zero day protection means being protected against a new and unknown threat during the window of vulnerability timeframe.

True Zero Day Protection is Built into the Firebox® X
The Intelligent Layered Security architecture of the Firebox X combines key security capabilities able to defend against whole classes of attacks. Some of these capabilities include:

	Protocol anomaly detection
	Pattern matching
	Behavior analysis

Signatures Security Solution is not true zero day. Some vendors make zero day claims but in reality their security solutions rely solely on signature-based scanning.

	Signature-based security technologies fingerprint each new attack after it emerges, so protection comes when this fingerprint, or signature, is added to the system. This is not zero day protection. By their nature, signatures are reactive; they cannot protect against new, previously unknown attacks until an update is available.
	Signature-based scanning provides a granular layer of protection against spyware, viruses, worms, trojans, and blended threats by identifying known malicious code within benign-looking traffic and files. But this technique is only one piece of a complete solution. You need zero day protection combined with robust signature-bases scanning to have comprehensive Unified Threat Management

The Window of Vulnerability. Signature-based solutions block what has already been identified. Your network is still exposed from the time a new exploit has been launched until a signature or patch is developed and then deployed.

Considering the speed and destructiveness of today's attacks, even a few minutes without protection can be devastating. The reality is, it can sometimes be hours, days, even weeks before a signature or patch is developed and deployed, making this window of vulnerability every IT manager's nightmare.

There's no easier way to have fully integrated, comprehensive network protection, with a team of security experts always there to back you up. Firebox® X unified threat management solutions provide the most complete security in their class for fully integrated, multifaceted protection from network threats, including:

Spyware Trojans Worms Web exploits

Viruses Spam Blended threats Bots

SQL injections Buffer overflows DoS/DDoS attacks Policy violations

These are functions that previously had been handled by multiple systems. UTM solutions also provide integrated management, monitoring, and logging capabilities to streamline deployment and maintenance.

WebBlocker
Increase employee productivity, prevent legal liabilities, and protect against malicious attacks from rogue web sites by controlling HTTP and HTTPS access to sites that host objectionable material or pose network or security risks.

Gateway AntiVirus/Intrusion Prevention Service
For up-to-the-minute signature-based protection at the gateway to block spyware, viruses, trojans, buffer overflows, and SQL injections.

spamBlocker
Best solution in the industry at distinguishing legitimate communications from spam outbreaks in real time, blocking nearly 100% of unwanted email and the viruses it carries. Stops spam regardless of the content, format, or language of the message – including image-based spam.

LiveSecurity® Service
Hardware warranty with advance hardware replacement, concise threat alerts, rapid-response technical support and advice, software updates, innovative education resources, and more.

Firebox X UTM solutions integrate multiple security functions in a single firewall platform

Fireware® Pro is our advanced appliance software for more complex networks, helping to ensure that your business remains connected. Fireware Pro comes bundled with all Firebox X Peak e-Series appliances.

	Multi-WAN Load Balancing - Distributes and load-balances outgoing traffic across multiple ISPs for greater network efficiency.
	Traffic Shaping - Ensures business-critical applications get the bandwidth they need.
	High Availability (Active/Passive) - Offers hardware redundancy to a standby appliance, plus WAN and VPN failover.
	VLAN - Creates logical rather than physical network configurations that reduce hardware requirements, increase control over multiple traffic types, provide richer interoperability, and make it easy to create subnets.
	Dynamic Routing (BGP, OSPF, RIP v1, v2) - Maximizes network flexibility, redundancy, and efficiency by dynamically updating routing tables.
	Policy-based Routing - Allows you to specify outgoing interface per service to enhance network bandwidth management and reduce costs.
	Server Load Balancing – Makes it easy to protect public-facing e-commerce "server farms"
