Today's focus: Cyberguard releases firewall VPN for SMBs

By Tim Greene

Cyberguard has a new firewall VPN appliance for small and
midsize businesses.

Called SG560, the device has a 120M-bit/sec firewall and
supports AES encryption at 35M bit/sec. It can provide up to 110
IPSec tunnels at a time. This is enough capacity to act as a hub
VPN gateway connecting with either other VPN appliances or with
individual PCs with IPSec VPN client software.

The device has five Ethernet ports. Two can be configured for
broadband WAN access and connect to two different links, load
balancing between the two when both lines are working and giving
redundancy if one goes down. If both go down, the box can dial
up an Internet connection.

Using three other Ethernet ports, the new box can separate
traffic into three distinct network segments, creating security
zones for different groups. A business could use one for
connecting to an isolated network segment where, for example,
Web servers are exposed to the Internet, or segregate workers'
Internet traffic from that of visitors to keep visitors isolated
from the corporate VPN.

Customers can reconfigure the five Ethernet ports if they want
to. For example, if they don't have two WAN connections, they
can convert the extra port to support a fourth security zone.

The device is meant for small offices of large businesses, and
can be managed by CyberGuard's Global Command Center software so
firewall and VPN policies can be set and managed centrally,
making it easier to manage a large number of the appliances
deployed in a corporate network.

The device costs $400, and there are no per-user license fees.
