Trend Micro Network VirusWall Enforcer is an outbreak prevention appliance that helps organizations stop network viruses (Internet worms), block high-threat vulnerabilities during outbreaks, and quarantine and clean up infection sources including unprotected devices as they enter the network, using threat-specific knowledge from Trend Micro deployed at the network layer.
Unlike security solutions that only monitor threats or provide threat information, Network VirusWall Enforcer helps organizations take precise outbreak security actions and proactively detect, prevent or contain, and eliminate outbreaks. By deploying Network VirusWall Enforcer in network LAN segments, organizations can significantly reduce their security risk, network downtime, and outbreak management burden. Network VirusWall Enforcer supports the Trend Micro Enterprise Protection Strategy.
Network VirusWall Enforcer monitors network packets and events that could indicate an attack against a network. The device scans all the traffic on a specific network segment. Deploy Network VirusWall Enforcer in a hub or switched environment.
Network VirusWall 2500 is the high-capacity, gigabit-capable device in the Network VirusWall product line. This model provides the following features:
Network VirusWall offers high-performance gigabit connectivity via its seven (7) user-definable LAN ports (five (5) copper ports and two (2) fiber-optic ports).
This device supports direct connection to fiber-optic networks. No media converter is necessary.
The gigabit platform has both copper and fiber-optic interface connectivity that allows full-duplex operation in 1000Mbps mode. This high bandwidth helps protect network continuity through failopen, failover, and port and device redundancies.
The new hardware design helps Network VirusWall to:
Achieve high availability
Support up to 1 million concurrent sessions and 4,096 concurrent clients during policy enforcement.
Network VirusWall 2500 achieves high availability (HA) using the following solutions:
Redundant ports
Redundant devices
Fault tolerance solutions
Configurable interface speed and duplex mode
Use the Preconfiguration console to set the interface speed and duplex mode.
In addition, Network VirusWall 2500 provides the following enhancements from Network VirusWall 1200:
Ability to import and export the Network VirusWall configuration file through the Preconfiguration console (for backup purposes only)
Capability to allow ICMP request from other computers for device troubleshooting
Send a ping request to the Network VirusWall device to determine whether it is still up and running.
Support for additional identifiable Trend Micro products
Network VirusWall can now identify Trend Micro Internet Security installations.
Additional device and system options
Use the Control Manager management console to specify whether to display Windows popup messages when Network VirusWall blocks a client's access attempts.
In addition, use the management console to easily locate a Network VirusWall Enforcer 2500 device for troubleshooting or maintenance by turning on the UID.
