"A big differentiator of the 3Com solution is its huge built-in functionality. A single X-Family platform can do VPN tunnels, content filtering, quarantining, traffic shaping and more. We have all the capabilities we need now and for the future, in one box."

Security

Today's enterprises face cyber threats far greater than just virus-based attacks. In addition to trojans and worms, there are software vulnerabilities and bugs, denial of service and a whole raft of trapdoor and backdoor attacks. In the face of such sophisticated threats, enterprises require an equally sophisticated, multi-tiered approach to defending mission-critical data.

3Com recommends a defence-in-depth approach to security, including enterprise-class Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) technology that can perform deep packet inspection in real time. Wireless IPS protects confidential business information from wireless intrusion, while switches can be employed to intelligently control application's traffic into to improve data integrity, security, manageability and performance for applications.

With unified security platforms it is possible to address these concerns, including the security issues associated with remote working – in one easy-to-implement solution. Built on award-winning IPS threat suppression architecture, 3Com's X-Family of Unified Security Platforms combines industry-leading IPS capabilities, Virtual Private Networking (VPN) plus stateful packet inspection firewall, applications bandwidth management, audio/video IP multicast routing and web content filtering.

3Com VPN protection ensures confidentiality of data by creating encrypted 'tunnels' that allow communications through while insulating the data from unauthorised access.

Flexible Network Access Control (NAC), a necessity in today's compliance-driven business environment, enables your staff, visitors and external contractors to access the network, any time and from anywhere. 3Com's security solutions enable you to carefully manage corporate network policies and combat the threat of security breaches, malware infections or compliance violations on the network.
