Product Overview
The Symantec Firewall/VPN appliance family of products address the complete set of needs for a
small office, remote office, branch office or small business to easily and securely get networked and
connected to an Internet Service Provider or central office. The Symantec Firewall/VPN appliance
protects your computers from intrusion. The Firewall feature makes your network "invisible" from
the outside and it turns away all unauthorized external requests for information from your network.
The Symantec Firewall/VPN also offers a complete "Turnkey" VPN solution. You can enable your
company to communicate securely using the Internet as your own private corporate network. This
allows telecommuters, remote offices, trusted partners, and vendors to access your servers while
maintaining the security you and your users require. The Symantec Firewall/VPN is designed for
small or remote offices connected by DSL, T1 lines, or cable modems.
The Symantec Firewall/VPN also allows you to share your high-speed broadband Internet
connection with more than one computer. You can use it to network all of your office's PCs,
printers, and servers quickly and easily to create a local area network. Unlike other similar home
office products, this family of products provides advanced capabilities needed by businesses such as
integrated high availability, automatic dial-up backup and virtual private networking (VPN).
Firewall - Stateful Inspection
Stateful Inspection provides protection against hackers while enabling high speed access to the
Internet. It also supports advanced functions that enable more flexible configuration. The Symantec
Firewall/VPN works with and complements our enterprise firewalls such as the Symantec
Enterprise Firewall or VelociRaptor. It is not a replacement for enterprise firewalls, but is designed
to provide the right suite of features at the right price.
