Choosing a Deployment Scenario
The STM is an inline transparent bridge appliance that can easily be deployed to any point
on the network without the need for network reconfiguration or additional hardware.
The following are the most common deployment scenarios for the STM. Depending on your
network environment and the areas that you want to protect, you can choose one or a
combination of the deployment scenarios that are described in the following sections:
•

Gateway Deployment

• Server Group
• Segmented LAN Deployment
Gateway Deployment
In a typical gateway deployment scenario, a single STM appliance is installed at the
gateway—between the firewall and the LAN core switch—to protect the network against all
malware threats entering and leaving the gateway. Installing the STM behind the firewall
protects it from denial of service (DoS) attacks.
