The SecureIron family of products is the first-of-a-kind to embed security features into the network switch for total integration of security into the infrastructure throughout the enterprise. The switches feature Layer 2 through Layer 7 intelligence to protect against many forms of network and application level attacks at multi-gigabit speeds to deliver unparalleled security performance at LAN rates. At the perimeter, the SecureIron traffic managers deliver critical security augmentation to traditional firewalls and optimize application performance by maximizing utilization of ISP WAN bandwidth and firewall capacity with advanced traffic management features.
