“If virtualization is done without implementing best practices for security, it may actually increase costs and reduce agility. Virtualization, as any emerging technology, will easily become the target of new security threats.”

Virtual Security That’s Virtually Seamless

If you haven’t already introduced virtualization into your IT infrastructure, chances are you will be doing it soon. The question is this: how will you secure your virtualized environment? Virtualization, as with any emerging technology, is quickly becoming the target of new security threats.

Slide4With the StoneGate Virtual Firewall/VPN and Virtual IPS solutions, along with a single management console to manage both your virtual and physical environments, Stonesoft offers you a complete security solution. Unlike most vendors in the virtual security space, virtualization is not new to us. Stonesoft developed the first virtual firewall/VPN for the grandfather of virtualization – IBM – back in 2002. Since then we’ve leveraged this depth of experience and introduced our virtual solutions certified for the VMware platform.

How can StoneGate help secure your
virtual environment?

  • Minimum Complexity, Minimum Risk: Unlike VLAN tagging, retrofitting physical security devices for virtual networks and other stand-alone security products that just add more complexity to your network, with the StoneGate virtual solutions are implemented in the virtual environment. Less complexity means less risk. Plus you get all the benefits of in-depth visibility and optimum network efficiency.
  • Real-time Visibility and Control: Stonesoft is the first vendor to offer a centralized platform for proactively managing your entire network – both virtual and physical environments and any mix of StoneGate and third-party devices. So no matter where you are in the process of migrating to virtualization and updating your network, you’re in constant control.
  • Complete Functionality: Compared to most virtual security solutions that just include a subset of the functionality offered in physical appliances, the StoneGate solutions have the identical features as in our hardware-based solutions – from granular policy control to drop-in active clustering – to ensure the highest levels of security and performance.
