- The built-in GTP firewall enables the telecom operators to protect the mobile core infrastructure against threats in GTP and SCTP traffic
Intelligent Traffic Steering
- Route traffic only through selected value-added services that a user has subscribed to, thereby optimizing the utilization of resources
- Traffic can be steered through different services based on user ID, application ID and other attributes such as radio access type (RAT), IMSI etc.
Secure Web Gateway
- Gain full control and visibility of your traffic with the flexibility to deploy as an explicit or transparent proxy
- Reduce risks and gain granular user-level control with subscriptions to URL filtering, application visibility and control and threat intelligence
- Ensure compliance with privacy standards using multi-layered security services and high-speed logging for SIEM integration
- Leverage SSL Insight technology to decrypt outbound SSL traffic, enabling the “Secure Decrypt Zone” to inspect traffic in clear-text and prevent data exfiltration by integrating with leading security solutions
Data Center Firewall
