The Crossbeam Next Generation Security Platform transforms the way enterprises and service providers architect and deploy their security services, from firewalls and content gateways to intrusion prevention systems. The Next Generation Security Platform allows companies to consolidate racks of security appliances and network equipment like switches and load balancers, virtualize the deployment and delivery of security applications, and dramatically simplify delivery of security services.

Crossbeam has the unique ability to tightly integrate leading-edge hardware with industry-leading third-party security applications like firewalls, intrusion detection systems, intrusion preventions systems, content gateways, and others. As a result, security services are not embedded in the networks as racks of special-purpose appliances, switches, and load balancers. By consolidating application processing and providing virtualization capabilities, the Next Generation Security Platform creates a security layer that overlays the company network.
