Security policies and compliance requirements mandate the need for enterprises to deploy firewalls (FW), intrusion prevention systems (IPS) and now web application firewalls (WAF), on the network perimeter and within the core network itself. However, FW, IPS, and WAF technologies require enterprises to deploy racks of appliances and network switching gear. Moreover, no single vendor has best-of-breed application offerings in FW, IPS, and WAF. Furthermore, the scaling needs of each technology are different and generate multi-dimensional requirements. The result is increased network segmentation, network and security services complexity, and cost.

This “security appliance sprawl,” combined with the variety of technologies utilized, drives the need for a simpler and more effective deployment. With that in mind, Crossbeam developed a powerful solution: the Next Generation Firewall. Our solution represents the convergence of the latest FW, IPS, and WAF technologies, simplifying security by blending sophisticated application-aware FW technology with IPS. The Crossbeam Next Generation Firewall provides the power your organization needs, handling up to 40 Gbps of throughput performance, while offering a comprehensive security platform – without the complexity.
