Secure Computing Sidewinder 7 vs. Check Point NGX R62
In view of the fact that firewall performance is becoming more and more critical, particularly in light of the need to scrutinize data packets at a more sophisticated level than ever before, we decided to put two industry leaders to the test.
Nearly every enterprise large and small uses a firewall. According to the 2006 Computer Security Institute’s CSI/FBI Computer Crime and Security Survey, 98 percent of survey respondents use a firewall, and 97 percent use anti-virus software.
Yet the number of organizations suffering from viral infections, break-ins and hacks continues to increase, and the reported losses can be startling. This presents a fundamental question: are firewalls doing any good?
And if they are, why are companies still losing millions of dollars and/or losing consumers in the face of negative publicity even when they use firewalls?

Malicious email volume is rising at an alarming rate, both in terms of
number and message size. Spam is now incorporated into the propagation
strategies of blended malware attacks, and increasingly sophisticated
techniques are outwitting first-generation email security solutions.
In simplest terms, deploying a reputation service at the network edge
is analogous to having a peephole in the front door of your house. You
let in people you know and trust, question the ones you don’t know, and
shun the ones who look suspicious. Just by taking these simple measures
you reduce your risk.
This paper will discuss the issues surrounding the protection of key corporate assets such as intellectual property, protected trade secrets, customer information, and regulated content. There are four major threat vectors:
Protecting Your Company Or Organisation
An organisation’s network is the core of its enterprise communications infrastructure and you need complete network access control. Today’s network applications support mission-critical functions and transactions, customer and partner relations, meetings, financial transfers, distributed access to confidential information, and much more.
Protecting the network is protecting the organisation itself and you'll need solid enterprise security systems in place.
Particularly vulnerable to computer security issues are small and SME businesses who may not have the large budgets to enable strong network access control and without the proper enterprise security management your business is an easy target to hackers, viruses and employees.
It's no longer 'OK' to use 'off the shelf' computer security systems if you want to stay clean and keep attacks away from your sensitive data.
Complete Network Control
Every day spawns ever increasing and more complex forms of attack from a variety of sources in many dangerous disguises which make it essential to invest in tried-and-tested enterprise security solutions and effective network access control methods.
