Implementing and maintaining perimeter network security is becoming increasingly complex. Growing application sophistication results in simple network firewalls no longer being able to provide effective security. In addition, compliance and regulatory requirements coupled with corporate usage policies are driving the need to control and audit outbound communications. These pressures have driven the evolution of perimeter security products from first generation, simple perimeter firewalls to second generation solutions which includes a growing range of application-specific security appliances.
Second generation solutions are limited because each application-specific appliance has its own management and logging interface and in all likelihood comes from a different vendor. This makes it difficult to establish a common security standard. This becomes even more difficult when security appliances must implement, enforce and audit regulatory controls without a unified policy capability. Borderware Infinity Platform addresses this problem as a next generation solution.
BorderWare Infinity Platform is the first truly integrated content security platform that delivers inbound security controls, outbound compliance controls and sophisticated logging and auditing for the complete range of commonly used messaging applications including Email, Instant Messaging (IM) and browser-based applications (Web and blogs).
With the BorderWare Infinity Platform a common set of security and policy controls can be applied to all messaging traffic in a single product with a single policy engine and a single set of logging and auditing tools. A user attempting to send unauthorized information (a simple message or complex document) via email may resort to IM or even posting that information to a blog only to find that all attempts are blocked by the same policy.
