We have developed and acquired a variety of technologies that secure networks and information. Our
products and services implement these technologies to protect our customers’ networks and private information,
enabling their IT administrators to define and enforce their security policies across the network. These
technologies also collect and bring together related information, monitor security and traffic flow and analyze and
update configurations, to reflect changes in the security policy.
Stateful Inspection technology
Our patented Stateful Inspection technology is a de facto standard in network security technology. In
order to provide accurate and highly efficient traffic inspection, Stateful Inspection extracts and maintains
extensive “state information,” i.e., data that provides context for future screening decisions, from all relevant
communication layers.
Stateful Inspection runs on a network gateway or an endpoint, such as a personal computer, and enables
the screening of all data attempting to pass from one network to another. By tracking each connection, the system
ensures that data passing through the gateway complies with a defined security and traffic policy; traffic is
managed according to priority; and security decisions are made in an intelligent and timely manner.
Stateful Inspection enables our products to inspect network traffic at high speed. This means that as
network traffic increases, our products respond efficiently to the larger volumes of data. Our Stateful Inspection
technology can be adapted to new protocols, software applications, and security threats. It can be upgraded and
can be run on a wide range of operating systems.
