iPolicy Networks Security Solutions for Service Provider
 
The iPolicy Networks security solution was designed from the ground up to address the requirements of the Managed Security Service Providers and of organizations that want to deliver centrally managed network-based security to various constituents.

The distinct advantages of the iPolicy Networks solution are support for security domains, exceptional performance, and centralized management. With iPolicy Networks, security services can be defined on a customer basis by assigning them a Security Domain which is a virtual Intrusion Prevention Firewall that can be independently managed and configured.

A single physical Intrusion Prevention Firewall can support thousands of Security Domains –i.e. thousands of unique customers- concurrently. Adding a new customer is a software-based provisioning task that requires no new hardware deployment. Furthermore, a Security Domain may execute across distributed physical Intrusion Prevention Firewalls. For example, a customer with three geographical locations may link to his carrier through a POP close to each location. Security will be enforced at each POP by a physical Intrusion Prevention Firewall yet the customer’s security is still managed as a single Security Domain.

Carriers interested in delivering high-value custom managed security services to companies with sophisticated security needs value the flexibility of iPolicy Networks’ solution. Security functions such as firewall, IDS/IPS, URL screening, etc. can be individually enabled and policies can be individually tailored for each customer by assigning them a unique Security Domain.

iPolicy 7000 Series
The iPolicy 7000 series Intrusion Prevention Firewall is a high-performance, ATCA based integrated security system delivering converged IDS/IPS, Firewall, URL filtering, Antispam and Inline Antivirus in one security device.

With two chassis models of varying capacity and an array of network security modules, large enterprises and service providers can easily grow the capacity of the iPolicy 7000 series system as the business grows or security requirements change.

Alternatively, Service Providers may select to restrict their offering to a set of pre-packaged security services. Packages offered may include mitigation of DoS/DDoS attacks, protection from worm and virus propagation, restricted access to pre-set categories of Internet web sites, etc. Each package is implemented with a Security Domain and customers are asked to choose from a list of available options. This alternative MSSP model is attractive to smaller ISPs and smaller Telcos because no costly custom configuration is required. It provides them the opportunity to enhance their connectivity services with low-cost security services that generate high-margin incremental revenue. It also provides a means to differentiate themselves form pure bandwidth providers. In addition to protecting end-user computer equipment from possibly harmful attacks, these services “clean the pipe”, freeing up bandwidth for legitimate traffic. This means the service provider can add more customers without incurring added bandwidth cost.

“iPolicy is one of the most visionary firewall vendors in the firewall Magic Quadrant. Its architecture of a central session processing engine and multiple content blades that are able to block based on signatures, rules and so on is the closest to the network security ideal.”
