Hillstone Networks Targets Cyberattacks at Network Edge with High-End Next Generation Firewall Offerings

Hillstone Networks | August 25, 2022 | Read time : 03:00 min

Hillstone Networks
Hillstone Networks, an innovative and accessible cybersecurity solutions provider, today unveiled new models in the Hillstone Networks A-Series Next Generation Firewalls (NGFW), the A7600 and A6800, to help enterprises secure their expanding network edge, deliver powerful network security capabilities, and drive sustainability with solutions in a compact 1RU form factor.

According to IBM’s Cost of a Breach 2022 report, 83% of organizations studied have had more than one breach. Cyberattacks are not abating, and the cost, damages and recovery from a single breach continue to rise. Against an aggressive cyberattack backdrop, the volume and complexity of traffic in today’s IT environments continue to exponentially increase due to the expansion of different services such as videos, apps, and cloud-based-everything. With increased connectivity to services comes an increased complexity of vulnerabilities to secure against.

Secure An Expanded Network Edge with Hillstone A-Series Next Generation Firewalls

Enterprises need high-performing next-generation firewalls to meet today’s bandwidth requirements, service levels, and defend against more advanced threats. As the network edge expands from the traditional on-premises network perimeter, IT teams now must secure unforeseen levels of depth, as all layers of the IT stack must be secured at the edge.

Minimize the Speed versus Security Trade-off with Proprietary Hardware Acceleration Engine

IT teams regularly compromise one need over another, based on budget or resources. Hillstone’s proprietary Hardware (HW) Acceleration Engine offloads network traffic from the processor, allowing more resources to be dedicated for comprehensive security services, bringing streamlined threat detection and prevention capabilities to high-traffic applications and scenarios. The HW Acceleration Engine delivers ultra-low latency in network packet forwarding, allowing the NGFW to sift through and secure even the most latency-sensitive applications, including multimedia streaming, broker services, and other high-volume transactions.

Native Cyberresilience Combined with High Throughput/Low Latency Deliver on App and Customer Experience

Raw processing speed, with throughputs of 200 Gbps and 280 Gbps, allow for packet forwarding within a few microseconds, delivering quality of service across networks. Enterprise-grade security features come native with these offerings, including comprehensive and advanced threat protection for known and unknown malware with multiple security services, including Intrusion Prevention, IP Reputation, URL Filtering, Anti-Spam, Anti-Virus, Cloud Sandbox, Botnet C2, among others.

“Because today’s network traffic across all applications and services is increasing both in complexity, and in volume across hybrid and multi-cloud deployments, a high performing NGFW is no longer optional – it is now mandatory. “Today’s data centers, edge locations, service providers are looking for a powerful solution that delivers on multiple fronts – security, performance, and customer experience. The new NGFW offerings deliver the on the needs of our customers today with the flexibility of multiple deployment models.”

Tim Liu, co-founder & CTO, Hillstone Networks

The A-Series NGFW is a solid platform for enterprise customers to enable an SD-WAN solution to bridge connectivity and security needs. The integration consolidates network VPN and security in one device or client, allowing for a faster, lower-cost and more secure local internet connection at remote locations. In addition, customers can also unlock a Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) solution, to meet remote access security requirements, including identity-based, least-privileged secure access, as well as context-aware, adaptive access control, enhancing both security and effectiveness for the remote connections.

Lookout Launches New Endpoint Agents to Facilitate Full Replacement of Legacy Virtual Private Networks

Businesswire | July 26, 2023

Lookout, Inc., the endpoint-to-cloud security company, today announced new Windows and macOS endpoint agents for its Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) solution, Lookout Secure Private Access, that facilitate the full replacement of overextended virtual private networks (VPNs) with cloud-delivered security. Businesses can now fully realize the benefits of a zero trust architecture while ​​dramatically simplifying network design. According to Gartner, at least 70% of new remote access deployments will be served mainly by ZTNA instead of VPN services by 2025 – up from less than 10% at the end of 2021.1 Early ZTNA products offer only limited traffic forwarding capabilities. Legacy VPN solutions, on the other hand, support an expansive set of protocols and complex use cases, making full VPN replacement impractical in many enterprise environments. IT security teams are often forced to run both ZTNA and VPN architectures simultaneously in support of certain legacy applications, such as VoIP phones. This constraint leads to a complex network design that's costly to operate and maintain. Lookout's new endpoint agents for Windows and macOS facilitate the full transition to zero trust architecture with support for traffic steering at both the network and application levels. When deployed in conjunction with cloud-delivered Lookout Secure Private Access, IT security teams can now fully replace the myriad of use cases supported by legacy VPNs, taking full advantage of the benefits a Zero Trust Architecture offers. The core principle behind Zero Trust is “never trust, always verify.” All users and devices are considered potential threats and must be continuously verified and restricted to only the resources needed to complete a required task. VPNs, on the other hand, take an all-or-nothing approach to connectivity by allowing users to authenticate only once and roam freely throughout the network thereafter. This full network-level access sets the stage for lateral attacks. If a bad actor, or malware, can make it past the VPN, they have full access to all applications and sensitive data on the corporate network. Lookout Secure Private Access with Windows and macOS endpoint agents provide important security benefits, including: Unparalleled visibility into private application traffic: IT security teams can better understand how their users interact with private applications, with visibility up and including actual data accessed. Advanced Data security: The agent helps facilitate the use of advanced data security controls for private enterprise apps, including our data loss prevention (DLP) and enterprise digital rights management (EDRM). Granular traffic steering to meet heterogeneous environments: The agent can be configured to steer traffic to specific destinations, based on user, device, and location. This helps to ensure only authorized users have access to sensitive data. Enhanced user experience with multi-tunnel traffic steering: The agent steers traffic to one of Lookout's many cloud-edge locations distributed worldwide, providing the shortest path between the user and the enterprise. Highly available redundant multi-path routing: The agent leverages our globally distributed Cloud Security Platform to offer end users a highly available security service edge (SSE) experience by leveraging advanced path selection and routing algorithms. Consistent zero-trust enforcement with integrated endpoint security: The agent continuously monitors endpoint posture when integrated with endpoint protection platforms (EPPs), OS security centers and other endpoint security products. “For more than two decades, VPNs have been the go-to technology for enterprise remote access. While their effectiveness has declined as applications have shifted to the cloud, the alternatives have been limited because of the myriad of complex use cases they support," said Sundaram Lakshmanan, Chief Technology Officer, Lookout. "Now, with the introduction of Windows and macOS endpoint agents on our Cloud Security Platform, Lookout facilitates full VPN replacement while filling inherent security gaps in these legacy architectures." About Lookout Lookout, Inc. is the endpoint-to-cloud cybersecurity company that delivers zero trust security by reducing risk and protecting data wherever it goes, without boundaries or limits. Our unified, cloud-native platform safeguards digital information across devices, apps, networks and clouds and is as fluid and flexible as the modern digital world.
