Stonesoft Security Engine 5.5 provides virtual engines and increased performance
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
MSSPs can serve multiple customers with a single appliance
Helsinki, Finland -18 June 2013 - The cyber security expert Stonesoft introduces
the new Stonesoft Security Engine platform and Stonesoft Management Center
version 5.5. The Security Engine platform is the core of the Stonesoft Next
Generation Firewall and other security solutions. The new version allows MSSPs
(Managed Security Service Providers) to serve multiple customers with a single
appliance. It also provides major improvements in deep packet inspection
performance.
Virtual engines
Virtual engines allow MSSPs to serve more customers with less physical devices,
whereby they benefit from significantly improved cost efficiency through lower
initial costs and reduced management/personnel resources. Virtual engines are
also an ideal solution for governmental or enterprise environments in which
strict isolation between networks is mandatory.
Stonesoft Security Engine 5.5 has been designed to be fully MSSP compatible,
allowing them to run up to 250 virtual instances of Security Engine in a single
physical appliance. The solution can be also clustered, for scalability or high
availability reasons. The same engine can have simultaneously different security
policies, separate routing tables and overlapping IP addresses for different
interfaces. All these can be managed with the Stonesoft multitenant centralized
management system.
Deep packet inspection performance
Stonesoft 5.5 introduces significant performance improvements for deep packet
inspection, resulting in over 100% improved throughput compared to the previous
version. In particular, small packet handling has been improved.
"Traditionally, performance and security have been mutually exclusive and
hardware based security solutions have been unbeatable with regard to
performance. Now, for the first time, software offers even better performance
without compromising security at any point", says Antti Kuvaja, Director,
Product Management, Stonesoft.
Availability
The 5.5 versions of Stonesoft Security Engine and Stonesoft Management Center
are available in June.
