Overview
The Shiva VPN Gateway provides Internet security and privacy of communications for
small and medium enterprises. It simply and securely connects your office to the
Internet, and with its robust stateful firewall, shields your computers from outside
threats. The Shiva VPN Gateway checks and filters data packets to prevent
unauthorized intruders gaining access.
The Shiva VPN Gateway is a price/performance leader designed for securing small
offices and remote workers. The Shiva VPN Gateway makes it simple and easy to set
up and secure a small or home office that connects to a corporate network over the
Internet via broadband connections like ADSL or cable. For optimum security, the
Shiva VPN Gateway has a powerful stateful inspection firewall with service-based
intrusion detection to help protecting the remote PCs or offices. This, combined with
support for industry-standard VPN and authentication protocols, makes the Shiva
VPN Gateway a fully featured security device that will also help maximize productivity
by assuring uninterrupted connectivity, or high availability, through the combination of
WAN and serial ports.
The Shiva VPN Gateway enables you to significantly cut the telecommunications
costs associated with dial-up, leased-line, and frame relay connections by leveraging
the Internet to securely provide remote access, LAN-to-LAN, and Extranet
connectivity. By including the Shiva CMS with your purchase (please refer to the
