Solstice™ FireWall-First! is a network security system that gives you
comprehensive, flexible and distributed control over access to each service and
computer on your network. It is completely transparent to all users and
applications, and all services remain fully available.
Solstice FireWall-First! examines all packets sent and received through all
network interfaces by applying a set of security rules, then deciding whether to
pass the communication to the packet or block. It captures packets between the
network protocol layer and the hardware interface. It is installed on gateway
computers to provide perimeter defense, and on servers and workstations to
allow in-depth defense. Solstice FireWall-First! is managed from a browser that
is running either on the Netra server or on another machine on the network. In
the latter case, Solstice FireWall-First! must be configured to allow remote
administration.
