Symantec Gateway Security 400 Series appliances are Symantec’s integrated security solution for the
Remote Office/Branch Office (ROBO) and small office environments, with support for secure wireless LANs
in any size office.
Symantec Gateway Security 400 Series provides integrated security by offering six security functions in
the base product:
■
Firewall
■
IPSec Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) with hardware-assisted 3DES and AES encryption
■
Intrusion detection
■
Intrusion protection
■
Static content filtering
■
Antivirus policy enforcement (AVpe)
All of these features are designed specifically for the remote or branch office. These appliances are perfect
for stand-alone environments or as a complement to Symantec Gateway Security 5400 Series appliances
deployed at hub sites.
Symantec Gateway Security 400 Series models are wireless-capable. They have special wireless firmware
and a CardBus slot that can accommodate an optional Symantec wireless network card consisting of an
integrated 802.11b/g radio and separate antenna, to allow the highest possible integrated security for
wireless LANs, when used with clients running the Symantec Client VPN software.
You can manage the Symantec Gateway Security 400 Series using the Security Gateway Management
Interface (SGMI), an HTML-based graphical user interface. The SGMI lets you manage all facets of the
appliance configuration. Refer to the
Symantec Gateway Security 400 Series Administrator’s Guide for
details.
You can also manage some of the security gateway’s configuration using the Symantec Management
Console. With the Symantec Event Manager, you can use the Symantec Management Console to manage
security gateway alerts, logging, and reporting functions. With the Symantec Advanced Manager, you can
use the Symantec Management Console for scalable management of multiple security gateways.
