Operational Impact
When Tokiwa University chose FireWall-1 in 1996, two factors were important: The interface was easy to understand—greatly simplifying the deployment and ongoing management of multiple firewalls—and Firewall-1 was software-based, so the university could run it on its existing Unix servers. The core INSPECT technology forms a foundation upon which a newer architecture in the form of Application Intelligence and SmartDefense has been built. From simple misuse of packets to large-scale attacks, this technology offers thorough protection for an organization’s network. At present, the school restricts personal computer connections to the LAN inside specially segmented areas in the Media and Information Technology Center. However, the plan is to expand the number of areas where students and faculty can connect. | |
