Secure Computing has introduced the industry's first Secure Hybrid Delivery ArchitectureSM. Customers may now gain access to best-of-breed security — in any configuration —
Secure Managed Services, Secure Appliances, and Secure Virtual Appliances. Secure Hybrid Delivery Architecture


Secure Hybrid Delivery Benefits:

  • Easily fits into existing infrastructures while allowing for future growth
  • Consistently and over time enables the most favorable operational efficiencies and resource reductions
  • Provides sound deployment options for energy optimization and Green IT
  • Provides customers with the lowest possible total cost of ownership



The security software market has been rapidly eclipsed by appliances over the last 5 years. Now, virtual environments and hosted solutions are showing strong growth and hybrid solutions that enhance existing security infrastructure are looking to become the norm. Secure Computing continues to evolve its offerings providing customers a flexible, hybrid delivery model that includes products, virtualized configurations, and managed services.


Flexible Deployment Options Secure Hybrid Delivery Features:

  • On premises, virtualized and hosted service delivery platforms
  • Fully portable services across all delivery platforms
  • Hybrid service deployment splitting services across platforms
  • Common policy definition and administration
  • Unified service offerings and pricing
  • Unified reporting

Customers should not be forced to choose between different delivery models for their web, messaging and application security. Our Hybrid Delivery Architecture delivers portable services across hosted, virtual and hardware-based appliances, and provides customers with the ability to mix and match delivery models based on their needs. With common policy and reporting, the Secure Hybrid Delivery Model is designed to offer customers solutions that best meet their current and future business needs, maximize their flexibility, and help them optimize datacenter space.


Secure Managed Services


Secure Computing is now making its solutions available as managed services.

In June 2008, the company announced the limited availability of its Secure Web Protection Service - the industry's first software-as-a-service (SaaS) Web security solution that provides reputation-based protection from malware and other Web-borne threats. The new hosted service offers customers Web security protection through a reliable SaaS deployment option. With no applications or hardware to install or deploy, the service provides organizations with immediate and reliable network protection. The new Secure Web Protection Service addresses all of the key business issues surrounding Internet use in the workplace: security, organizational compliance, and policy control.

Secure Web Protection Service protects both inbound and outbound Internet traffic

Customers that select Secure Computing managed services will benefit from reduced upfront and ongoing costs.

Rather than installing, patching, upgrading and maintaining various applications for gateway protection, IT administrative staff can be redirected to other mission critical IT needs. Organizations with numerous locations or limited IT resources can simply redirect gateway traffic to a Secure Computing data center to manage protection from start to finish.

Secure Appliances


The appliance model has been Secure Computing's long-term approach to security, and this approach continues to offer many advantages over traditional software. Multiple disparate software applications installed on and consuming the same hardware resources--each with its own set of prerequisites--has been known to create conflict and be more susceptible to vulnerabilities. Stand-alone appliances do not suffer from this problem.


Purpose-built appliances from Secure Computing come pre-installed and pre-configured with a secure operating system and security applications that are optimized for a specific function. This results in high performance and stability while minimizing security vulnerabilities, superior security, less down time, less support calls, and an over all better user experience, increasing usability and productivity. Appliances remain both economical and highly functional, allowing disparate systems to interface and communicate.

Secure Computing delivers the world's leading Web, mail, and firewall appliances.


 
Secure Virtual Appliances


Through a newly announced partnership, Secure Computing's gateway appliances now leverage the power and flexibility of VMware's Virtualization Infrastructure (VI3) Foundation, which partitions a single physical machine into multiple self-contained virtual machines running Secure Computing virtualized appliances. Organizations will have the option of either deploying virtualized Secure Computing applications onto new or existing hardware, or deploying multiple Secure Computing applications onto a single virtual machine for a more comprehensive "defense-in-depth" approach against today's sophisticated security threats.


Organizations are also able to increase security protection by adding virtualized appliances, which can all be managed from Secure Computing's central management system to minimize administrative and management overhead. With any of the scenarios, customers benefit from the ease of preconfigured security without the cost and space required to manage multiple appliances.


All of Secure Computing's security gateway appliances can be deployed as preconfigured virtual appliances without the cost and space required of traditional security implementations
