Smart-1 Appliances

Consolidated and Comprehensive Security Management

Smart-1 appliances consolidate security, log, and event management into a single dedicated management appliance and a unified management console for one-stop security management and monitoring. From SmartConsole, an administrator can define and monitor security policies across multiple security functions including Firewall, IPS, Anti-Virus, Anti-Bot, Threat Emulation, URL Filtering, and Application control.

Smart-1 Appliances provide central security management and the ability to view logs, track events, view reports and monitor security and network activity, see trends, and centrally distribute signatures and software updates.

Organizations seeking to optimize their security management can leverage the Compliance Software Blade on their Smart-1 Appliances. Security best practices provided by the Compliance Software Blade deliver continuous feedback to organizations to help them ensure that gateways and Software Blades are configured and managed correctly. The Compliance Software Blade simulates the security impact of configuration or policy changes before installation, and provides real-time notifications to administrators alerting them to potential risks. The Compliance Software Blade provides a valuable tool for organizations seeking to consolidate their security management and stay on top of your security posture.

Multi-Domain Security Management

Smart-1 Appliances allow IT administrators to segment security management into as many as 200 independent domains. Easily create domains based on geography, business unit or security function to strengthen security and simplify management by segregating administration and policies.

Smart-1 Appliances with Multi-Domain Log Management host log files in segregated domains and improve performance by isolating log traffic from management traffic.

Up to 24TB of internal RAID Storage

Smart-1 Appliances provide up to 24 TB of built-in storage as well as high-performance fiber channel connectivity to Storage Area Networks (SANs) for external storage.

Starting with a single 1TB or 2TB disk drive, and expanding up to 12x2TB disk drives, the Smart-1 appliance is a flexible platform providing storage capabilitites suited for small to large environments, able to host billions of log records.

Scalable and Reliable Platform

Smart-1 Appliances support Lights-Out Management (Out-of-Band Management) allowing off-network monitoring and control of the appliance, including device maintenance and administration. Several add-on options are available including a fiber channel SAN module, and redundant and hot swappable power supplies and hard drives, for a high degree of availability.

Transform Data into Security Intelligence

Every Smart-1 Appliance includes SmartLog as part of the Logging and Status Software Blade and unified security management console. This enables enterprises to centrally track log records and security activity across all Software Blades with split-second free-text search results, providing administrators instant visibility over billions of log records. The intuitive search box delivers real-time search results from any log field displaying top-down results, saving security administrator’s valuable time. Administrators can search multiple log files, time periods, gateways and domains, or search by action, user, time or geography for powerful granular security investigation. The Logging and Status Software Blade transforms data into security intelligence with real-time visibility over billions of log records from a single, integrated security management console.

Real-Time Threat Detection

Smart-1 Appliances with Next Generation SmartEvent deliver real-time cyber threat visibility in the era of Big Data. Customizable views and personalized reports enable organizations to monitor important activities and keep key stakeholders informed. Next Generation SmartEvent delivers big data threat detection capabilities in just seconds. Administrators can move from a high level view to detailed forensic analysis in just a simple click. With free-text search, and correlation of multiple logs, organizations can generate weekly reports in less than ten seconds, and quickly analyze data and identify critical security events from the clutter.

Network Connectivity

The Smart-1 Appliances provide a wide variety of network interfaces. Built-in 1GbE copper interfaces and optional 1Gbe or 10GbE copper or Fiber network NICs allows for flexible network connectivity. The optional SAN interfaces enable integration with high-performance fiber channel networks for backup, disaster recovery, and compliance requirements.
