Who is Vulnerable? | |
Vulnerability Description | VPN-1 VSX provides a set of virtual components acting as real network devices such as Firewall gateways, routers, switches, and network cables. Using these virtual components, network topologies are created that are functionally equivalent to networks built with physical devices. Each Virtual Firewall, called a Virtual System, functions as a separate Firewall. As packets arrive at a VSX Gateway, the VSX gateway selects the appropriate Virtual System to handle them. Instead of using multiple Firewall/VPN Gateways (each protecting a single internal network) a single VPN-1 VSX Gateway is used to protect multiple networks.
VSX is a security solution designed for large enterprises,data centers and service provider POPs. By aggregating multiple security domains on a single platform, VPN-1 VSX minimizes hardware investment through the use of virtualization. |
