Athena NGFW (previously known as Network Secure) provides comprehensive protection for every network perimeter, ensuring the safety of your valuable assets, data, and users from emerging threats.
Objects are defined to provide basic settings to ensure device safety. Specifically, vulnerability attack prevention, web app protection, botnet, and LAN security are referenced using objects. The object definition defines application content signature database, security protection signature database, IP address database, schedule, network objects, service, trusted certificate authority, etc.
Module
Description
Network Objects
Used to set the IP address or IP address group to facilitate reference of the application control and security protection policies.
Link State Detection
Used to detect the effectiveness of WAN links.
Services
By specifying the ports and protocols, the user can configure services. Port and protocol configuration of data packets allows data control.
Security Policy Template
The user can define the content of a security template, which is referenced by security policies. Security policy templates include vulnerability attack prevention, Web application protection, Botnet, and content security.
Threat Signature Database
The user can look up security rules or customize rules. These rules are collected as a reference for security templates.
Content Identification Database
It can be used to recognize traffic content, including applications, URLs, and files. It is referenced by securities templates.
SLB Server Pools
You can add an SLB server pool as the destination IP address for destination NAT or bidirectional NAT. An IP address is selected from the server pool as the destination IP address for NAT based on the weighted round-robin algorithm, ensuring balanced traffic distribution across servers.
IP Location Database
It is used to import ISP address segments or change IP locations, providing a routing reference.
Schedule
It is used to set a schedule. Most control operations on the device can be performed based on the time segment. This object allows the user to set a time range to facilitate use in the control policy.
