Built solely for the virtualized data center, the Altor Virtual Firewall enforces security policy for each guest while tracking traffic that might be hidden from physical firewall products.

IT managers who are installing Bit9's Parity into an existing fleet of systems and servers will spend a lot of time in the "warnings" section getting a handle on the installed software in the environment.

Finjan Secure Web Gateway

The top-of-the-line Finjan Secure Web Gateway NG-8100 provides Web security, data leak prevention and logging with a central management system to track performance.

Passlogix v-Go
