3Com to deliver secure network fabric

BANGALORE, INDIA: 3Com announced its plans to deliver overlay security solutions to help enterprise customers build a secure network fabric that will simultaneously reduce security risks, management overhead and infrastructure costs.

The secure network fabric includes the integration of 3Com's TippingPoint intrusion prevention system (IPS) technology.



Its H3C enterprise network and security solutions deliver a unified product line that combines security, network infrastructure and policy management.

This secure network fabric will be managed by a centralized policy management system that provides a single view of security devices and network operations, and allows rapid implementation and deployment of complex security policies to the distributed security enforcement systems.

“The proliferation of internal and application-specific network security threats and the burden of compliance initiatives have greatly increased network security complexity and management costs,” said Saar Gillai, Sr VP-Worldwide Products and Solutions, 3Com.

“To address this, we are integrating TippingPoint IPS with our H3C networking and security solutions to increase the level and sophistication of security services that enterprises should expect without sacrificing network performance. The integrated management framework will allow our customers to realize better protection, greater operational efficiency, reduced response times, and lower cost-per-incident,” he added.
