IronPort Systems

IronPort S650

IronPort Systems will be introducing two new appliances, one designed to secure Web traffic, and the other for inspecting email traffic. The IronPort S650 includes features such as URL filtering, reputation-based filtering and malware detection and prevention. The new box is able to monitor all network ports and uses the company's Web Reputation Filters, which evaluate the trustworthiness of a URL based on more than 50 separate parameters. The S650 relies on the company's own Dynamic Vectoring and Streaming engine and several signature types supplied by Webroot. IronPort also is unveiling its new X1050 email security appliance, designed for large enterprises and ISPs. Along with anti-spam and antivirus protection, the X1050 also includes the ability to filter mail senders based on their reputations. Pricing starts around $25,000 for the S650 and the X1050 pricing has not been finalized.
