DMZ and Perimeter Network Area – Dead end to a disaster.

Any mischievous hacker or script kiddie can target them to enter your network, which is then at his mercy. Nebero Firewall protects such critical servers by defining a DMZ (demilitarized zone) and Perimeter Network Area within your LAN. DMZ is a separate area of your LAN which sits between external network and the internal network of an organization. The connections from external network as well as from the internal network are permitted to the servers lying under DMZ, but not from the DMZ to internal network. This setup ensures, that in case the security of DMZ server is compromised, intruder will not be able to access the internal network. DMZ acts as a dead zone or dead end for an intruder. Defining and managing DMZ through Nebero's management console is very easy. E-mail, DNS and Web servers can easily be put into DMZ.

Statefull Firewall
Nebero employs a statefull firewall which keeps track of the state of network connections. The firewall is programmed to distinguish legitimate packets for different for types of connections. It examines every packet entering the network very carefully and determines whether it is the new packet or packet from the already established connection. Only packets matching a known connection state will be allowed by the firewall, others will be rejected. Thus ensuring a very high level of secure environment for your network.
