Symantec offers Enterprise Firewall for IBM eServer

Symantec has announced the availability of its Enterprise Firewall for IBM
eServer iSeries 270 running Linux. Symantec plans to expand its firewall support
to other IBM iSeries offerings over the course of this year.

Symantec Enterprise Firewall for iSeries includes a hardened Linux OS, with
the application designed to provide users with a virtual firewall appliance to
run directly on one of the logical partitions, specific to the iSeries.

By integrating full application inspection, application-layer proxies,
stateful inspection and packet filtering into a unique hybrid architecture,
Symantec Enterprise Firewall for iSeries ensures that the information entering
and exiting the corporate network is thoroughly inspected at all levels for
increased security and control.

Its comprehensive hybrid security architecture provides superior protection
against complex-blended threats like CodeRed and Nimda to secure network
perimeters. It features user-authentication alternatives to provide the
flexibility to use existing security databases.

The firewall includes Raptor Management Console, to ease configuration and
administration from a centralized console.
