InterSpect with Security Switches
Network managers are paid "to deliver bits, not to block them." The most popular architecture to "deliver bits" has been the three-tier architecture of Core Router - Distribution Switch - Access Switch because it provides good throughput and port density cost effectively. It delivers bits fast. It also delivers attacks fast. Worms spread especially quickly on flat Layer 2 networks because there is nothing in the way to stop them. Even on a Layer 3 network, the network is neither secure nor scalable under attack.
To address this problem, Check Point and Crossbeam Systems have partnered to offer InterSpect, Check Point's market-leading interior security technology, on Crossbeam X-Series security switches. The result is cost-effective, bulletproof segmentation and quarantining that delivers bits fast and blocks attacks fast. The InterSpect-on-X solution provides a single hardware device that seamlessly integrates at core, distribution or access layers. Its high port density allows many separate network segments to be protected and it can operate in bridge or switched mode for minimal to no network reconfiguration. InterSpect-on-X offers the highest scaling and highest availability solutions for interior network protection.
