With limited budgets and modest remote resources, these smaller networks desire a cost effective solution that is simple to install, connect and maintain. In order to comply with legislation and secure the valuable data traversing networks, small and medium enterprises and remote branch offices need a security solution that integrates multiple attack recognition technologies into a single device. To ensure the security of this sensitive data, legislation such as PCI, HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley, and others have warranted the implementation of security measures. Small and medium enterprises and remote branch offices of larger enterprises face these attacks while storing and transferring increasing amounts of sensitive data across their networks. Today's network security threats have evolved into highly sophisticated assaults using multiple attack vectors to penetrate networks and steal valuable information.
