Crossbeam Launches Two New Unified Threat Management Platforms for Medium-Sized Businesses and the Extended Enterprise

Crossbeam Systems announced an expansion of its C-Series line of UTM platforms. The C12 and C25, optimized for best-of-breed security applications, deliver enterprise-class UTM security to medium-sized businesses and extended large enterprise deployments. The C12 and C25 UTM platforms for medium-sized businesses are optimized to meet the demands of best-of-breed UTM security applications, such as anti-virus, IDS/IPS, XML security, and URL filtering from security innovators. C-Series platforms are purpose-built for security and performance demands in UTM perimeter and LAN infrastructures that require the combined operation of firewall, intrusion protection, and content filtering. The platforms provide high performance and security at both large and small packet sizes making it ideal for any combination of services, whether VoIP services or XML-based services. By enabling deployment of multiple applications on a single platform, the C12 and C25 radically simplify the management and architecture of security infrastructure. This improves overall security posture while also generating cost savings in hardware and personnel when compared to traditional “multiple independent point solutions” deploy ments.
