Innominate Presents Miniature-Firewall/VPN Appliance Based on Intel® IXP425 Network Processor at Intel Developer Forum
Smallest Security Appliance for Office and Industry Use
|
San Jose/Berlin, 12 February 2003 - Innomnate Release for Spring IDF'03.doc Page 1/3 Innominate Security Technologies AG, a Berlin, Germany -headquartered provider of security appliances, presents one of the smallest security appliances for office and industry use at the Intel Developer Forum in San Jose, California. Measuring only 0.8 x 2.4 x 4 inches, mGuard offers features that previously could only be obtained through considerably larger and remarkably more expensive devices. The security appliance, based on the Intel® IXP425 network processor will be on display February 18 - 22, 2003 at the industry leading Intel Developer Forum.
mGuard is a specialized device for protection against IP related threats. The appliance supplies firewall- and VPN (Virtual Private Network)-functions with hardware supported encryption and optional anti-virus scanning. Innominate developed the "Transparent Mode" which enables mGuard to be used for the protection of computer and embedded systems without any configuration or administration effort. The Transparent Mode has been filed for patent by Innominate. Furthermore, the mGuard safety functions will prevent the screening and manipulation of data and applications.
Because of its small size, mGuard is a very suitable choice for protecting desktop PCs and mobile computers. Moreover, its autonomous operating mode allows for easy installation into a wide variety of industry products like medical appliances, point-of-sales devices, industry controllers or ticket vending machines. The secure IP-communication of these appliances can therefore be guaranteed.
Through the use of a modified Linux version, which Innominate especially developed for deployment in mGuard, the scale of its functions can be flexibly modified and extended. This lets mGuard also meet the special requirements of certain branches like trade, automation, industry and telecommunications.
The Innominate solution uses Intel ® Xscale[TM] micro-architecture and has two Ethernet interfaces along with a crypto module. Its low power consumption made this chip particularly appealing for the development of mGuard.
"The use of the Intel IXP425 network processor allowed us to implement high security standards while achieving particularly strong miniaturization. This allows for safe IP connections in industry and office applications where they used to be impossible because of space and expense limits," said Olaf Siemens, Chairman of the Innominate Security AG.
"Through the use of the Intel IXDP425 Development Platform, Innominate was able to conduct rapid initial chip evaluation, chip performance evaluation, product development and prototyping to bring their final mGuard product to market in a very short time span" , said Nick Finamore, general manager, Intel Network Processor Division.
