Safer, more reliable VPN connections
Faster processors today have vastly boosted the capabilities of attackers to decrypt VPN tunnels. Legacy VPN cryptographic algorithms like Message Digest 5 (MD5) and Secure Hash Algorithm 1 (SHA-1) are no longer sufficient to guarantee secure outbound communications. With supports to the more advanced Secure Hash Algorithm 2 (SHA-2), the VPN Firewall provides the safest VPN connections in its class to ensure maximum security for business communications.
Unlimited business mobility
To support dynamic, mobile business operations in today's BYOD (bring your own device) business environments, the VPN Firewalls offer unlimited business mobility with Layer-2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) VPN for mobile devices. The VPN Firewall supports L2TP VPN on a wide variety of mobile Internet devices running the iOS, Android and Windows mobile platforms.
