Huawei NIP6000 Next-Generation IPS Firewall Hardware

Huawei NIP6000 Next-Generation IPSThanks to the development of the cloud and mobile computing technologies, many enterprises currently allow their employees to use smart devices, such as smartphones and tablets, and popular network applications, such as Facebook and Twitter, for work to improve employee productivity. The problem with these technologies is that they blur network borders and increase the exposure to risks. The increasing number of security incidents indicates that the threat landscape in information security is changing and traditional technologies cannot protect against the new generation of threats.
 New threats are mostly zero-day vulnerability-based attacks that target specific victims. Traditional defense technologies are slow to create signatures, thereby giving attacks ample time to cause severe damage. In addition, attackers may customize the attack for the target environment and remain undetected for a long time. The increasing number of attacks proves that traditional technologies cannot help enterprises defend against this new generation of attacks. Enterprises now need a fundamentally different new-generation solution to protect their IT infrastructures from such threats.HUAWEI NIP6000, an advanced, New Generation Intrusion Prevention System (NGIPS), provides context, application, and content awareness capabilities and defends against unknown threats to better protect network infrastructures, bandwidth performance, servers, and clients.Product characteristicsNew hardware and software architecture, providing industry-Leading performanceMost software matching engines process regular expressions slowly, which severely restricts the device detection performance. Huawei NGIPS engine uses an MIPS64 processor from Cavium, a world-renowned chip
