TECHNOLOGY
BACKGROUND
The core of any network security infrastructure is a firewall. At one time the firewall was a rather crude device allowing for simple packet filtering. This provided only a simple barrier between the enterprise's information assets and the dangers of the Internet. Like all technology, the firewall has evolved significantly and today is an application-aware device that controls security on many different levels.
The NetScreen firewall product is one of the fastest growing firewall products on the market today, with the largest annual growth in the security appliance sector for the last two years. This market is expected to grow to a 48 billion dollar market by next year.
