Does BorderWare do packet filtering, and circuit level and application level filtering?
Yes. BorderWare provides the combined security of packet filters, circuit-level and application-level gateways. BorderWare’s packet filters work at the TCP/IP level. The circuit-level gateways intercept the sessions and pass them through the firewall. The application-level gateways operate at a higher level – actually understanding the application that generated the packets. BorderWare is designed to offer the best protection to users. Packet filters, by themselves, do not provide total security. Application-level and circuit-level gateways provide effective security. However, when all three approaches work together the end result is the most effective and secure firewall.
