PoliWall Q Security Appliance

The PoliWall Q is a high-performance security appliance designed to counter network attacks. PoliWall Q provides innovative granular IP-based access control by rapidly filtering millions of global addresses with exceptions down to a single address. The product enables organizations to use a straightforward graphical interface to block entire countries, IP subnets, ranges, or specific IP addresses from accessing a network at gigabit speeds. PoliWall Q offers simplified traffic management and configuration to Stop a Country with a Click with its proprietary High-speed Internet Protocol Packet Inspection Engine (HIPPIE) filter. The appliance is interoperable with existing firewalls, routers, and other existing network components. Quality of Service capability on the PoliWall Q for network and datacenter operations auto-adjusts bandwidth allocation to give priority to selected IP addresses and ranges. Bandwidth throttling is available to control lower priority traffic and help mitigate denial-of-service attacks. Pre-Compiled Exception Lists can be uploaded to the PoliWall Q, blocking large lists of known botnet and spamming machines while continuing to offer access from trusted IP addresses and address ranges. PoliWall Q is designed for enterprise network and datacenter operations to auto-adjust bandwidth allocation based on network loads. It allows for granular access control without any latency in the network. The technology addresses both the IPv4 and IPv6 addressing protocols to meet current and future IT infrastructure requirements.
