Next Generation Network Security
The X-Guardian is a combination Firewall/Intrusion Detection System/Scanner integrated into a single box solution. This next generation enhanced firewall provides all the features you've come to expect from a firewall whilst adding additional layers of protection by monitoring the traffic that passes in & out of you're network for attacks & data theft.

* Enhanced Firewall
* Intrusion Detection System (IDS)
* Internal Security Scanner
* Bandwidth Graphing
* HTTP/WWW Auditing
* IP / Port Forwarding
* Network Communication Alerts
* Complex Routing Capable
* 24/7 Monitoring Service

The Concept
A firewall limits the traffic that passes in & out of your network but what is protecting the data that is allowed to pass? If you have a public www or email server, traffic has to pass for your web pages to be viewed and your email to be delivered. It is these transports where attackers will gain access if they can! With an Intrusion Detection System you can audit every packet that passes for attack signatures and, based upon your specific needs, block an attack by denying access on a per IP basis.

Internal Data Theft & Abuse
Statistics indicate that a large proportion of data theft happens from internal employees. Monitor the data that leaves your network and identify the sources of your data theft. Have an Acceptable Use Policy? The X-Guardian's proxy services can audit and filter the web traffic data flow enabling you to see who's doing what, where and when.

Seamless Integration
Implement the X-Guardian transparently with IP forwarding (reverse NAT) or port forwarding. Hide and protect your public servers with stateful firewalling and IDS per node basis. Extend the auditing on your network with transparent proxy services.

Internal Security Scanner
Fully customizable, the X-Guardian can be programmed to audit your internal nodes for security flaws & unauthorized services. Using the same base technique as our External Network Security Assessment this robot version can be asked to periodically scan the entire network or portions of as needed. In addition, if an internal node "catches the X-Guardian's eye" it can scan the node automatically and email the results directly to you.

Network Communication Monitoring
Preprogram a list of nodes you would like monitored and the X-Guardian will contact you if connectivity to a given address fails. Get real time notifications on the state of your network communication and monitor network bandwidth with an easy to read historical graphing system.

Complex Routing Capable
Have a large network to manage? Consider using the X-Guardian as a router replacement throughout your network infrastructure and combine the speed & stability of Linux with the protection & auditing of the X-Guardian.

24/7 Monitoring Service
The problem with hackers is that they just don't keep regular office hours. Who's watching your network after hours and on the weekends? Let LSP's security team take over and protect your network.

With a dedicated 24/7 monitoring service team we are able to provide the kind of service other vendors cannot. We have engineers awake and active all night (We also have a large caffeine bill each month) monitoring your networks. Each security event is investigated and responded to fully as it happens. As an attack occurs, even a complex, multi source attack, a real person takes over the defense of your network. If you authorize us, we can even connect to the server being attacked and stop services, we can even apply missing patches to immunize the node against the attack whilst it's occurring. Don't let just anyone protect your network - insist on experienced security engineers monitoring your network security 24/7 and sleep soundly at night.
