Developing firewall technology: Hardwall — White paper

Abstract

The key to a successful IT security policy is to find a solution that offers the user the appropriate level of protection, while at the same time allowing a disciplined user to operate within its control without feeling unduly restricted. Hardwall technology outlined here has advantages over the traditional approach in: • • The unlimited access it allows the user to the PC functionality. • • The ease of reset to the as-installed operating system. • • The high level of security the solution offers. The technology is finding applications in public access PCs, training machines and the education sector. Small offices and home offices will benefit from the security levels established by the Hardwall technology which are normally only available in a large company environment.
