Ecessa Adds Layer 7 Firewall to SD-WAN

Ecessa today announced a significant upgrade to its entire SD-WAN product line with Layer 7 firewall intrusion detection and prevention features.

Ecessa Edge, PowerLink and WANworX now include a native next generation firewall and SD-WAN solution on a single platform. Organizations can consolidate equipment and add stronger edge protection with one full-featured device from Ecessa, saving money and increasing efficiency.

Ecessa security features now include:

  • Intrusion detection and prevention (IDS/IPS)
  • Selectable threat classes (Malware, ransomware, DDoS)
  • Threat package updates (automatic and configurable)
  • Website filtering
  • Custom rules engine
  • Customizable inbound and outbound rules
  • QoS engine
  • Access Control List (ACL) with change logs
  • Full read/write control of all rules and policies
  • Full reporting, logging and alerting
  • Full support for IPSec and SSL VPN (PowerLink and WANworX models)

For nearly two decades, Ecessa has included a stateful firewall in its wide area network devices. With the need to securely off-load internet traffic at the edge and encrypt sensitive business data traversing public broadband circuits, stronger security features have become essential throughout the network.

Ecessa has an 18-year tradition of innovation, developing intellectual property that not only meets market needs, but offers the greatest customization options and unlimited technical support. Ecessa recognizes ­every network is unique. The company’s goal is to empower network architects to create the exact solutions they need.
