*To reach the size of the AV library, you need to upgrade the license

Authorized Cloud Security*-Perimeter Defense Service is supported

Network equipment is on the cloud, and unified operation and maintenance in the cloud is in the cloud. Real-time perception of the situation to reduce labor costs; Increase the speed of reflection and flexibly adapt to the development layout of the enterprise;

Support cloud management and control of enterprise networks, remotely block attack sources, isolate compromised terminals, and block malicious virus files;

It supports cloud security domain management, allowing devices in the same security domain to access each other, and open security policies are required to open security policies for mutual access between devices in different security domains, so as to improve the security and resilience of enterprise networks by reasonably dividing security domains and deploying resources.

Attack sources can be blocked by IP address or domain name, and all known attack sources can be automatically filtered to reduce the link load. Suspicious addresses can be pre-stored in the blacklist, and manually released after the risk is eliminated. Relevant information will be retained for the IP addresses or endpoints that appear in the blacklist, so that risks can be quickly located in the future and meet the needs of refined access control.

Provides a multi-dimensional security log statistics dashboard and one-click export of security logs in the cloud. It supports fine-grained log retrieval, up to 22 search conditions, and provides full-dimensional, cross-device, and visual log analysis to assist users in comprehensively auditing the overall security status of the information system.

Cloud authorization, one-click opening, saving time and effort

*The self-owned cloud platform meets the requirements of Level 3 of classified protection

High availability

It supports 1+1 redundant power supply and dual mirroring + emergency mode, ensuring uninterrupted service operation and fast recovery from service failures.

Refined identification and control of online behaviors

It has a large-scale application identification feature database, and one-click control of nearly 6,000 common desktop and mobile Internet applications in 36 categories, including video, social networking, shopping, finance and other applications;

Accurately identify popular application behaviors such as WeChat, Weibo, and QQ, such as text communication, voice and video, file transfer, music playback, etc., and finely control these behaviors, and intercept or restrict them in a purposeful and targeted manner;

Built-in database of more than 10 types of domestic URLs, which can restrict employees' access to the corresponding websites with one click;

Provides flexible bandwidth management policies to control the bandwidth used by each IP address in the network to ensure the network experience of key services and users. The management and control methods include bidirectional bandwidth control, connection limit, and connection monitoring.

Abundant routing features

Static routing, policy-based routing, intelligent balancing, VPN (IPSec/PPTP/L2TP VPN), dynamic DNS (Peanutshell, Kemai, 3322) and other functions are supported.

Supports multiple deployment modes

Layer 3 routing gateway mode

As a Layer 3 routing gateway, TL-NFW8500 replaces the original router in the network, and the data communication between the internal network and the external network is NAT converted through the firewall, which improves the processing mechanism of data packets and strengthens the network security protection capability.

Layer 2 transparent bridge mode

TL-NFW8500 allows you to set up some or all of the interfaces as bridges, which work in a Layer 2 network and are protected by firewalls as long as data passes through the bridge interfaces. In this mode, firewall deployment does not need to change the original topology, which is more convenient and faster.

Route + Bridge mode

During actual network deployment, some interfaces of the firewall can be set as bridge interfaces and part of the firewall interfaces as routing interfaces according to on-site requirements, so that the two methods can be flexibly combined to achieve more cost-effective network protection.
