VCL-2702: Network Isolation Switch

Description

VCL-2702: Network Isolation Switch: What is a Network Isolation Switch and why does an organization require it? Orion provides a comprehensive “Beyond the Firewall” cyber security solutions that designed to assist organizations to prevent and secure their network against firewall breaches and cyber-attacks in real-time. The VCL-2702: Network Isolation Switch is one such element that forms a part of the cyber security suite of products that are offered by Orion. Most network administrators rely solely on a “Firewall” to secure their IP networks. Some network administrators go one step further and also deploy an additional “Network Traffic Sniffer” which monitors and flags the transmitted and received data anomalies. However, very few network administrators actually plans for an eventuality after a “Firewall” has been breached and the “Network Traffic Sniffer” has recorded anomalies in the data that is being transmitted and received. The VCL-2702 “Network Isolation Switch” provides the last-line-of-defence in the event of a network security breach. The VCL-2702 “Network Isolation Switch” can be used in conjunction with a “Firewall”, “Network Traffic Sniffer” and multiple VCL-2143 “Network-MouseTrαp(s)™ / Advanced Honeypot” to automatically initiate a series of defensive actions that would have been planned by the network administrator, in the event of a network security breach.

Such actions would include:

• Disconnecting the Local Area Network (LAN) from the Wide Area Network (WAN)
• Disconnecting only a specific data storage device (SAN / NAS), or Server from the local network
• Generating “Audio-Visual Alarms”
• Sending “SNMP Traps”
• Sending “Network Security Alerts” to a centralized NMS.

Features & Highlights:

Fail-Safe. Never itself becomes a point of failure.

1. The equipment maintains data connectivity if the port was put in the operational mode, even in power down condition or upon control card failure.
2. The network port shall continue to remain in isolated mode if the port was put in the isolation mode prior to power down or control card failure.

The VCL-2702 is available in two variants.

1. Single Port Network Isolation Switch,
• 1U, 19-Inch Rack Mount Version
• May be used where only one port is required to be isolated from the network
• Available with 1G Electrical, 1G Optical and 10G Optical Interfaces
2. Muti-Port Network Isolation Switch,
• 6U, 19-Inch Rack Mount Version
• May be used where multiple 1G and 10G ports are required to be isolated from the network
• Available with 1G Electrical, 1G Optical and 10G Optical Interfaces
