Building comprehensive solutions

D-Link provides a full range of total networking solutions. One of D-Link's goals is to integrate these products rather than just putting them together, especially for network security. For example, D-Link has successfully integrated the high-end xStack switches with ZoneDefense technology enabled NetDefend firewalls.

The NetDefend Firewalls combine dedicated firewall core architecture with a high density multi-network interface platform, and integrates virtual private network(VPN), intrusion detection and prevention (IDP/IPS), Anti-Spam Filtering, detailed bandwidth management, multi-line failover to WAN, OSPF, policy-based routing, server load balancing, web-based user authentication and D-Link's ZoneDefense end-point security technology. D-Link's high-quality products help customers face the modern day challenges of networking and security.

ICSA Labs IPSec Version 1.2 Enhanced Certification

D-Link's NetDefend Firewall family passed the latest and strictest IPSec certification in ICSA Labs version 1.2 Enhanced. A series of rigorous tests were carried out, including Internet Key Exchange (IKE), Encapsulation Security, robust cryptography algorithm, authentication using certificates, system logging and more. Not only did the NetDefend Firewall pass these tests, but it also earned praise from ICSA Labs’ Network Security Labs for unique features in the web administration interface that allow administrators to safely make changes to the firewall’s configuration remotely.

D-Link's NetDefend Firewalls can be used for small-to-medium businesses (SMB), corporate businesses, and in campus network environments. They offer unparalleled price/performance in an easy-to-deploy security solution, allowing employee workstations and critical servers to work and provide regular services in a secure and reliable environment.
