- BayBiz
Firewall
The BayBiz firewall manages inbound
and outbound communications traffic. Administrators can
block or allow access, for each protocol, to each internal
network, server, service, and user group. The firewall
inspects both networking information (packet headers) and
application information (payloads) to detect and block
suspicious traffic.

Stateful
Packet Inspection
BayBiz Security inspects network packet headers to manage
traffic between the Internet and internal networks, servers,
and users. BayBiz Security examines individual packet headers
to make sure that they conform to the rules of the appropriate
protocol (packet filtering), and tracks the sequence of events
during ongoing connections to detect violations of normal
processes (stateful packet inspection).
Application-Level
Deep Packet Filtering
The BayBiz Security Firewall utilizes application-level
proxies to scan the application-related content of
communications packets (payloads) to ensure conformance with
rules specific to web traffic, email, DNS, and other broad
application types.
Security
Proxies
BayBiz
Security provides comprehensive proxies that simplify
management by allowing administrators to quickly and easily
enable and disable protocols and features such as content
filtering, caching, whitelists and blacklists, file extension
filtering, and MIME error checking. Proxies are included for
the protocols:
.
HTTP
.
DNS
.
SOCKS
.
POP3
.
Ident
.
SMTP
NAT
and Masquerading
Dynamic and static Network Address Translation (NAT) and
masquerading conceal internal IP addresses behind a
"public" IP address, to prevent hackers from
learning about internal networks, servers, and users.
DoS
Protection
BayBiz Security protects against common Denial of Service (DoS)
attacks like TCP SYN flood, ICMP flood, UDP flood, Smurf,
Trinoo, and IP spoofing.
Traffic
Shaping and QoS
Administrators can increase or decrease the priority of
different types of traffic between specific endpoints,
providing quality of service (QoS) for critical transactions.
Detailed
Reporting
BayBiz Security provides detailed reporting on network
traffic, connections, packet filter violations, hardware
utilization on the firewall system, and other information for
managing the firewall.
