Enfotec designs and manufactures Linux based security appliances
integrating firewall, VPN, intrusion prevention and anti virus into
one, manageable appliance. All critical security functions are
implemented in firmware assisted hardware engines relying on
programmable chips running multiple tasks simultaneously for increased
performance.
The company has developed several patents pending technologies,
including Chained Packet Processing™ (CPP™) and Pattern Signature
Recognition™ (PSR™) enabling indispensable security functions at
gigabit speeds. These patent pending technologies allow for firmware
based signature checking, sophisticated traffic acceleration utilizing
a standard PCI bus infrastructure, increased availability and
functionality of standard Intel processors and the luxury of adding
other Linux based applications or custom cryptography into the
firmware.
Enfotec’s security appliances combine ultra-fast hardware accelerators
and sophisticated, patent pending technologies with open-source
software components and standard off-the-shelf hardware enabling a
price/performance ratio unseen in the security market.
Enfotec, Inc. was founded in 2001. It is a privately held
network security company based in California with offices in Minnesota
and Europe.
Sophisticated Nature of the Information Threat
