Descripción del TOE

The TOE is designed to filter network traffic based on a set of rules that are created by a system administrator. It separates the organization’s internal networks from external network connections to decrease the risk of an external attack. It protects the internal, private networks from unauthorized users on the Internet. Traffic that enters and leaves the protected networks is examined by the TOE. Access policies identify and filter different types of information and can also control which policies or ports the protected computers can use on the Internet (outbound access).

The TOE has extensive logging capabilities which include the logging of administrative actions and security related network events. The WatchGuard Dimension 2.1.2 software provides for viewing and sorting of audit logs.

The TOE is a software only TOE. It is supported by the WatchGuard Firebox appliance hardware, which is in the operational environment.
