FireWall-1 GX
delivers Check Point's market-leading security to GPRS-
(2.5G) and UMTS- (3G) enabled wireless networks.
FireWall-1 GX is the first product to protect these
wireless infrastructures from the threats of untrusted
networks. With FireWall-1 GX, wireless network operators
can offer seamless roaming to their data customers
without exposing their network to potential security
threats.
GSM and GPRS
Background
The most widely deployed wireless
networks worldwide are those based on Global System for
Mobile Communications, or GSM, technology. Today, GSM
wireless operators are able to deliver high-speed
Internet access for mobile subscribers using an overlay
called General Packet Radio Services, or GPRS. Mobile
Internet access offers an exciting array of
possibilities including web browsing, e-mail
communications, intranet access and location-based
services. In the next major evolution of wireless
networks, third generation (3G) networks, mobile
Internet services will be based on Universal Mobile
Telecommunications System or UMTS.
Wireless
Infrastructure Security
The infrastructure deployed by
wireless operators to deliver mobile Internet services
represents a unique environment, with networking
equipment, protocols, signaling services and computing
platforms that differ from corporate Internet
deployments. This infrastructure requires a security
solution that is aware of the challenges of the
environment and is compliant with the appropriate
standards.
FireWall-1
GX
FireWall-1 GX was specifically
designed for wireless operators and combines Check
Point's patented Stateful Inspection technology with
full GPRS Tunneling Protocol (GTP) awareness. GTP is a
key protocol used in delivering mobile data services,
and FireWall-1 GX inspects all GTP tunnel fields in the
context of both the packet and the tunnel. This enables
granular security policies that deliver the highest
level of security for these wireless infrastructures.
Logging and
Alerting
In addition to security enforcement,
FireWall-1 GX provides a rich set of GTP-specific log
information, including granular logging details on
tunnel creation, updates and deletions. Beyond logging,
a wide range of security alerting options exists as
well.
FireWall-1 GX
Deployment
Deployed at the Border Gateway (Gp
interface) and on the Inter PLMN backbone (Gn
interface), FireWall-1 GX secures the GPRS backbone when
connecting to roaming partner and roaming exchanges (GRX).
FireWall-1 GX also protects distributed GPRS backbone
environments where operators have connections to Gateway
GPRS Support Nodes (GGSNs) outside of their own network
or to GGSNs that are geographically dispersed.
Standards
Compliant
FireWall-1 GX complies fully with
GSM standards for GTP, including GTPv0 (3GPP TS 09.60)
and GTPv1 (3GPP TS 29.060), and is aware of the GTP v.1
Release 1999 PDU types.
