ISA Server
Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server is an advanced stateful packet and application-layer inspection firewall, virtual private network (VPN), and Web cache solution that enables enterprise customers to easily maximize existing information technology (IT) investments by improving network security and performance.
ISA Server is particularly well suited for protecting large enterprise network configurations requiring multiple firewall arrays in disparate locations that are running Microsoft client and server applications, such as Microsoft Office, Outlook Web Access 2007, SharePoint Portal Server 2003, Internet Information Services (IIS), Routing and Remote Access, Active Directory service, and many other Microsoft applications, servers, and services.
ISA Server contains a full featured, application-layer aware firewall that helps protect organizations of all sizes from attack by both external and internal threats. ISA Server performs deep inspection of Internet protocols such as Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), which enables it to detect many threats that traditional firewalls cannot detect.
The integrated firewall and VPN architecture of ISA Server support stateful filtering and inspection of all VPN traffic. The firewall also provides VPN client inspection for Microsoft Windows Server 2003-based quarantine solutions, helping to protect networks from attacks that enter through a VPN connection. In addition, a completely new user interface, wizards, templates, and a host of management tools help administrators avoid common security configuration errors.
