High Assurance 500 Gateway

The SafeNet HighAssurance™ 500 Gateway offers performance and manageability features that drive down the total cost of ownership for network security. Built to meet the scalable demands of today's branch office networks, it provides key security and data management features including IPSec VPN tunneling, Network Address Translation and a firewall, while operating at 1.5 Mbps full-duplex. The HighAssurance 500 Gateway supports up to 500 VPN tunnels and a maximum of 1,000 simultaneous secure connections with DES, Triple DES, or AES encryption.

The HighAssurance 500 Gateway is a dedicated, stand-alone, IPSec solution for site-to-site and remote access virtual private networks (VPNs) with stateful packet inspection firewall capability for gateway security and access control. It maximizes cost and time savings by optimizing security, performance, interoperability, and manageability. The HighAssurance 500 Gateway enables companies to move their business communications to the Internet, reducing costs, increasing business opportunities and allowing secure communications and transactions with employees, business partners and customers. Encryption and security functions are separated from other networking devices because the HighAssurance 500 Gateway is a dedicated security device - critical when designing the most secure meshed and hub-and-spoke network architectures.

Like all SafeNet security appliances, the HighAssurance 500 Gateway is managed by the SafeEnterprise Security Management Center, a robust, Java™-based policy management software application with secure, flexible, and transparent SNMP-based control and monitoring capabilities. The Security Management Center also defines integrated security policies that can be distributed across multiple devices and HighAssurance Remote VPN clients.
