Unified Security Solutions for SMBs

Small and Medium Businesses (SMB) are looking at different ways to secure their operations. Tapping into this need for information security, 3Com has introduced its X-Family unified security platforms, which claim to offer integrated security solutions. This solution is targeted mainly at SMBs.

Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) is the technology behind the solution. X-Family solutions will deliver IPS together with trying to erode threats like spyware and phishing.

The security solution will provide a platform for distributed networks that are deploying Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and require Quality of Service (QoS) for mission critical traffic; the company is quoted to have said.
