Best practise methods and technology packed in a software appliance.
Software appliance
Profense™ turns a standard server into a powerful appliance.
Profense™ includes a hardened OS and installs on most standard hardware. An administrative interface provides access to perform all necessary administrative tasks, including initial configuration, administration of clustering and filtering rules, backup, log and reporting functions.
Securing Profense
Profense™ is based on a stripped and hardened version of OpenBSD which is regarded to be the most secure OS you can get.
Profense™ components are run in a non-privileged and closed run-time environment. ProPolice, W^X protection, non-executable stack, etc. further hardens the system.
Profense™ is based on a stripped and hardened OpenBSD platform. OpenBSD is regarded as the most secure OS generally available. The web proxy, filtering and administration components run in a non-privileged and closed run-time environment. Technologies like ProPolice, W^X protection, non-executable stack, etc. are used to further harden the system against attacks. With Profense™ you get a seriously hardened and secured frontend to your web applications - without compromising functionality.
High availability
Built in clustering features allows for configuring active/active and active/passive clusters without having to add an extra load balancer.
Profense™ can be run in a cluster where two or more physical Profense™ node together comprise a logical Profense™ node with automatic policy synchronization across the nodes. "Self-balanced" active/active and active/passive modes are supported. In either mode fail-over in case of node failure is performed transparently with minimal or no service interruption.
