BorderGuard™ 6000
Series
Secure Communications Platform
The BorderGuard™ 6000 Secure Communications Platform
builds on a decade-long legacy of offering the best combination
of price, performance, reliability, and security in the industry.
BorderGuards have been deployed around the world in support of the
most demanding secure communications applications without a single
security breach. In addition to iron-clad security, BorderGuards
are known for their reliability - enhanced by total path redundancy
and automatic failover for complete peace of mind.

Interoperability and Flexiblity
The versatile BorderGuard 6000
can leverage your existing public key infrastructure (PKI), including
X.509 certificate authorities as well as OCSP and CRL checking.
Administrators are relieved of the tedious task of manually configuring
certificate authority hierarchies by the BorderGuard
6000 automatic path discovery and path
validation mechanisms. For flexibility, the BorderGuard
6000 includes its own built-in PKI that can be used independently.
Supporting geographically and technologically diverse organizations
has never been easier. The BorderGuard 6000 is
ready to deploy with minimal setup. To meet the rising demand for
wireless devices, the BorderGuard 6000 offers seamless
roaming that allows users to maintain a VPN tunnel across wireless
access points.
The BorderGuard 6000 is compliant with the important Federal Government
directive HSPD-12 and is compatible with any PKCS#11
smart card or USB token.
Iron-Clad Security
BorderGuards are configured as perfect firewalls. The only packets
forwarded from external connections to inside ports are the packets
that have been cryptographically authenticated. Conversely, the
only packets that leave the BorderGuard 6000 are those that are
encrypted and sent to an authenticated destination in the VPN. BorderGuards
do not respond to unauthenticated sources.
Blue
Ridge Networks™ developed Tunnel-Lock™
to lock down remote access devices to only one possible destination
- the corporate network via the VPN tunnel. Tunnel-Lock is applied
during the installation process and cannot be disabled. This unique
feature eliminates the possibility of backdoor attacks.
Strong two-factor authentication with
Key-Guard™ combined with the BorderGuard 6000 auto-enrollment
capability scales to meet the escalating needs of the organization
and offers a higher level of security than password-only systems
while maintaining user convenience.
Mutual Authentication - the appliance itself has
a unique RSA public key digital certificate-based identity. Each
BorderGuard 6000 within the VPN must mutually authenticate using
these certificates. Password or "shared secret" modes
of authentication are not secure and not supported by the BorderGuard
6000. The Blue Ridge Networks method of mutual authentication eliminates
the possibility of an attacker inserting himself into the VPN via
identity spoofing or a man-in-the-middle attack.
Remote Management
The
BorderGuard 6000 Management Console is a pre-configured appliance
that drops into your network, centrally and securely managing all
site-to-site and remote access connections. It supports standard
digital certificates and with the Blue Ridge Networks "Red
List" function, administrators can revoke access to specific
users in real time, even for users employing external certificate
authorities.
Different Models for Different Needs and
Budgets
Tested and Trusted
Over the years, Blue Ridge Networks earned numerous certifications
and equipment validations, including Common Criteria, FIPS 140-2,
HIPAA, and DoD SPOCK.
