Secure By Default

Of the potential ways an intruder may gain access to sensitive data, using default passwords or 'sniffing' unencrypted passwords are often effective against network components which are not secure by default. Zeus Extensible Traffic Manager (ZXTM) makes use of a variety of techniques to ensure that from the moment it starts up, it is a secure and no-risk enhancement to your network.

How is the user interface protected? 

Access to ZXTM's web-based user interface is permitted only over an encrypted connection, so eavesdropping on the connection is prevented. Where passwords are stored within ZXTM, they are always stored securely as encrypted hashes.

How is communication between ZXTM units secured? 

All network communication between ZXTM instances is over an encrypted channel to ensure that no sensitive configuration data is betrayed to unintended third parties sniffing the network. This means that your configuration information is secure all the way from your web browser to each of the ZXTM units.

How can ZXTM help me secure the rest of my network? 

ZXTM has been rigorously tested prior to release to ensure that it does not introduce any vulnerabilities on to your network. In addition, ZXTM can be used to protect more vulnerable services on your network in a number of ways, for instance by acting as a SSL proxy to unencrypted application servers, by performing request filtering to discard malicious requests or by mitigating against distributed Denial-of-Service attacks.
