Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
The TechGuard Security PoliWall is a network boundary device that rapidly determines the country of origin for all incoming packets using HIPPIE (High-speed Internet Protocol Packet Inspection Engine) technology. Packets are filtered according to defined policies, exception lists, and Pre-Compiled Exception Lists (PCEL) that are bound to rule groups for specific network addresses and protocols. PoliWall also provides administrators with the ability to create maps which exclude traffic from selected countries.
