Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
Aruba's family of Gateways are network infrastructure devices providing secure, scalable solutions for branch and small campus networks. The Gateways provide network security policy enforcement firewall with Deep Packet Inspection, enterprise Wi-Fi, WLAN, LAN and VPN services including Aruba Dynamic Segmentation, flexible connectivity options, integrated device profiling, and role-based wireless intrusion detection and prevention (IDS/IPS). Gateways serve as central points of authentication, encryption, access control, and network coordination for all mobile network services.
