Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
DiamondVPN is a rack-mounted network security appliance that can be installed to enforce a single security policy for a workgroup or department operating on your enterprise network. The DiamondVPN can also be deployed at the edge of a corporate LAN for outbound communications security and control of access to the LAN. The DiamondVPN supports secure pass-through to devices protected by other DiamondTEK products. This allows full-path, end-to-end security in combination with conventional site-to-site and remote-to-site tunneled communications.
