Module description

Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.

The NetScreen-5GT appliance is a feature-rich, enterprise-class, network security solution that integrates a complete set of best-in-class UTM security features including IPS, Antivirus (includes Anti-Spyware, Anti-Adware, Anti-Phishing), Anti-Spam, and Web Filtering which allow the NetScreen-5GT to defend the network against worms, Spyware, Trojans, malware and other emerging attacks. The NetScreen-5GT Ethernet solution is ideal for environments that need hardwired connectivity backed by robust network, application and payload level security.
