Security
The SBG940 provides:
A firewall to protect the SBG940 LAN from undesired attacks over the Internet
For wireless transmissions, data encryption and network access control
Network Address Translation (NAT) provides some security because the IP addresses of SBG940 LAN computers
are not visible on the Internet.
This diagram does not necessarily correspond to the network cabling. A full discussion of network security is
beyond the scope of this document.

Firewall
The SBG940 firewall protects the SBG940 LAN from undesired attacks and other intrusions from the Internet. It
provides an advanced integrated stateful-inspection firewall supporting intrusion detection, session tracking, and
denial-of-service attack prevention. The firewall:
Maintains state data for every TCP/IP session on the OSI network and transport layers
Monitors all incoming and outgoing packets, applies the firewall policy to each one, and screens for improper
packets and intrusion attempts
Provides comprehensive logging for all:
User authentications
Rejected internal and external connection requests
Session creation and termination
Outside attacks (intrusion detection)
You can configure the firewall filters to set rules for port usage. For information about choosing a predefined
firewall policy template, seeSetting the Firewall Policy”.
