Factory Shipped User Area Fireware pre-loaded from factory Benefits: Improved out-of-box experience Faster, easier deployment • One computer can get to the Internet during QSW • Register box with LSS and get feature key during QSW • No need to disconnect from Firebox, connect to live Internet connection, get feature key, reconnect to Firebox, continue Wizard • User can still finish QSW if user forgot to (or did not know to) install Fireware on the management station Not sure yet when manufacturing cutover happens 4

Power-on options Safe Mode & Recovery Mode Safe Mode (New boot method) • Power-on + down arrow button ◦ Hold button until LCD shows Watch. Guard Technologies • Available only if 9. 1 image is installed on box • Allows one computer out to the Internet • Saves time: Loads new Fireware image only if image on computer is newer Recovery Mode (Same as current method) • Power-on + up arrow button • Used to be called Safe Mode • No Internet access until QSW is done • Must have feature key to finish • New Fireware image is always loaded 5

Quick Setup Wizard New and different steps Skip instructional steps if user knows that the box is in a discoverable state Next step, discovery At least four more steps until discovery 6

Quick Setup Wizard New and changed steps Set external IP address information during QSW • External interface settings are saved to Firebox immediately • Lets user out to Internet before or during feature key step DNS information • The Firebox must have DNS information for spam. Blocker to work, and to get Gateway AV/IPS updates Feature key step of QSW: “Click to go to Live. Security site” • Works only if 9. 1 installed • Works only if booted using down arrow • Detects and displays current license if user ran the QSW previously Remote management step • Adds an external IP address to the From: field of Watch. Guard policy 7

Quarantine Server Quarantine spam Works with spam.

Blocker • Allow or tag based on categorization • No quarantine for spam with POP 3 email (only SMTP email can be quarantined) 19

POP 3 Proxy Benefits Simpler, easier-tounderstand defaults 20

POP 3 Proxy Limitations POP 3 proxy cannot block POP 3 emails: In POP 3 transaction, client gets message count first • Client keeps trying until number of messages received matches count • We must deliver the correct number of messages Attachment scanning • Inline engine – not store-and-forward • Client may get truncated attachment along with the deny message spam. Blocker cannot quarantine POP 3 messages • For the same reasons we cannot block POP 3 mail • spam. Blocker can [Allow] or [Add Subject Tab] only 21

Firewall Authentication Automatic redirect after authentication Setup > Authentication Settings • Authentication settings moved here from Setup > Global settings • New Redirect option: User’s browser is redirected to this URL five seconds after successful authentication 22

Firewall Authentication Customizable Web Server Certificate No more security warnings! Why does the user get warnings from the browser? 1. The name on the certificate does not match the URL in the browser • • • Fixed with new Fireware web server certificate Uses subject alternative names to match several possible URLs Three different options for Fireware’s web server certificate 2. Certificate is not trusted • • 23 User still must import the CA cert from the issuing authority or the (web server certificate itself) Import to trusted root store

Firewall Authentication Customizable web server certificate Three options: Default certificate • Uses each trusted interface IP address as subject alt names Third party certificate • Must import using FSM • Mark purpose as “web server” when generating Certificate Signing Request (CSR) Custom Certificate • Signed by Firebox • Option to add more subject alt name fields: IP addresses or domain names 24

Server Load Balancing Balances incoming traffic to server clusters Add it in a familiar, intuitive way. • In the To: field, select Add > Add NAT • New drop-down list to select Server Load Sharing instead of Static NAT • Sticky Connections makes sure new connections from the same client use the same server for the specified time. 25

Server Load Balancing Algorithms Supports up to 10 servers per object Algorithms: • Weighted Round-robin • Weighted Least Connections 26

Policy Manager Enhancements Import and Export from Policy Manager Useful for managing many boxes Copy back and forth between XML configurations Must be from the same version of WSM/Policy Manager • Cannot import 9. 0 object into 9. 1 Policy Manager, for example • Convert older configuration before exporting for use in newer version Objects you can import/export: • Proxy actions • Individual rulesets within proxy actions • Custom policies • Web.
