The World 1st Security L2 Switch, SG2024
A University
SG2024 was introduced to develop network safety
Located in Seoul, A University intends to raise talented personnel for world peace and human cultural development based on the ideal of teaching with love and seeking truth for the world. The University introduced SG2024 as a means of intranet stability project and is evaluated to be successful in an advanced security network construction.
Background
• To solve frequent network accident by solving unstableness of intranet
A University suffered from frequent network accident. Though there were many cases of network access troubles in research rooms or dormitory, the administrator in the computer room had difficulties in figuring out causes and finding solution. They even could not respond as the cause was unclear. At that moment, they reviewed SG2024 harmful traffic blocking solution and carried out large scale of stability project to change the whole intranet work group switch into SG2024. It was a great success that enabled the university to secure safe network condition.
Details of introduction
• Stable network system by blocking harmful traffic
A University needed network stability due to serious harmful traffic. In particular harmful traffic from engineering building caused whole network problem. There were frequent reports that no internet access was available in research rooms or dormitory. But, as there was no system to monitor internal cause with shortage of personnel, they could not check cause of harmful traffic. So, they decided to introduce a solution to pursue/block spots of troubles. But, they had difficulties in finding proper solutions. And then they came to review SG2024 as an integrated management system with high performance switch. The director of the computer room thought they had to test the solution in an actual environment for verifying completeness and reliability. Thus, we decided to test SG2024 in a part of intranet where there were the most serious problems
It was the engineering building. Thus, the director of the computer room decided to check the performance of SG2024.
No sooner had it been introduced, SG2024 began to detect and block ARP solution. A University could figure out the details of harmful traffic real-time via VNM. Thus, no more trouble was made after the installation of SG2024.
Thus, A University came to have a confident of SG2024 through actual test and decided to change whole switch to SG2024.
Suggestions
• Maximize work efficiency by automated harmful traffic blocking
The company suggested the following 4 expectation effects.
Low investment cost
It reduces unnecessary investment cost by introducing L2 Switch (SG2024) instead of introducing expensive security equipment
Simple and short-term construction
Complete security solution by replacing current C Switch to switch (now change of existing network)
Rapid problem diagnosis and response
- Concentrated L2 level network resource control available using VNM
- Diagnosis of internal network problem and easy pursuit of attacking source
High security and easy maintenance
- Active harmful traffic without intervention of the administrator
- Improvement of work concentration through reducing network trouble work
Solution
• Network stabilization and integrated control system realization
The existing switch was replaced to SG2024 to block intranet harmful traffic and manage internal network resources. And, the computer room made integrated management of access level network via SG2024 by introducing VNM.
Result
• Stable intranet by simple introduction
The case is a good example to construct stable network via SG2024 without intervention of the administrator. And as every work group switch was replaced to SG2024, it could make full use of SG2024.
The effects of SG2024 introduction are as follows.
1. It constructed to manage and pursue network user in detail by introducing SG2024 in the closest location of the user. Accordingly, it could figure out an attacking spot simply and respond rapidly in case of attack or harmful traffic.
2. It minimized damage of internal attacking as it enabled to block attacking/hacking of user unit.
3. It improved internal/external security level by the effect of system resource protection of core from DoS or DDoS attack.
4. It could prevent whole network trouble due to attack of partial section
5. It could secure continuity of work even in the harmful traffic as the selective blocking of harmful traffic per user unit is completely applied
6. It does not need to respond manually in case of trouble as the attack is blocked real-time without intervention of the administrator.
7. It could reduce management cost as it enabled to manage network resource (IP/MA) per user unit using VNM and pursue attacking/hacking
A University had a great satisfaction and even intended to set up a plan to introduce SG2024 to whole L2 switch in the future.
