The  Riverbed Steelhead CXA-07070-B010 is a high-performance WAN optimization appliance that enhances the efficiency of data transfer across wide-area networks (WANs). It reduces latency, improves throughput, and optimizes long-distance data transfers, making it ideal for enterprises with distributed offices, remote workers, and cloud-based applications.

Security:

• Data Encryption: Supports SSL/TLS encryption for secure data transmission and can encrypt stored data to prevent unauthorized access.

• Access Control: Integrates with Active Directory (AD) and LDAP for centralized user authentication, with Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to manage access based on user roles.

• Secure Management: Uses HTTPS for web-based management and supports SSH for remote configurations, ensuring secure administrative access.

• Firewall and Network Segmentation: Provides firewall capabilities and allows network segmentation to protect critical resources.

• Audit Logging: Tracks user activities and configuration changes with audit logs and integrates with SIEM systems for centralized security monitoring.

• Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Enhances security by requiring additional verification for admin access.

• Compliance: Meets key security standards like FIPS 140-2, HIPAA, and other regulatory frameworks for sensitive data handling.
