Unlike traditional firewalls which use UNIX-based proxy applications that are vulnerable to penetration by hackers, GemGuard is highly resistant to attacks by both malicious insiders and external hackers because it is a secure embedded system built on the A1 certified GTNP foundation. It is interoperable with most commercial application software, network, and server products. Hence, it can be incrementally configured into an existing system with minimal impact on user functionality for desktop and mobile computing.
Data integrity is protected rigorously in transit and in storage.
GemGuard monitors and controls the information flow between domains and virtual channels within the domains. GemGuard monitors and collects security-relevant auditable events in an encrypted and cryptographically sealed audit log. It also provides support for monitoring and auditing tools, and enterprise-wide network management software running on other audit servers. Gemini products and services can provide users the ability to immediately detect exposure. Depending on each case, users may decide to either take immediate corrective action or to tolerate an exposure and deal with it at a later time.
