Introduction

The SG565, SG560, SG570, SG575 and SG580 may also connect to a DMZ
(demilitarized zone) network. A DMZ is a separate local network typically used to host
servers accessible to the outside world. It is separated both physically and by the
firewall, in order to shield your LAN from external traffic.
The CyberGuard SG appliance allows you to establish a virtual private network (VPN). A
VPN enables remote workers or branch offices to connect securely to your LAN over the
public Internet. The CyberGuard SG appliance can also connect to external VPNs as a
client. The SG550, SG560, SG565, SG570, SG575 and SG580 utilize onboard
cryptographic acceleration to ensure excellent VPN throughput.
The CyberGuard SG appliance may be configured with multiple Internet connections.
These auxiliary connections may be kept on stand-by should the primary connection
become unavailable, or maintained concurrently with the primary connection for
spreading network load.
The SG565, SG570, SG575 and SG580 incorporate a powerful web proxy cache to
improve web page response time and reduce link loads. It is designed to integrate
seamlessly with upstream proxy caches provided by ISPs.
