– AppRF technology leverages deep packet inspection to classify and block, prioritize, or limit bandwidth for thousands of
applications in a range of categories
• Security
– Integrated wireless intrusion protection offers threat protection and mitigation, and eliminates the need for separate RF
sensors and security appliances.
– IP reputation and security services identify, classify, and block malicious files, URLs and IPs, providing comprehensive
protection against advanced online threats.
– Integrated Trusted Platform Module (TPM) for secure storage of credentials and keys.
