Industry pain points

Why status quo falls short

  • Software performance ceiling

    High PPS melts CPU and jitters workloads.

  • Blind east-west moves

    Internal flows lack line-rate inspection.

  • Single-point failure

    Border box down means full exposure.

GCSA approach

How we solve it

  • Line-rate filtering

    Hardware ACL and stateful checks at low latency.

  • DPI IDS

    Tunnels, malicious payloads, C2 beacons.

  • Hardware HA

    Active/passive pairs with session sync.

Implementation

NGFW + IDS inline deployment

Transparent tap for north-south and east-west flows; zero-downtime ACL migration with live IDS feeds.

40GbpsSingle-node throughput

  1. Topology tap assessment

    Define inline/tap mode, HA failover, and fail-open bypass strategy.

    Includes L2/L3 transparent bridge options

  2. ACL policy migration

    Export from Fortinet/Palo Alto and map to new platform rule sets.

    Diff report flags conflicts and redundant rules

  3. Load test & cutover

    Mirror production traffic to validate throughput/latency; switch in maintenance window.

    Rollback plan ≤5 minutes

  4. IDS + SOC integration

    Snort/Suricata signature subscriptions; events pushed to Splunk/QRadar.
