Riverbed has teamed with two leaders in the security industry to address the growing need for additional security at the branch. As enterprises are becoming global and more distributed, data security and WAN optimization are becoming critical requirements of an effectively managed network. The amount of hardware, complexity of management, bandwidth limitations between offices, and remediation of security threats make it difficult to build and support an efficient, effective and secure network.

With the enhanced Riverbed Services Platform, customers can now enjoy the industry leading WAN optimization from Riverbed as well as security features such as firewall, VPN, antivirus, and web filtering on the Steelhead appliance.
