The following are the most common deployment scenarios for the STM. Depending on your network environment and the areas that you want to protect, you can choose one or a combination of the deployment scenarios that are described in the following sections: • Gateway Deployment on this page • Server Group on page 26 • Segmented LAN Deployment on page 27 Gateway Deployment In a typical gateway deployment scenario, a single STM appliance is installed at the gateway-between the firewall and the LAN core switch-to protect the network against all malware threats entering and leaving the gateway. Installing the STM behind the firewall protects it from denial of service (DoS) attacks. Chapter 2. Using the Setup Wizard to Provision the STM in Your Network | 25
