Product Overview
Available As:
Perimeter security prevents the bad guys, their attacks, viruses, spyware and malware from ever getting beyond the gatekeeper to your network. Controls the Internet services users can access, as well as performing the traditional role of blocking access to hackers and other Internet threats.
The Guardian Web Security module provides fully featured web security and content filtering (as opposed to simplistic blocking based on URL alone). Guardian dynamically analyses, understands and categorises web pages so that all undesirable material and hidden content (including viruses, malware, anonymous proxies and browser exploits) can be accurately detected and blocked. Time based controls facilitate flexible and user-friendly filtering and advanced reporting tools help managers to monitor, understand and interpret web use.
The integrated email security module protects mail servers and user inboxes by enforcing email security at the network perimeter, before threats reach their intended targets. Support for the highly effective Mailshell anti-spam engine means unwanted emails can also be accurately identified and eliminated.
All models include a fully featured VPN gateway that supports site-to-site (inter office) VPN connectivity to both Smoothwall and other manufacturers’ systems, as well as clientless Secure Remote Access for mobile users, home workers and wireless connections. (L2TP, IPSec & SSL)
Logs intrusion attempts and gives, through reporting, an overall view of the attacks occurring to your systems.
The internal firewall allows local networks and DeMilitarised Zones (DMZs) to be segregated into multiple physically separate zones, with policy based user-level control of who can access what systems and services in other zones. Such segregation protects mission critical systems and confidential information from accidental access, inquisitive users or malicious interference.
Both outgoing and incoming traffic can be load balanced across two or more connections, or use protocol specific routing to separate high priority traffic onto a dedicated connection. In the event of an ISP/connection failure, all affected traffic is automatically re-routed to an alternate connection.
