NEW
PRODUCT ALERT - MANAGED SECURITY GATEWAY
A
firewall is typically defined as a system designed to prevent unauthorized
access to or from a private network. But the Managed Security Gateway
from the Guardians of Data isn't your typical firewall.
Our new Managed Security
Gateway service goes above and beyond the norm. In addition to preventing
unauthorized access, it can give you real-time virus protection,
Web and e-mail content filtering, intrusion detection and prevention,
and even VPN services. All of this is managed by Norlight, which
means you won't have to worry about updating your firewall software
or signature files. Sounds pretty good, huh? Now let's talk about
those features that will leave you with a protected network and
more time on your hands.
Firewall
This is the typical part where you'll get a firewall that prevents
unauthorized access to your network. The firewall is managed by
the Guardians of Data, which means you'll get automated updates
and policy changes.
Real-Time
Virus Protection
Now this is where things start to get interesting. Through a real-time
anti-virus solution, Norlight closes your vulnerability window by
stopping viruses and worms before they enter your network. This
solution scans e-mail attachments, Web and FTP traffic, and VPN
connections in real-time, without degrading your network performance.
Content
Filtering
These days, content filtering isn't just about playing "big
brother." Web sites can contain malicious scripts that exploit
vulnerabilities in your network and allow hackers to steal personal
information from your employees. In addition, you can block your
employees from viewing or listening to non-work-related material,
thus improving their productivity.
Intrusion
Detection and Prevention
Those hackers can be tricky at times - but if they trick you and
get into your network, you could have intrusion detection and prevention
working on your side. Norlight's Managed Security Gateway will detect
and prevent a multitude of intrusions and attacks, including denial
of service (DoS) and distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks.
VPN
Norlight's Managed Security Gateway includes Virtual Private Network
(VPN) capabilities so you can use the Internet for private site-to-site
and remote access communications.
So do you want a little
more out of your firewall? Give the Guardians of Data a call at
