| Panda GateDefender Integra 300, Winner of BYTE Review Panda GateDefender Integra 300 has won a BYTE magazine (Spain) comparative review of security appliances and received the magazine's recommended product seal of approval. "Panda's GateDefender Integra 300 offers truly complete perimeter protection", according to BYTE. "This is a complete device offering great performance as well as simple management and configuration, " explains the magazine. The combination of reactive and proactive -TruPreventTM- technologies is another feature highlighted in the review: "This makes it more effective and adaptable in the face of all types of attacks, whether they have been previously identified or not. And it is always up-to-date, with no need for user intervention". "Panda Software is well-known for effective detection of malware. In its latest programs it has managed to implement a highly effective firewall with proprietary technology, offering both simple configuration as well as high-performance and accuracy", states BYTE. The magazine also positively rates its ease of use: "Configuration and maintenance are both relatively simple, as the system itself maintains the maximum level of security. At most, an administrator's work might involve checking the activity log to see if there are any types of threats or attacks against the system." BYTE also remarks: "Panda has also simplified configuration and management with more intuitive screens without excessive amounts of options. Services can be restored with no need to restart the device. This is an excellent option as it means security levels are kept at a maximum even if a problem occurs." "This is a highly efficient device offering comprehensive corporate security and great performance at an affordable price. It is the ideal device to create complete perimeter security and forget about the hassles of maintenance, " concludes the magazine. Panda Software has just launched a new version of Panda GateDefender Integra. This new version offers a series of new features including greater protection against unknown attacks, remote user authentication, support for ROI estimates and enhanced graphic reports. GateDefender Integra is a UTM (Unified Threat Management) appliance from Panda Software. This hardware device with dedicated software is designed to protect networks using all necessary types of protection: firewall, VPN service, Intrusion Prevention System, anti-malware, content filtering, anti-spam protection and web filtering. The different types of protection work in unison to offer complete security against both known and unknown network threats and content threats. The device is installed at the gateway between the corporate network and the Internet or another network, just like a firewall, and is managed through a straight-forward centralized web administration console. Therefore it can scan all inbound and outbound traffic in the corporate network and from some network zones to others, ensuring complete protection for all zones. It also automatically updates the virus signature file every 15 minutes. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Computing News :: home page |
