Advanced security solutions by Cymphonix Version 7

Johannesburg, 30 Sep 2006

Network Composer Version 7 is the latest version of Cymphonix's Internet data stream control technology. This newest and most advanced release from Cymphonix includes robust policy management features and unique innovations - delivering network administrator's unparalleled power over their Internet connections.

This award-winning gateway appliance solves the problems created when users, applications and threats fight for limited network resources. The latest firmware introduces anonymous proxy blocking, policy management and easier navigation that give network administrator's unparalleled control over their Internet data stream.

"Network Composer Version 7 provides the capabilities our customers need," said Thomas Lee, Director of NetSpeed, the exclusive distributor of this product in South Africa. "Version 7 allows our customers to manage multiple Internet policies and get better, safer performance from their Internet connection."

Version 7 also delivers policy management features that allow administrators to control who can access the Internet, when they can access it, what content they can access as well as provide bandwidth shaping for both users and applications within those policies. For example, an organization could easily enforce a policy that allows the accounting department open access to the Internet after business and during the lunch hour with content filtering in place during business hours. Then they can ensure that during business hours the financial applications have priority on the network so their mission-critical traffic is getting through when it needs to.

"With bandwidth so vital to today's organizations, managers need the ability to ensure that it's available for their mission-critical traffic," said Cymphonix CEO, Kevin Santiago. "Network Composer gives them the ability to block undesirable and malicious traffic and prioritize their mission-critical traffic, whether their organization has 15 people or five thousand."

Network Composer Version 7 creates more flexible navigation in terms of existing monitoring and reporting tools. It allows real-time monitoring, meaning administrators can easily switch back and forth between historical and real-time reports.

Brent Nixon, Cymphonix vice-president of product development said; "With our patented deep-scanning technology, we are able to identify traffic going through improper ports in order to block usage of anonymous proxies and prevent users from bypassing an organisation's filters.

Network Composer Version 7 contains the following new features:

* Anonymous Proxy Blocker
* Policy Management
* Application Bandwidth Management by Group
* Internet Content Policy Enforcement
* Flexible Time-of-Day Policy Control
* Embedded Real-Time Monitoring
* Multi Workspace User Interface
* Internet Event Correlation
