Internet Security Systems, Inc (ISS) today announced the general availability of its Proventia M10 integrated security appliance, providing a complete, easy-to-use and cost-effective security solution for remote offices and medium-sized enterprises that often lack dedicated security resources and budget, but want protection from online attacks and productivity losses caused by spam, unwanted Web content and network downtime.
According to a study from In-Stat/MDR titled: Business Broadband@Home: High-speed Internet and the at-home worker in the US, the number of remote workers in the US is expected to grow to 51 million by 2008. This increasing number of remote offices makes cyber-security an increasing concern as each employee`s physical location multiplies the points of access for potential Internet attacks such as worms or malicious code.
The Proventia M10 appliance unifies firewall, virtual private network (VPN), anti-virus, content filtering, anti-spam and intrusion detection and prevention into a single, affordable engine governed by one management system. With the Proventia M10 in place, enterprises no longer need to acquire, install and manage separate gateway and network firewall, anti-virus, intrusion prevention and VPN products.
"The Proventia M10 integrated security appliance reduces the total cost of ownership usually associated with having a complete security solution," says Peter Stremus, marketing director, EMEA, from Internet Security Systems. "Not only is the Proventia M10 simple to install and manage - it provides out of the box protection against a wide range of sophisticated new Internet threats."
Proventia integrated security appliances are designed to stop Internet threats before they impact business, preserving network uptime, improving productivity and preventing embarrassing security breaches. With its combined functionality, the Proventia M10 automatically blocks viruses, worms, hackers and major Internet attacks like SQL Slammer, Code Red and MS Blaster. Proventia security appliances also receive updated protection, from ISS` X-Force research and development team, for new software vulnerabilities to keep organisations ahead of the next threat.

Available now, the Proventia M10 protects the gateway and the network up to 100 nodes. For more information and pricing for the Proventia M10, please visit www.condyn.net or call (012) 665 4356.
