Panda Security has launched the 9000 series of the Panda GateDefender Performa, a security appliance that offers maximum protection for the network perimeter - the main entry point for network threats - thereby preventing malware, spam and unproductive Web content from entering organisations.
“Security appliances are critical tools because they are a first line of defence in the main threat entry point in networks,” says Jeremy Matthews, head of Panda Security's sub-Saharan operations.
“The new GateDefender Performa not only has the most comprehensive content-based threat protection available, but it also scans inbound/outbound traffic in all the most widely-used Internet protocols.”
He adds: “A GateDefender adds enormous value to companies by reducing costs, increasing productivity, guaranteeing business continuity and reinforcing of risk system management.”
The new models run on hardware developed by Sun Microsystems which will also be offering global support for the Panda appliances. “With Sun hardware, we have the confidence of knowing that we are running one of the most powerful and reliable platforms,” says Matthews.
Available in four different models to adapt to the needs of any size of company, the appliance offers three protection modules which can be bought either individually or as a set: the anti-malware module, which includes content-filtering; the anti-spam module and a Web filter module for filtering URLs and blocking P2P and IM applications.
The new range's software has also been updated, with a series of improvements to the automatic detection and disinfection of new threats, and greater interaction with Collective Intelligence - Panda Security's “in the cloud” detection model. This ensures the solution offers even more proactive protection.
“Panda GateDefender Performa is as simple as ever to install and integrate into networks, without interfering with productivity or performance,” says Matthews. “As it operates automatically, without intervention, the product is also one of the simplest perimeter protection solutions on the market. We developed Panda GateDefender Performa to be a perimeter security solution that offers maximum efficiency in corporate IT security.”
