StoneGate secure connectivity solution for remote offices provides full-scale network security with ultimate ease of use
Securing the information flow of distributed organizations
HELSINKI, Finland– 10 May, 2007 – Stonesoft Corporation, an innovative provider of integrated
network security and business continuity solutions, introduces a secure connectivity solution for
the demands of distributed organizations with remote offices. The solution comprises of the
StoneGate™
FW-300
Firewall and
IPS-400
Intrusion Prevention System, providing uncompromised security with ultimate ease of management
and use.
“Network security of enterprises is only as strong as their weakest link. Remote offices
usually do not have own recourses for on-site maintenance or complicated administration, yet they
cannot afford service downtime or security threats any more than the headquarters do. Thus, we saw
there is a clear demand for an all-in-one solution that is easy to use, while providing full-scale
network security”, says Klaus Majewski, Product Marketing Manager at Stonesoft.
The StoneGate secure connectivity solution for remote offices meets the needs of distributed
organizations, providing service continuity and enterprise class security at a competitive
cost-performance and cost-functionality ratio.
The StoneGate FW-300 protects data security at the perimeter or at the network segments and
the IPS-400 defends the network proactively by detecting malicious packets within regular network
traffic and blocking them before any damage occurs. Implementing the IPS expands the defence
further within networks enabling comprehensive, multi-dimensional network security.
The Firewall and IPS work together to provide intelligent defence all over the enterprise
network. Appliance clustering and robust connection of the solution guarantee continuous protection
and eliminate the need for maintenance downtime.
Key benefits of StoneGate secure connectivity solution for remote offices:
- Reliable and cost-efficient connections between offices using VPN over multiple ISPs (Internet Service Providers) simultaneously. The patented Multi-Link™ technology provides the fastest connection available and offers on-demand reserve capacity to overloaded Internet connections.
- Centralized management of appliances and remote offices with StoneGate Management Center (SMC). The administrator has constant visibility and knowledge on the state of the whole network, which significantly raises the level of network security. Remote upgrades and updates ensure easy maintenance with low cost of operation.
- Guaranteed business continuity and protected investment with flexibility and scalability. The StoneGate secure connectivity solution for remote offices allows for easy deployment of remote office security and is easily integrated with existing security engines.
The new StoneGateTM FW-300 and StoneGateTM IPS-400 appliances are available now.
