Press Release
The new StoneGate FW-310 provides remote offices with new generation firewall functionality and increased performance
Full-scale network security at a competitive cost-performance ratio
Helsinki, Finland – 7 October 2008 – Stonesoft, an innovative
provider of integrated network security and business continuity solutions, introduces StoneGate
FW-310 for remote offices with increased throughput and performance.
Remote offices cannot afford service downtime or security threats any more than central sites
do, but they often lack own resources for on-site administration. StoneGate FW-310 has been
designed to meet the needs of remote offices, providing full-scale network security and guaranteed
business continuity.
“The deployment and management of a full-scale network security solution requires resources
and competence that most remote offices just don’t have. We have seen there is a clear demand for a
solution that is easy to use and protects network data at the perimeter or at network segments. The
new StoneGate FW-310 offers increased throughput and performance, enabling remote offices to
protect their networks at a very competitive cost-performance and cost-functionality ratio”,
highlights
Klaus Majewski, Vice President of Marketing at Stonesoft.
Comprehensive protection
More and more remote offices require a direct connection to the Internet. Whereas the central site often offers good protection against malicious traffic and threats from the Internet, this requires routing the Internet through it and may slow down the connection speed.The StoneGate FW-310 offers new generation firewall features to protect remote offices that want to use Internet directly. With its integrated full intrusion prevention capabilities, it allows secure web surfing from remote offices.
“We used our extensive experience in the field of intrusion prevention and added this functionality as an integrated part of the new firewall appliance. The new StoneGate FW-310 has been designed to meet the needs of remote offices for security, business continuity and uninterrupted information flow”, said Klaus Majewski.
