Optenet Appliance Family

Secure and Control Web and Mail Traffic with Optenet Secure Web Gateway Appliance

The number of security threats introduced by Web and Mail traffic has reached epidemic proportions. Traditional gateway defences are proving to be inadequate against a variety of Web-based malware, leaving corporate networks exposed to the inherent danger posed by these threats. The speed, variety and maliciousness of Web-based malware attacks highlight the importance of a robust, secure platform to protect the enterprise network perimeter from such threats.

In addition to the security risks introduced by Web-based malware and spyware, Web traffic also exposes an organization to compliance and productivity risks introduced by inappropriate usage of the Web within an organization.

The Optenet Appliance Family is the only Web and Mail security appliance. Customers enjoy low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), as these powerful applications are integrated and managed on a single appliance. Robust management and reporting tools deliver ease of administration, flexibility and control, and complete visibility into policy-related and threat-related activities.

Features

Innovative Security Platform Delivers Industry-Leading Performance and Accuracy

Optenet appliances help enterprises secure and control Web and Mail traffic by offering multiple layers of malware defense on a single, integrated appliance. These layers of defense include web filter, multiple anti-malware scanning engines and Layer 2 to Layer 7  (L4 – L7) Traffic Monitor with CCOTTATM Technology.

Comprehensive Management and Reporting Capabilities

Optenet provides a single, easy-to-understand view of all access and security policies configured on the appliance. Administrators manage all Web access policies (including those for URL filtering, reputation filtering and malware filtering) from a single location. Additionally, administrators can mix and match client-based criteria (e.g. client IP address, authenticated username, etc.) and destination-based criteria (e.g. URL, URL category, proxy port, etc.) to flexibly determine when each set of policies is applied.

Integrated authentication via standard directories (such as LDAP or Active Directory) and the ability to implement multiple authentication schemes lets enterprises deploy the Optenet Appliances seamlessly, while taking advantage of pre-existing authentication and access control policies within their networks.

Extensive logging allows enterprises to keep track of all Web traffic, benign and malware-related. Standard log formats include Apache, Squid or Squid-detailed-along with the ability to specify custom log formats, consistent with enterprise logging policies. Administrators can enable or disable log subscriptions or set log subscriptions, or set log rollover and size limits, based on log types.
