  Unique selling proposition

Conceptionally completely new representation of the Firewall configuration over a central Desktop

The Firewallsolutions in the high-end market, available on the market, differs only insignificantly today according to the security standards and functions from each other.

The largest security risk in actual firewallsolution consists of the fact that for the effective defense by attacks ever more highly complex safety functions must be integrated. This leads inevitably to the fact that the operation of these systems is very much complicated and thus the risk of user errors strongly rises. The reason lies in the complexity of the interdependences of the attitudes, which can be represented in the usual administration consoles if at all, only very unclearly.

The conceptionally new Design of the graphically oriented operator concept of gate protect solves this problem. Thus the operator surface is characterised by its ergonomic orientation at the treatment process. The representation, also different applications, is always consistent and supplies exactly the information, which the user needs for the current treatment process.

Dependence and associatednesses for example from individual personal computers to a group with same safety attitudes are recognizable on a view. Functions such as dragee and drop or twisting down simplify substantially a working with the solutions and protect the clarity. Thus for example the computer of a new selling coworker leaves itself simply by mouse-clicks to a group of computers selling to assign, which automatically inherits thereby all safety attitudes relevant for this group. At the same time the administrator over context menus can to the attitudes in arbitrary detail depth navigate, in order to assign for example on user level special rights.

Simplicity in the operation and fastidious safety functionalities like the examination of packets on application level (Application level) are thus no more contradictions, but complement each other and lead to a altogether higher safety level in the enterprise.

Companies of any size and all industries, in particular however to companies, profit which work with personal data like hospitals, lawer offices or tax counsel offices and therefore by law of a special adhesion are subject.


Extended group of users

By the new operator concept additionally the group of users lets itself be extended. So for example the selling management (or department managers) can administer the list of the blocked Web addresses themselves, without having to fall back to an IT-administrator. Therefore the attitudes are made by the person, who has the appropriate specialized knowledge, which web pages in a certain department to be permitted to be supposed.
