The biggest security risk faced by today’s IT networks is that in order to effectively combat attacks, the safety functions integrated in them must be increasingly complex. Without a doubt this makes operating these systems equally complex and the risk of user error rises exponentially. The reason lies in the many interactions of the settings which cannot be shown clearly, or not at all, on commonly available consoles.

Operating and setting errors in IT security systems are therefore the cause of 95% of the safety lapses suffered by companies.

The eGUI® (ergonomic Graphic User Interface) technology developed in the gateProtect laboratories solves this problem. The new user interface is remarkable for its ergonomic approach to the processing operation. The display, even of sometimes very different applications, is always consistent and delivers only the information required by the user for the current operation.

A measure of the quality of the gateProtect operator concept are the ergonomic principles governing human-machine interaction, as formulated in ISO 9241, part 110.

Some benefits of the eGUI®
- Visual feedback immediately supplied for each setting
- Self-explanatory functions
- Central overview of all active services
- Immediate overview of the whole network configuration
- Layer and zoom function for networks up to 10,000 users
