Latest version of CyberwallPLUS focuses on host-resident firewalls
The new version of Network-1's host-resident, distributed firewalls features enhanced centralized enterprise management and intrusion prevention capabilities.
"Centralized management capabilities are significant, especially to enterprises that wish to move beyond the limitations of the personal firewall," said Avi Fogel, President and CEO of Network-1. "CyberwallPLUS offers major advantages over these products. It provides the fine access control granularity that system administrators require, and the ability to centrally formulate and push out uniform policies across the enterprise to desktops and servers. Centralized log aggregation is available for security events throughout the network and, in addition, distributed, host-resident firewalls can be pushed out across the enterprise and allowed to operate in a transparent, GUI-less form that prevents user tampering and distraction."
Network-1 is strengthening the centralized management capabilities of CyberwallPLUS in two ways. With the new version, CyberwallPLUS-CM (central management) joins the CyberwallPLUS product family as an optional product. In addition, the inherent central management capabilities of CyberwallPLUS have been enhanced.
"In rapid growth environments such as ours, centralized management of the security function is a critical enabler," said Robert J. Miller, President and CEO of CorrectNet, a leading Application Service Provider. "Centralized management of distributed firewalls that we are able to customize on a per customer basis provides us with a powerful competitive tool."
"As the use of broadband access services at distributed sites increases, centralized management is an absolute necessity to maintaining a coherent security policy," said Chris Christiansen, Vice President of Internet Infrastructure and Security at International Data Corp. (IDC), a Framingham, MA based IT Analysis Firm. "The new version of CyberwallPLUS builds on its existing management capabilities in the Windows NT and 2000 desktop and server firewall market."
