Entensys Releases Usergate Proxy & Firewall 5.0
Entensys Corporation – an International security software vendor, announced the release of UserGate Proxy & Firewall 5.0, which offers centralized management of networks and protection from complex Internet threats. UserGate now enables System Administrators to control their employees’ browsing habits and to monitor downloads in real-time. UserGate server can help boost employee productivity by giving you total control over what your employees can browse and what files they can download in real-time.
Complete Internet access control is achieved through web categorizations and web filtering techniques. BrightCloud Service and the BrightCloud Master Database are now included in UserGate and they have the largest, most accurate categorized URL database in the world.
This lets you control what sites your users can browse and lets you block access to websites that fall in particular categories, such as adult, online gaming, personal email, P2P and other work-unrelated resources. UserGate also allows you to monitor user downloads in real-time, letting you block specific file-types, such as mp3, mpeg, exe, zip, etc. It also scans all files for viruses and other malware using multiple anti-virus engines such as Panda and Kaspersky. This radically decreases the time to obtain virus signatures, thereby reducing the possibility of infection. UserGate even reduces the risk of social engineering by blocking access to phishing websites through the use of an auto-updatable database of phishing URLs.
“We examined all the recent IT trends and implemented each one that brought the slightest improvement to UserGate’s already very advanced protection, ease of use, and blazingly fast, security-enhanced Web access”, says Alexander Levchenko, President of Entensys Corporation. “We at Entensys are extremely proud of this release.”
UserGate Proxy & Firewall 5.0 includes multiple security features integrated into one complete solution. Features such as its dynamic traffic management system (Bandwidth Manager) that lets you specify a maximum amount of traffic for both directions (to and from your network or each computer on your network), a warning system of alert messages generated by UserGate server in response to virus detection, external attacks, virus definition file updates, and other server events. An Application Firewall is also implemented to manage Internet-based software at the client side with a detailed Web Statistics module and many other advanced capabilities.
