Next Generation UTM Appliances

The Next Generation UTM Appliances from gateProtect are characterized by optimal scalability, security
and performance. Thanks to a unique and patented eGUI technology, gateProtect sets standards when it
comes to the configuration of modern security systems.
gateProtects eGUI technology raises operating security and efficiency to a previously unattained level.
Furthermore, gateProtect is the only manufacturer worldwide to implement the ISO NORM 9241 standard.
GPA 250 Next Generation UTM Appliances have extensive features including VLAN, Layer-8 technology,
single sign-on, bridging, VPN SSL via x.509 certificates & VPN IPSec, IDS/ IPS, traffic shaping, antivirus,
zero hour mail protection, web filtering and the very latest procedure-oriented eGUI technology.

The eGUI is a pleasure to work with [...]

ergonomic Graphical User Interface

The unique eGUI technology revolutionizes the operation of Next Generation UTM Appliances
The greatest security risk facing modern IT networks relates to the fact that increasingly complex security functions are required in order to effectively block attacks.
This inevitably leads to systems that are extremely complex to operate, which, in turn, means the risk of user errors increases exponentially. As a result of this, operation and configuration errors in IT systems are the cause of around 98% of all security vulnerabilities in companies nowadays. This risk, together with the constantly
increasing amount of work that is required to manage IT security systems, means a whole new approach to the operation of professional security solutions is required.

The answer to these problems is the patented and unique

eGUI technology from gateProtect.
The interface concepts of the gateProtect competitors follow a functionoriented approach. However, this approach does not include the interaction
between humans and machines. gateProtect therefore developed the eGUI
technology, which utilizes a process-oriented approach that includes the consequent implementation of the ISO Norm 9241 standard.
The program also provides a consistent layout, which only displays the specific
information that the user actually requires for the current activity, no matter
which application is being used.

Benefits provided by the eGUI interface

_Enormous time-savings through a reduction in the number of rules
_Reduction in the number of user errors thanks to the visualization
of the entire network
_Reduced operating costs through active management

Cutting-edge security features

The combination of cutting-edge security features in a
Next Generation UTM Appliance
The changing network security requirements of the market as well as companies necessitate the
next generation of security systems. gateProtect combines a wide range of the most modern and
innovative security functions in a single system, the gateProtect Next Generation UTM Appliances.
Below you will find an overview of some of the next generation features from gateProtect
(A complete list can be found on the last page):
Web Filter with integrated Anti-Phishing
The gateProtect web filter, together with the gateProtect anti-virus and gateProtect spam protection features, provide a comprehensive level of protection against spyware, phishing, malicious
site content and much, much more. The gateProtect web filter can be configured using 64 different categories, which can be combined flexibly in line with the specific requirements of the
company and, therefore, provide a maximum level of protection.

Anti-Virus with spy / malware protection

In order to guarantee a comprehensive level of protection for the entire network, all e-mail and web traffic is scanned directly on the gateway using
gateProtects anti-virus solution. As a result of this, serious threats or malware can be blocked from entering the network. The solution offers real-time protection for all common forms of spyware/malware, including viruses, worms, spyware, backdoors (trapdoors), Trojans and even keyloggers.
Zero-Hour Spam Protection with Recurrent Pattern Detection
The zero-hour spam protection feature from gateProtect is a particularly powerful and extremely accurate solution. Unlike signature-based protection, this
solution uses the RPD technology (recurrent pattern detection) that enables new spam mails to be detected before they actually start to spread. A recognition
rate of more than 98% is achieved with a false positive rate of only 0,0006667 per mil.
Network Intrusion Detection and Prevention
The network intrusion detection and prevention system from gateProtect utilizes a signature-based approach to intrusion detection. The network traffic is
checked continually using specific algorithms and attack patterns. This enables vulnerabilities in network protocols (such as TCP, UDP, IP, ICMP, SSL, SSH,
HTTP and ARP) to be identified and, if required, protective measures to be taken immediately.
Centralised VPN authentication for IPSec & SSL VIEW 1
gateProtect supports all common forms of site-to-site and client-to-site (road warrior) VPN connections via IPSec and SSL. Remote users can utilize all services when working via SSL without any restrictions. Furthermore, gateProtect also offers an SSL site-to-site solution with X.509 certificates, which can also
work in bridge mode. This enables distributed corporate networks to be connected via the Internet using strong encryption, even if these networks utilize the
same subnets.
Identity-based Bandwith Management VIEW 2+3
The bandwidth management feature from gateProtect enables bandwidths to be defined at virtually any level, based on specific users, groups and applications. In combination with the quality of service and Internet failover functions, gateProtects bandwidth management feature is the most comprehensive
solution available on the market.
