An Internet firewall is essential for any business and person accessing the web even once. The Internet firewall is the protection system against hackers, spyware, Trojans, worms, viruses and any malicious attacks on a company’s network or a personal computer.
Consider how much data has been lost due to hacking, viruses etc. The damage and security breaches can be detrimental to a company. Take for instance, a university computer lab where all the workstations have access to the web. Even though emailing may not be possible, every time a person accesses the web, the whole network of university is at risk of attacks on their data, hardware and operating systems. Without an Internet firewall in place, the university will spend hundreds and thousands daily for repairing the damage caused.
The Internet firewall solutions offered by DrayTek address any of the security problems enterprises can face. This includes:
-
Packet filtering where every packet of data sent or received through the network and workstations are investigated and accepted or rejected according the rules set up for the system.
-
Proxy server solutions where all data passing through the network needs to pass through the proxy server acting the main security point and serves to hide the true addresses of the computers in the network.
-
Application gateway protection.
-
TCP and UDP protection measures.
-
Data encryption.
The DrayTek routers provide companies essential protection because each one of them has a built-in Internet firewall. The ease of setup is just one more reason why small and medium size companies all over the world, rely on DrayTek devices. Since a hardware Internet firewall forms part of every DrayTek router, companies have more protection than with software only.
There is however, still a place for additional security software to ensure that your network has adequate protection against malicious attacks and information theft.
The advantages of our built-in hardware over software protection include:
-
Cost effectiveness since every computer on the network normally requires licensing.
-
Less administration involved than with software security_
-
Licensing needs to be renewed and the software upgraded every now and then as well as updates downloaded.
-
No popup messages on screens.
-
No slowing down of the computers due to resource allocation.
Our solutions more than just provide security_ One of our solutions for instance, the Vigor 2600 VG provides companies solutions for telecommuting workers. This excellent product reduces cost of calls since it enables the company to communicate with each of its workers at their off site offices through wireless communication. By placing a VOIP system at each of the locations including the head office, free telephonic communication is made possible among the main office and other locations. The online sharing capability through the ADSL is secured through the built-in Internet firewall.
For larger companies cost effective communication through the installation of VPN applications is made possible with 2900 series. Where the 2600 series offers 16 VPN channels, the 2900 series offers 32 VPN channels enabling more connection. Security however, is not compromised and installation is still easy. It doesn’t come with an ADSL as it is plugged in with the existing modem.
Companies looking for an excellent Internet firewall solution should consider the Vigor 2910 V, which is also an outstanding VPN instrument. Wireless encryption is now possible with this device. It provides a full 32 VPN channels and has all the required features to ensure flexibility and security_
For SOHO operations the DrayTek 2500 series is more suitable for communication and broadband connectivity. Once again, a built in Internet firewall provides adequate protection against security threats. It includes e-mail detection and the important VPN support. Cost effective and well secured communication is made possible through innovative technology offered by DrayTek.
