As in previous years, the German-based network security specialist gateProtect is exhibiting at CeBIT, underscoring its strong market presence as well as its healthy growth. Show visitors in Hanover will be able to see a preview of gateProtect’s new generation of Unified Threat Management (UTM) firewalls, version 8.6, from 2-6 March 2010 at CeBIT. The new release provides automatic updates of the client software, enhanced performance of encryption technologies, and support for in-house DynDNS servers. Other new products on show at CeBIT include gateProtect’s new range of appliances designed for use in large environments. The company can be found on Stand B37 in Hall 11. In addition, gateProtect is organising a press conference on security in the context of increasing globalization and will present an overview of its product roadmap. The briefing is being held on 2nd March from 9.00am to 10.00am in Room 112 of the Convention Centre.
“CeBIT has always been the most important platform for gateProtect, helping us to strengthen existing customer and partner relationships,” says Dennis Monner, CEO of gateProtect. “This year, we have a 120m2 stand where visitors can view our current range of network security solutions. They’ll also be able to see several live demos which give new and interesting insight into the world of security. Stand visitors can discover how our unique software design, eGUI®, can streamline the management of security solutions and help them achieve significant cost savings.”
The new gateProtect V 8.6 firewall generation will have its debut at this year’s CeBIT. It offers users the following new features:
- Automatic client software updates
The gateProtect firewall has been able to update itself over the web since version 8.5. In the new version, gateProtect 8.6, the automatic update capability is extended to the client software.
- Performance boost with support for cryptographic accelerators
The new generation of appliances – GPX-800 and later – includes crypto accelerator processors that support the mathematical functions inherent in encryption and decryption processes. As such, they conform to the security requirements of the most demanding environments. With the new version, gateProtect V8.6, these are also supported by IPSec und VPN SSL, giving customers much better performance in these areas.
- Support for in-house DynDNS servers
Many administrators use publicly available DynDNS servers (e.g. from DynDNS.org). In some cases it makes sense to create these services in-house. With gateProtect V8.6, users can add and use DynDNS servers created in-house as well as those from official sources.
Users can easily manage gateProtect UTM appliances with the end-to-end graphical administration console, which clearly portrays all the underlying security processes. This makes administration much less time-consuming while minimising the risk of configuration errors. gateProtect is the only provider on the UTM market able to offer these benefits. Users can also choose to manage the appliances centrally via the gateProtect Command Center. As fully integrated network security solutions, gateProtect Unified Threat Management appliances protect midsized and large companies from known and unknown threats while helping firms to reduce the cost and time involved in managing IT security.
Existing gateProtect customers can download the new software version with immediate effect from the company’s website at www.gateprotect.com. Further information is available from gateProtect at +49 40 278 850 or by email at sales@gateprotect.de.
