Editor's Notes
As seen on the chart, UGPF - this is a complex solution to manage shared Internet access on a local network, to monitor traffic and protect the corporate LAN from external threats. The solution is multifunctional /as listed on the slide/. We will review several of these functions in more detail.
Working with several providers permits the economical distribution of Internet resources. For example, a high-speed SAT line is assigned to the director, and employees receive a less expensive and slower one. In today's contemporary society, all of an employee's activity is directly tied to the Internet. That is why it is important that no work downtime occurs in the company as a result of the network being down. Thanks to the backup channel, the problem is easily resolved. When the Internet is not available on the primary channel, unknown to the user, the Internet is reconnected to the backup channel.
The next important function is management of the bandwidth for individual users, as well as for protocols and different types of traffic. This function permits the convenient and streamlined distribution of bandwidth for Internet users. For example, to conduct an online conference an employee may increase bandwidth, and accordingly, employees using only e-mail may decrease bandwidth.
IP-Telephony lessens the burden on landlines. This is especially relevant in companies where employees make a large number of calls as part of their work.
UserGate applies a multidimensional approach to LAN security and utilizes the most modern methods to combat Internet-based threats such as viruses, malware and hacker intrusions. The integrated firewall provides additional protection from attacks against the network and other type of intrusions.The integrated NAT driver permits the full utilization of the product. UserGate Proxy & Firewall support "tunnel" or pathway protocols, thereby permitting the use of VPN to securely connect remote branches, offices, banks, etc. In the line's upcoming Version 6, an integrated VPN server will be provided, which will be able to not only allow and support tunneling, but will be able to imitate a VPN connection.
It is important for any company director to know how the Internet is being used, how work time is being used, how it is all being balanced, etc. Thanks to complete monitoring and review of statistical data, it is easy for a supervisor to assess a situation and make correct decisions.
Additional monitoring and protection for the company is provided by a Filter Sites by Category Module, which is based on Entensys URL Filtering Technology. This technology uses an enormous database, more than 500 million sites that are divided into 82 categories. The advantages of this database are:- the responsiveness of the database, that is to say the content of the sites is continuously rechecked by robots and people for subject content that is related to the required categories;- daily update of the database;- it contains a large number of poorly reputed sites.According to studies, it has been determined that employees in a company utilize the Internet 42% of the time for unauthorized purposes.Firstly, this lowers employees' performance; secondly there is a great probability of malware or viruses being introduced into the system.Therefore, it is necessary to understand the importance of monitoring and managing Internet access.
/Slide for administrators/With the aid of UserGate, one may execute several routine operations that allow one to simplify their network administration.For example, the internal Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)-server automates the IP-address selection process by computers and other devices in the LAN (it is not required to manually type the address).If a computer with UserGate is connected to several LANs, UserGate server may be set up as a router, ensuring transparent and bidirectional communication between LANs.The publication of resources grants access to internal company resources such as the Web, FTP, VPN or to the mail server. And finally, remote administration allows for remote connection to the LAN via the Internet from any computer on which the UserGate Administrator Console has been installed.
