WatchGuard boosts Firewall Capabilities

VARINDIA- INDIA'S FRONTLINE IT MAGAZINE

WatchGuard boosts Firewall Capabilities WatchGuard Technologies has released new enhancements to its extensible threat management (XTM) family of multifunction firewalls. In this latest release of the XTM operating system, administrators gain the ability to manage search capabilities, as well as gain additional Application Control features to manage the explosive-growth landscape of web applications.

With the new WatchGuard Safe Search feature, administrators can manage and enforce search engine filtering settings to ensure users, and in particular children, do not see adult content in their search results. By setting this option at the XTM firewall gateway, administrators override whatever preference users set in their web browser. WatchGuard Safe Search works with leading search engines, including Google, Bing, Yahoo, and Ask.com. Additionally, the safe search feature enforces "safety mode" on YouTube to filter out and remove objectionable content or comments. This is especially useful for schools and libraries in the U.S. that need to lock down Internet search results to comply with the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA).

With this new XTM release, WatchGuard further enhances its Application Control functionality. Now, administrators can manage more than 1,800 applications, which squarely positions WatchGuard Application Control above any competitive UTM or Next Generation Firewall. Notable additions include identification of Android and iPhone mobile phone browsers, and popular social networking and web 2.0 applications from around the world, such as Viadeo (France), Tuenti (Spain), Hyves (The Netherlands) and Mixi.jp (Japan).

"WatchGuard is the leading provider of integrated UTM and Application Control technologies, and as the leader, we continue to innovate and provide cutting-edge services to protect business networks, applications and data," said Tim Helming, Director of Product Management, WatchGuard Technologies. "Whether it is protecting kids from pornography or keeping employees safe and productive, WatchGuard XTM solutions are unsurpassed for matching strong security with ease of use."
