Hamburg, Germany September 23. 2015 - Well equipped for the future: gateprotect GmbH, a German manufacturer of IT security solutions within the Rohde & Schwarz Group, now offers its medium-sized clients even more high-performance protection against cyber attacks and data theft. Firewall version V15 was developed in Germany and for the first time comprises next-generation firewall features, which are usually only available to corporate groups and operators of critical infrastructures with highly complex IT networks.
Today's cyber attacks are based on highly specialized software that has complex programming, is constantly updated and can find ways into companies through a range of different points of attack. Web-based business application programs, social networks and video-conference systems provide an ideal target area for malware. Nowadays, businesses have to take a completely new approach in order to manage future security risks.
gateprotect is reacting to this fact with firewall version V15 and is also offering medium-sized clients an expanded set of modern security and network features.
This is the first time that a single-pass engine developed in Germany has been integrated into a UTM solution ensuring a fine-grained analysis of the network traffic and guaranteeing the best performance. Port-independent SSL-interception in real time also makes it possible to examine encrypted data traffic.
A new component of gateprotect Firewall V15 is the Application Control Engine developed in Germany by the Rohde & Schwarz subsidiary, ipoque. This device has a decoder and detector function and is able to recognize and decode HTTPS protocols securing another gateway into the corporate network.
With V15, the gateprotect UTM appliance achieves up to 300% more performance than before thanks to the integration of additional high-performance next-generation firewall features.
For the first time, the multiple-award-winning graphical management interface of the gateprotect firewall V15 is now available as a WebGUI in the browser of any device. This means that gateprotect is providing a future-oriented solution for changing threat scenarios.
Christoph Becker, CTO gateprotect GmbH: "We are proud to have created something unique with V15 by combining the technical platform of the next-generation Network Protector firewall with the unique and newly developed WebGUI of a UTM firewall. During the development process, there was a particular focus on providing our clients with the most cutting-edge security features, high performance and the usual ease of use. Network and data protection remain easy to manage with gateprotect solutions."
With V15, gateprotect presents reliable advanced technology with a single-pass engine for the UTM market and easy-to-use management of even complex networks of critical infrastructure operators.
