Packet Hawk 2.0 provides hands-free, network-wide protection against Spyware from a central management console. Configuration of scans is made easier and greater levels of reporting allow administrators to more effectively manage their networks.
Prices start at $1,495 for the appliance and software.
A primary benefit of Packet Hawk is that Spyware control is centralized and easily managed from a simple network appliance. Packet Hawk automatically finds, removes and blocks Spyware, Adware, Pop-ups, Malware, Games, Instant Messaging clients, P2P tools and a host of other security threats without the need to install software directly on each desktop.
It's a hands-free solution. There is no need to touch each PC. Desktops across the entire network are automatically updated. This can save organizations tens of thousands of dollars annually.
Packet Hawk also offers a range of other security features, including the ability to lock down the desktops against removable media such as flash drives, CD-ROMs and USB devices.
Version 2.0 added features include: a simplified user interface that is even more intuitive, numerous wizards that walk the administrator through the set-up and deployment of scans, and greater registry level lock-down capabilities. Combined with a Real-time Monitor, this helps ensure that spyware, once removed, stays off the system. The new version also lets you schedule scans and then automatically power down the desktops after the scan has been completed.
Packet Hawk is a rack mountable 1u network appliance that installs easily into any standard rack mount enclosure on any Windows network.
