Original Press Release:
eSoft Announces InstaGate 305 Internet Security Gateway
Device Raises the Bar for Sub-$1,000 Unified Threat Management (UTM) Solutions by Including Gateway Anti-Virus, URL Filtering and Intrusion Prevention
BROOMFIELD, Colo., Sept. 14 -- eSoft, Inc., a leading vendor of integrated Internet security and content management solutions, announced today the availability of its newest product, the InstaGate 305 integrated security gateway, which integrates Firewall, IPSec VPN, Gateway Anti-Virus, Web URL Filtering and Network Intrusion Prevention into a single, easy-to-deploy and manage solution.
Powerful Security for Small Businesses
The InstaGate 305, tailored for small network environments with critical security needs, is the latest addition to eSoft's award-winning line of unified threat management (UTM) solutions that integrate dynamic Deep Packet Inspection services such as Anti-Virus and Intrusion Prevention into traditional Firewall/VPN network security appliances. While many devices in the sub-$1,000 market provide stateful Firewall and VPN functionality, few provide the performance and depth of inspection of the InstaGate 305, which is based on a powerful Intel(R) XScale processor with a large memory footprint.
"The InstaGate 305 fills a critical gap in one of the most under-served areas of the market," said Scott Lukes, eSoft vice president of marketing. "Small organizations are exposed to the same Internet threats as large Fortune 500 enterprises -- the only difference is that they don't have the same resources to deal with them. The 305 was designed to provide all of the necessary tools to protect small networks from modern, dynamic threats -- like the recent Zotob virus -- with minimal requirements from IT."
According to Chris Dunbar, President of Earthside, LLC, "eSoft has clearly heard the call of the small business market with the InstaGate 305. Most appliances in this price range are under-powered and under-featured. I will recommend the InstaGate 305 to all of my smaller business customers when they ask for bullet-proof small network security."
Ease of Management
Configuration wizards on the InstaGate 305 simplify device setup and VPN configuration, while its friendly graphical user interface simplifies even the most difficult of network security tasks. The InstaGate 305 is designed to evolve as new Internet-based threats emerge: eSoft SoftPaks are stackable software modules that add new features and functionality with the click of a mouse.
The InstaGate 305 combines these critical security services into a single, easy to deploy and manage system:
- Deep Packet Inspection Firewall: Designed to detect and stop threats at all layers of the network.
- IPSec VPN with 3DES / AES encryption and Digital Certificate support: Allows site-to-site security and remote- access connectivity.
- Built-in Network Intrusion Prevention: Designed to prevent network-level threats such as DoS and DDoS attacks, port scans and intrusion attempts.
- Built-in URL Whitelist and Blacklist Filtering: Based on user-definable keywords, full URLs and regular expression matching, allows organization to limit URLs accessible from behind the firewall.
- Gateway Antivirus SoftPak (optional): Provides complete Virus, Worm and Trojan protection for email, web and FTP transfers. Scans both inbound and outbound traffic over SMTP, POP3, HTTP and FTP protocols.
- Dynamic RIP v1/v2 Routing: Allows deployment flexibility for internally routed network environments.
- Dynamic DNS: Allows the organization to host public-facing servers from behind the firewall in a dynamic WAN IP environment.
- Object-based Management, Mouse-over GUI: Designed to enhance manageability and ease-of-use for growing network environments.
Pricing and Availability:
The InstaGate 305 and Gateway Anti-Virus SoftPak are currently available. Prices for the InstaGate 305 (25-user) start at $649, and the Gateway Anti- Virus SoftPak starts at $179 for a 1-year subscription. All prices US MSRP.
