Original Press Release:
D-Link® Launches NetDefend(TM) Unified Threat Management Solutions for Small and Medium-Sized Business
D-Link NetDefend Appliances Based on New Partnership With Check Point to Deliver Enterprise-Level Network Protection for SMB
FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., Feb. 28 / -- D-Link, the end-to-end networking solutions provider for consumers and business, will begin shipping this quarter new D-Link NetDefend security appliances specifically designed for small and medium businesses (SMBs) and offering affordable and easily administered unified threat management (UTM) protection against potential disastrous and costly attacks to the office network.
Both the D-Link NetDefend DFL-CPG310 and DFL-CP310 deliver enterprise-level UTM features in a single device powered by Check Point's advanced Embedded NGX(TM) with Application Intelligence(TM) technology and market-leading Firewall-1(TM) and VPN-1(TM) software. The inclusion of Check Point's software provides SMB users with complete UTM protection from Internet and network-based threats.
"These new security appliances extend our popular NetDefend product line by offering SMBs an all-in-one, intuitive network security solution to protect them from potentially devastating attacks," according to D-Link Chief Technology Officer A.J. Wang. "They combine an enterprise-class stateful inspection firewall, gateway antivirus, intrusion prevention, remote-access virtual private networking and content filtering into a single, easy-to-use platform.
"These security appliances automatically determine whether communication attempts are legitimate, making the network safe from attacks," Wang added.
Check Point's stateful inspection firewall technology allows the network administrator to establish rules about who can or cannot access the network and its devices. It also delivers greater protection against hackers than packet filter or Network Address Translation-based firewalls by thoroughly examining and retaining information contained in data packets.
The feature-rich NetDefend secured by Check Point devices are designed to ensure maximum efficiency and security of network bandwidth, and allow proper usage of Internet resources, such as instant messaging, Peer-to-Peer (P2P) file sharing and File Transfer Protocol (FTP).
In addition, D-Link's newest SMB security devices provide protection to all PCs on the network by blocking viruses at the gateway -- before they enter the network.
The NetDefend secured by Check Point devices also make it easier for company employees to securely access the office network from remote locations using the VPN capabilities. They also allow for business expansion as VPN usage increases.
D-Link NetDefend DFL-CPG310 (wireless) and DFL-CP310 (wired) Features:
o Dual WAN ports for failover support on redundant broadband connections
o Color-coded attack incident reports for simplified threat detection and evaluation
o A "Who Is" utility identifies IP address owners, providing Internet "caller ID" for suspected attackers
o Built-in traffic monitoring and packet capture tools control, monitor incoming and outgoing traffic
o Setup wizard to quickly establish pre-set or custom security policies
o A Traffic Shaper bandwidth management Quality of Service (QoS) system allowing administrator to fully control network traffic flow
o Secure Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) access with built-in 802.11b/g access point for wireless client support
o WLAN and LAN traffic isolation to prevent unauthorized access to LAN resources through the WLAN interface
o Wireless Super-G and XR Modes
o WPA2 encryption and authorization mechanisms for protecting your WLAN from intruders
o IPSec support over wireless for adding an additional layer of protection for WLAN clients
o Compatible with 802.11b, 802.11g and D-Link 108G WLAN clients providing support for a wide range of deployed wireless LAN technologies
o Built-in print server allows any USB-enabled printer to become part of the wireless network, removing the need for buying more expensive network printers or a standalone print server
Optional Security Service
Customers who purchase the D-Link NetDefend secured by Check Point devices also can subscribe to Check Point's optional security service to automatically keep network software and virus definitions up-to-date. It also provides web filtering, built-in interfaces for outsourced third-party security management and Dynamic Domain Naming Service (DNS) functionality, giving users access to key resources via VPN without having to know an ever-changing IP address.
"D-Link's new NetDefend secured by Check Point UTM gateways will empower small businesses to take control of their security and maximize the return on investment on their security infrastructure," said Laura Yecies, vice president and general manager of the consumer/small business division at Check Point. "By combining D-Link's proven solution with technology developed specifically for this market by our SofaWare subsidiary, D-Link's customers can rest easy knowing that their network is safe."
