Untangle for Network Security and Control
Intrusion Detection and Prevention Solution
A comprehensive security platform is a top priority for defense-in-depth and threat mitigation in order to protect your organization. Untangle offers a unified solution that combines firewall, intrusion detection & prevention, network security monitoring, and more at an attractive price.
Network Security Issues
Without an adequate network security program and procedures for compliance, your organization is significantly at risk from a myriad of attacks:
- External hackers accessing your internal sensitive corporate data
- Staff computers compromised by viruses and spyware that leak sensitive data
- Public corporate services such as web and email servers being compromised
- Forced downtime of your network from external Denial of Service attacks
Compliance Requirements
Many organizations are compelled to stringent levels of network security and control due to corporate, local government, or federal regulations.
- All merchants large and small must be compliant at some level with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) regulations, including the installation and maintenance of a firewall to protect cardholder data.
- PCI compliance also requires the use and routine update of anti-virus solutions and extensive network and application penetration tests.
- Many other local, state, and federal regulations exist (e.g. the UK Data Protection Act of 1998) that require organizations to ensure their IT systems are providing adequate security and protection against data compromise.
- Each organization often implements additional network security policies tailored to their own industry or profession. They require the ability to adapt to forever changing demands of securing the infrastructure.
