Secure Web Gateway
Utilizing various databases that contain millions current and relevant websites that are categorized into 25+ different categories, the NetxGATE web filter can be completely customized by your organization so that certain websites can be added or removed from these categories. HTTPS websites can also be blocked just like HTTP websites using SSL Bump methodology. HTTPS and HTTP filters can be enabled on certain users whereby providing discretionary access depending on the role of the users. Our web filtering program incorporates a unique mechanism that is able to identify specific keywords with regular expression matching procedures that allows for a faster and more accurate response time when handling both new and upcoming websites. Requiring users to abide by specific company usage policies, a corporate network web filter can easily block sites like the Apple App Store or Google Play Store for specified users.
Web Application Firewall
Acting as a reverse proxy network based firewall that is pre-loaded with extensive rule-sets (ACL), the NetxGATE web application firewall provides updates on a regular basis in order to secure organizational applications that are continually exposed. NetXGATE is able to provide region specific access rules that only allow traffic from certain countries or fixed IP addresses to enterprise applications so that they are regularly protected against automated BOT attacks or intrusion attempts. The threshold for our web application firewall can be defined for various parameters like the maximum number of connections per minute from any specific IP address. Not stopping there, we allow time-based access to be established in order to prevent network access during non-office hours.
Granular Application Control
NetXGATE firewalls is optimized for content analysis of Layer 7 applications, providing fine-grained control of web applications regardless of port, protocol, or evasive action. It can identify and prevent potential threats associated with high-risk applications while providing policy-based control over applications, users, and user-groups. Security Policies can be defined that guarantee bandwidth to mission-critical applications while restricting or blocking unauthorized or malicious applications.
Gateway Anti-Virus
