Secure Web Access 

 Content Security & Distributed Internet Breakout 

How can you be sure that hidden malware doesn’t cause any damage? How can you block unwelcome or dangerous websites? The netfence appliances by phion can even detect multi-compressed malware inside the data traffic and by using URL filters, anti-virus, P2P filers and secure web proxy they ensure the highest content security.

The netfence appliances provide comprehensive and coordinated content security functionalities. Powerful malware scanning at the gateway guarantees the real-time analysis of in- and outgoing HTTP, HTTP over FTP, FTP and email data traffic. The basis for this is provided by a permanently updated signature database, which is complemented by the innovative AHeAD (Advanced Heuristic Analysis and Detection) technology for identifying and guarding against still unknown or fast-changing attackers. The phion virus protection solution also detects malicious software that is hidden, embedded or repeatedly compressed – and with the help of the phion Secure Web Proxy it can even detect malware that has been hidden in SSL encrypted HTTPS or XML data traffic. In order to block connections to undesirable or potentially dangerous websites the netfence solution uses the world’s most comprehensive and permanently updated URL database. Spam is reliably blocked and digital website certificates automatically checked. Traditional infrastructure services such as DNS, NTO, DHCP and SSH/FTP Gateways can also be implemented too.

netfence gateway with Secure Web Access Solution Package

  • The URL filter provides one of the world largest database of more than 100 million catalogued web sites grouped in 62 content categories (including gambling, illegal activities, online shopping, pornography, etc.) for granular policy definitions. Usergroup specific restrictions, whitelist and blacklist capabilities, time-based exceptions and customizable block screens allow fine-tuning web access.
     
  • The Anti-virus solution on corporate netfence gateways as the first line of defence against threats attacking your communication infrastructure protects your Web, FTP and Mail traffic from unwanted content such as viruses, spyware, worms, and other malware.
     
  • The P2P filter enables netfence appliances to detect and limit or block network traffic from all commonly used P2P or IM applications - including Skype.

  • The Secure Web Proxy (SSL & XML) enhances netfence with a fully fledged SSL proxy capable of intercepting outgoing HTTPS traffic. This allows organisations to control, inspect and manage SSL encrypted webtraffic and XML based web services. Data attached to a webservice or RSS feed contents encapsulated within the XML request/response is now available within reach of traditional content inspection.

 Background Knowledge

The demand for the corresponding security solutions grows along with the increasing number, size and complexity of communications networks. The IT industry reacts here by providing different security components for the various respective danger areas. It would make much more sense and be considerably more efficient to implement a uniform security strategy.

It’s fashionable to make telephone calls on the internet. However, those who see only the benefits such as low telephone charges, quick installation and simple operation can have a rude awakening if they do not take the critical factors such as network security and availability into account.

 Success Stories

  • RHI (PDF) has implemented a highly flexible communications infrastructure - which is exemplary worldwide - based on the integrated multi-provider and multi-link function in the phion solutions.
  • By implementing the phion management centre, which allowed administration to be centralised and localised at the same time, by fully utilising the capabilities of the phion VPN technology options, the manageability, connectivity and security at Julius Blum GmbH (PDF) could all be increased, while simultaneously reducing resource efforts.
  • A VPN solution has been realised with phion at VG Zell (PDF) that not only stands up to the critical judgment of the district data protection delegate, but also meets the local authorities’ implementation and operation specifications.
