Virus Blocker: Block Viruses at the Network Gateway. Stop virus outbreaks before they reach users desktops. Protect users from virus threats over web (http), email (SMTP, POP, IMAP) and file transfer (FTP) protocols. Scan archives and compressed files like Zip, RAR, Tar and many others. Ensure that signatures are always current with automatic updates. Stop infected users inside your Network from spreading the virus.

Phish Blocker: Block Phishing and Pharming at the Gateway. Identity thieves are becoming increasingly sophisticated with email and website spoofs that are nearly impossible to discern from the real thing. Phish Blocker makes it easier to protect users from email phishing attacks and fraudulent pharming websites, protect multiple protocols, including HTTP, SMTP, POP and IMAP, ensure that signatures are always current with automatic updates.

Spyware Blocker: Enables administrators to block spyware at the network gateway before it reaches users desktops.

Firewall: Your First Line of Defense! Firewalls draw the line which separates internal and external networks. The System’s Firewall filters traffic based on IP address, protocol and ports that allow administrators to designate which systems and services (http, ftp, etc.) are publicly available, create a DMZ and perform NAT (with Router), or even run as a transparent bridge to complement existing hardware.

QoS: Networking’s Blocking & Tackling. Flexible platform that can perform routing tasks or simply pass traffic as a transparent bridge. The System’s routing capabilities enable administrators to provide the basics like NAT, DMZs, DHCP and DNS, get fancy with multiple NAT spaces, routing tables and configurable MTU. Prioritize traffic with QoS and support SIP and IAX VoIP traffic.

Intrusion Prevention: Stopping Hackers at the Gateway. Blocks hacking attempts before they reach internal servers and desktops. Pre-configured signature-based IPS makes it easier for administrators to provide 24/7 network protection from hackers, minimize annoying false positives, ensure that signatures are always current with automatic updates.

Protocol Control: Block Port Hopping Applications. Lets administrators take back control of their networks from disruptive port-hopping applications like peer-to-peer applications or online games. Signature based layer 7 filtering makes it easy for administrators to conserve bandwidth by blocking applications like peer-to-peer that open multiple TCP ports, improve productivity by blocking IM and online games that evade firewall rules, Write custom signatures for any protocol.

OpenVPN: Secure Remote Access. OpenVPN lets administrators provide secure remote access to the internal network. Intuitive GUI makes it easier to configure basic settings through a setup wizard, generate custom certs for each client, easily distribute client software via email.

Reports: Unprecedented Network Visibility and Monitoring. Provide administrators the visibility and data necessary to investigate security incidents and enforce acceptable network usage policies. Interactive Drilldowns, monitor behavior at the user, host, email and incident level, understand traffic flows and network usage patterns, fully exportable incident information in CSV format, share reports in PDF or HTML formats.

Do I really need network security?

If you or your employees use email or the web then – yes – definitely your business needs network security. The days when hackers and online criminals went for the big targets are gone. With new hacking technologies every PC that’s connected to the network is a target for sending spam or viruses on behalf of online criminals. This can bring your PCs performance to a crawl and use up increasingly expensive network bandwidth.

Or most commonly, unsuspecting employees will click on a website link that downloads viruses which spread to everyone on the network. Beyond performance and bandwidth usage issues these viruses can wipe out your data.

Even if you do have antivirus and anti-spam filters on each of your PC, COMMbits eShield adds another crucial layer of protection at the door of your Network monitoring both incoming and outgoing traffic.

There really are no excuses for not protecting your network.

How is COMMbits eShield different than other similar solutions?

Indeed, there are many other network security appliances in the market (Cisco, Sonicwall, TrendMicro, Fortigate, Barracuda, etc.) Our main differentiators from such products are that our solution is geared towards Small-to-Medium Businesses (SMBs), it is all-inclusive for peace of mind and carries no recurring fees.

We have a distinct focus on SMBs since our inception in 2001 and offering all-inclusive solutions for simplicity and peace of mind is our motto.

Our single, low price includes everything you need to seriously protect your network: Hardware, software and expert installation/configuration at your premises (GTA only).

Will COMMbits eShield work with my existing network infrastructure?

Yes, a COMMbits eShield server drops seamlessly behind your current firewall and/or router. You run the applications you want to. If you’re comfortable with the firewall or router you already have, you can run the system in transparent bridge mode to block spam and spyware. Already have an anti-spam appliance that you like, and just want to use COMMbitsd eShield for Web Filtering and VPN, that’s cool too. Our expert Systems Administrators can help you choose a perfect configuration for your own environment.
