While there is an abundance of firewalls on the market, not all walk their talk and a firewall has to go beyond fancy VPNs and packet inspectors to stand out from the rest of the flock. Untangle’s NG firewall empowers small to large-sized businesses to control every aspect of their network, from content filtering to web caching, SD-WAN and policy enforcement. In short, the NG Firewall has it all, separated from other firewalls by several integrated applications.

Competing traffic can impact your Quality of Service which will, in turn, affect customer SLA agreements. Untangle’s bandwidth control helps you manage priority business-critical apps like VoIP, ERP/MRP systems and video conferencing. It also monitors and manages recreational traffic such as that on Youtube and Facebook and addresses inappropriate content from R-rated websites before this impacts the internet experience of users.

Bandwidth control helps IT heads to monitor and track bandwidth abusers by user, application, protocol, website and more. If someone is overusing the company’s Internet, Untangle will let the IT big boss know about it! You can also set quotas for the amount for data that can be used by said user, application, protocol or website and set rules to send alerts when thresholds are almost or have been reached.

An additional layer of insight and security for NG firewalls users is Untangle’s threat prevention application. Threat prevention scans IP addresses, blocking or granting access to the web and application-based content. Threat prevention empowers companies to create a robust network security system by implementing multi-layered protection schemes that ensure that there are several checkpoints within the network to check, identify and review content, creating obstacles for even the most flexible and intuitive cyber-criminal. With more and more internet traffic being encrypted using HTTPs, a huge blind spot hampers the efficiency of firewalls, compromising their ability to analyse traffic, identify threats and handle policy violations.

With Untangle’s SSL Inspector – included with all NG firewall purchases, these problems are a thing of the past! SSL Inspector creates a specialised certificate for each client which communicates directly with the gateway. This is then able to decrypt HTTPS and SMTP traffic, process and re-encrypt it on the fly, without ever exposing the decrypted traffic to the network.
