Improved usability with new interface
For the launch of the new AS Communication Gateway™ 2.0 we have given the user interface a complete overhaul.

MEDIUM-SIZED

Medium-sized businesses seek to gain a specific competitive advantage with IT and e-business projects. However, these activities can only be effectively implemented using the latest communications mechanisms.

This is where the latest technologies, for example Voice over IP (VoIP), Wireless LAN (WLAN) and Storage Area Networks (SAN) are used. Their advantages in terms of operating costs need to be counterbalanced by the fact that most times they require additional security products.

However, management of many medium-sized companies are not aware of the risks and consequences. They often fail to act until damage has actually occurred. When the server collapses under a flood of advertising e-mails or a virus attack destroys data, security gaps are often plugged with makeshift solutions.Medium-sized companies suffer a greater increase than most in security breaches. Around two-thirds of medium-sized IT company administration managers confirm that security irregularities have increased. The security features incorporated in commonly used operating systems are insufficient and provide only superficial security. Microsoft founder Bill Gates himself forecast in a recent interview a need to rectify a deficit in computer security issues.

The underground_8 solutions for medium-sized businesses are based on specialised, energy-efficient hardware components, ASICs and a specially hardened operating system (SNIPER™ OS). This means that best-of-breed solutions are combined with our multi-award-winning security products.

This concept forms the basis of two all-in-one appliance families for network and communication security with the widest range of functions currently available on the open market:  the MF Security Gateway™ series and the AS Communication Gateway™ series. underground_8 appliances present a near  impregnable barrier to threats that originate via the Internet.

underground_8 is especially keen to ensure that that our security solutions are easy and intuitive to configure and manage. underground_8 is a specialist in the detection and removal of threats which tunnel unnoticed through most conventional firewalls.

Content-based attacks and hidden malware are detected by underground_8 appliances by the targeted use of technologies such as DCI™ (Dynamic Content Inspection), ASMX (Anti-Spam & Malware-Detection Accelerator) and DLA™ (Dual Layer Anti-Virus), in order to trace and remove threats reliably and safely.
