MUMBAI: After meeting with success in the US market with its PGP1000 e-ppliance,
Network Associates and Texport Technologies now plan to roll out the product in
the Indian market within next few months, according to Chief Operating Officer
of Texport Technologies, Arun Pathak.
Texport Technologies is the strategic partners of Network Associates in India
for the distribution of their security products. Network Associates is an
US-based firm that specializes in network security. Statistics on anti-Indian
hacking attacks reveal that nearly 160 Websites were defaced in less than four
months.
This year the figures are likely to cross 650. Pathak believes that this
product will help in reducing the attacks by providing total network security.
And to achieve this end, the product will work on a highspeed 3DES IPsec
performance, which will meet the demands of large VPN networks.
PGP 1000 e-appliance supports high performance VPN tunnels to handle site to
site connections, telecommuters using xDSL or cable modem, and mobile workers
using dial-up links. According to Pathak, PGP 1000e-appliance offers a firewall,
integrated with IPsec VPN capabilities, authentication, anti-virus protection,
VPN authentication and content management.
This full-featured Internet security appliance is set to combat intruders and
protects important business data. PGP1000 e-appliance will also include the
award-wining Mcafee anti-virus software.
Pathak said that the firm could not afford an unexpected downtime and
therefore the high availability of PGP1000 e-ppliance allowed the secondary
firewall to take over processing of Web requests in the event of failure.
Highlighting other unique features of the product, Pathak said that PGP1000
e-appliance includes a scalable enterprise management that simplifies
installation and policy enforcement of each PGP1000e-appliance.
This will also enable network administrators to effectively manage security
policies across remote or geographically distributes networks. "A central
logging and reporting feature enables an administrator to quickly monitor
information from several PGP e-ppliances," he said.
