why

Plug-and-Play Security Appliance

The RouteFinder security appliance plugs in at the Internet connection

of each office. It provides three independent network interfaces (LAN,

WAN and DMZ) that separate the protected office network from the

Internet while offering an

optional public network for hosting Web, e-mail

or ftp servers. Each network

interface is independently monitored and

visually displayed on the front of the appliance.

State-of-the-Art Firewall Security

The RouteFinder security appliance is ICSA-certified to provide

network layer security utilizing Stateful Packet Inspection,

the sophisticated firewall technology found in large enterprise

firewalls, to protect the network against intruders and Denial of Service

(DoS) attacks. It also uses Network Address Translation (NAT) to hide

internal, non-routable IP addresses and allows internal hosts with

unregistered IP addresses to function as Internet-reachable servers.

In addition to network layer security,

the RouteFinder

security appliance

provides application

level security using SMTP, HTTP, DNS and SOCKS

proxies.

also utilizes

filters to block specific Internet content to protect

against viruses, dangerous ActiveX controls, Java, Javascript, and Cookies.

An automatic update feature provides the highest level of security by

automatically downloading and installing the latest

system software

and security patches protecting against any newly discovered hacker

attacks with a single click.

E-mail Anti-virus Protection

Computer viruses are one of the leading security threats

to Internet-connected networks. Users can unknowingly

receive and launch dangerous viruses that can damage

data or cause computer crashes. Viruses can also be used as delivery

mechanisms for hacking tools, compromising the security of the network,

even if a firewall is installed.

An optional e-mail virus protection subscription utilizes Kaspersky’s

high-performance, ICSA-tested, anti-virus engine which checks both

incoming and outgoing e-mail for viruses in real-time. Automatic

anti-virus updates are downloaded at user-defined intervals to ensure

protection is current. The e-mail anti-virus protection can be easily

renewed on an annual basis. Ask about our free 30-day evaluation.

Content Filtering

The RouteFinder security appliance includes a one-year URL content filtering

subscription. It utilizes SurfControl

’s content categorization list, the world’s

largest database of Internet content, which includes 5 million websites covering

over 900 million web pages. Daily updates of categorized sites are available for

download. In addition, it includes URL access

and deny reporting. The subscription can easily

be renewed on an annual basis.

Spam Filtering

A free spam filtering feature protects your network from unsolicited bulk e-mail

utilizing real-time, as well as, user-definable white and black lists. In addition,

the spam filter checks for null sender and bad address patterns in e-mail

addresses. It also utilizes the reverse DNS test, as well as, attachment and

expression filters.

Secure VPN Connections

The RouteFinder security appliance uses IPSec and PPTP industry standard

protocols,

data encryption, user authentication, and the Internet to provide

high-

performance, secure VPN connections. For LAN-to-LAN connectivity, the

RouteFinder

security appliance

utilizes the IPSec protocol with strong 3DES and

AES encryption using IKE and PSK key management. In addition, it provides very

high performance with up to 70M bps of encryption

throughput.

For Client-to-LAN connectivity, Multi-Tech offers

optional IPSec client software

allowing road warriors and telecommuters secure access to the company’s internal

network. The RouteFinder

security appliance

also

supports remote users that

want to use the PPTP VPN client built into the Windows operating system. This

provides 40-bit or 128-bit encryption, user name and password authentication.

Reporting

The RouteFinder

security appliance

includes a suite of integrated monitoring and

reporting tools

that help administrators troubleshoot the Internet security system

and report Internet usage to management. This includes reporting on system

uptime, hardware and network utilization. HTTP and SMTP proxy reports provide

information about any actions needed to handle virus-infected e-mails.

The RouteFinder

security

appliance

also disables

and logs attempted port

scans. In addition, it

provides accounting reports

and a self-monitor that

sends

an e-mail notification

of system-level issues.

Robust, Easy-to-Use Management

The RouteFinder security appliance includes robust management support allowing

a network administrator to securely manage the devices either through a web

browser or at the command line. The browser-based option uses the HTTP or HTTPS

protocol, also known as

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer), to provide 128-bit encryption

to secure the management

session. The command line interface is accessible via

SSH (Secure Shell) and supports SCP (Secure Copy).

User Authentication

To increase the level of security, user identity can be verified before access to Internet

services is permitted. The RouteFinder security appliance supports authentication

at a local user

database as well as at external user databases, like Windows 2000

or Radius server.

Automatic Dial Backup

The RouteFinder security appliance provides a serial port that, when connected

to a dial-up modem or ISDN terminal adaptor, can serve as a backup resource

for Internet access and VPN tunneling if your cable or DSL service goes down.

In addition to the serial port, the RouteFinder RF760VPN and RF660VPN models

include a built-in modem.

Web Caching Server

To enhance performance, the RouteFinder

security appliance

provides web

caching. By storing

frequently visited web sites on a local drive, web surfing

performance can be improved by as much as 50%.

Optional VPN Client Software

Multi-Tech provides easy-to-use IPSec VPN client software that transparently

secures

Internet communications anytime, anywhere. VPN client software is

ideal for

business users who travel frequently or work from home. It provides

secure remote access through the RouteFinder

security appliance

for applications

such as remote access,

file transfer, e-mail, web browsing, messaging or IP

telephony. Encryption and

authentication operations are completely transparent

to the end user. In general, IPSec provides stronger encryption than PPTP resulting

in better overall security.

RouteFinder SOHO

The RouteFinder SOHO security appliance

is ideal for the small branch office or

telecommuter who needs secure access to the

corporate LAN. In addition to providing a WAN Ethernet

port for DSL or cable broadband Internet access, it also offers both

client-to-LAN and LAN-to-LAN VPN connectivity based on the IPSec

or PPTP protocols. The RouteFinder SOHO security appliance provides

3DES and AES encryption to ensure that your information remains private.
