Complete protection 

It includes best-of-breed protection against malware and potentially dangerous content, spam, unwanted content, P2P and IM applications and also scans all protocols, reinforcing the risk management system.
It scans inbound and outbound traffic in all protocols helping enforce security policies, and doesn’t require additional protection or supporting devices, therefore reducing complexity and operational costs.

Modular Structure

It provides specific protection for different threats, reinforcing the risk management systems where necessary. The cost is optimized since the organization only purchases the protection required.

Integrated Proactive Technology

Heuristic engines, Collective Intelligence and Quarantine combined in the perimeter optimize threat detection, ensuring reception of important information.

High Performance

The hardware is designed to operate transparently in the perimeter, scanning large traffic volumes in real-time.
Each unit’s performance adapts to each organization’s traffic, optimizing the risk management system.
Its high performance improves user productivity, making sure that standard security policies are met and ensuring business continuity.

Zombie detection

Outbound SMTP detection allows administrators to identify internal computers that are infected and which are sending spam and malware to clients and contacts without users’ knowledge.
This improves corporate image and reputation with clients.

Auto Updates

Updates are automatically carried out every hour in the case of malware and every minute in the case of spam. The protection is always updated against the latest threats, constantly improving the risk management system. The solution does not require continuous administration, thereby reducing complexity and operational costs.

Connect and Forget

It operates as a transparent bridge, and as installation does not require changes or redirections in the network settings, complexity is reduced. Once connected, it starts to work immediately, reducing operational costs.

Guaranteed Reception of Data

GateDefender Performa scans, disinfects, restores and resends files containing unknown malware without administrator intervention, reinforcing the risk management system. It also prevents critical information losses and protects the organization against known and unknown threats, helping enforce security policies. Additionally, it ensures business continuity and reduces operational costs.

Different Console access levels

Different console access levels reinforce security in the risk management system, as security settings are protected and business continuity is ensured. Access permission adapts to users’ different needs and reduces complexity for non-experts.

Guaranteed Traffic Flow

Hardware models for large organizations include the bypass option so the traffic flow continues regardless of possible system flaws, ensuring business continuity.

Load-balancing

Automatic Load Balancing ensures high service availability in the event of unexpected failure, optimizes investment in the organization’s computers, and improves the risk management system. It also prevents traffic reception delays, improving user productivity and ensuring business continuity. As it is native and automatic, it eliminates configuration complexity and reduces operational costs.

Customizable Security Policies

Different user profiles and groups can be defined to establish different security policies for each network user, reinforcing the risk management system. This way, user productivity is optimized and security policies are enforced.

Integration with LDAP/AD

Due to integration with directory systems, the user responsible for each action taken on the network is identified and the risk management system is improved. In addition, monitoring of internal users helps enforce different security policies.

Centralized settings

All the units deployed can be configured from a single console. Centralized configuration of different access points improves the risk management system and reduces complexity. 

Detailed Graphic Reports

The real-time activity reports significantly reinforce the risk management system. Administrators and operators have important information to hand, reducing complexity and operational costs.

Centralized Monitoring

All the units deployed can be monitored from a single console. Any security event is received in a single point, reducing complexity and operational costs. Additionally, it is more efficient in resolving errors to ensure business continuity.

Quarantine

It stores potentially dangerous files and emails in quarantine if they are suspected of containing unknown malware or are considered to be spam or probable spam. The aim of quarantine is to ensure that users have access to any important files or emails.

  • Malware Quarantine. Reserved for contaminated files that cannot be disinfected or are suspected of containing unknown malware.
  • Spam Quarantine. Reserved for emails classified as spam or Probable Spam.
  • Content Filter Quarantine. Reserved for files or mails blocked by the application of company’s security policies.

Anti-malware filtering

Its anti-malware protection detects and blocks all types of damaging threats before they reach the corporate network: Viruses, Worms, Trojans, Spyware, Dialers, Jokes, Phishing, Hacking tools, security risks and -through its heuristic engine- threats not yet cataloged.

Content Filter

The Content Filter lets you customize the types of files and messages to be filtered. It applies filters such as maximum file size, maximum number of compressed files, password protection…

It scans nested messages and even their attachments. Similarly, it can filter by content, by subject, by type, etc.

Anti-spam protection

Panda GateDefender Performa checks corporate email, reducing the impact of spam on the productivity of the user.

Web filtering protection

The Web filter can restrict access to web pages with unproductive content simply by selecting prohibited categories. It therefore optimizes resource usage and improves user productivity.

Blocking of P2P and instant messaging application

Panda GateDefender Performa lets you block the use of applications that can represent an important security hole: Instant Messaging (IM) and Peer-to-Peer (P2P) programs. The use of both of these types of programs can be restricted inside the network.
