Panda GateDefender Performa is the only perimeter protection device to deliver real-time malware protection and spam filtering across multiple content channels with zero latency, thanks to Panda’s unique cloud-based Collective Intelligence. The web-based console enables administrators to monitor security status across the network, generate reports, and change or deploy policies anywhere, any time.

The integration of cloud technology with the traditional form-factor of a gateway appliance dramatically increases protection capacity while reducing resource consumption to a minimum in a set and forget solution that can be deployed in-line in minutes. This combination of best-of-breed technologies ensures an almost 100% detection rate of known and unknown Internet threats, spam, zombies and inappropriate web browsing. It also enables organizations to control the use of web applications and bandwidth consumption, enabling cost and productivity optimization.

Features include:

• Integrated proactive detection: Cloud-based Collective Intelligence, heuristic engines, and quarantine are combined at the perimeter to optimize threat detection and guarantee delivery of business-critical communications
• Complete protection: Perimeter-based defense against content-based threats includes best-of-breed protection against malware and potentially dangerous content; spam control licensed from Commtouch; and unproductive web content filtering licensed from Cloudmark. The use of bandwidth hogs and potentially dangerous applications such as peer-to-peer, IM, VoIP, and Spotify can also be restricted.
• Detection of zombies, in individual computers and mail servers, through identification of misbehaving outbound SMTP mail
• Guaranteed traffic flow: Bypass option allows traffic flow to continue regardless of possible problems with the system
• Automatic protection: Continuous and transparent updates of signatures (hourly for malware, every minute for spam) and technologies in real-time guarantee the appliance operates effectively in unattended mode after installation
• Integration with LDAP / Active Directory for simple policy application
• Granular profile-based policies: Profiles can be used to establish specific security policies for specific high-risk groups or individual network users
• Quarantine accessible only to administrators
• Highly scalable: Automatic load-balancing ensures high availability
• Quality of service: bandwidth allocated to ensure optimum network performance
• Hardened operating system with Command Line Interface (CLI)
• Collective Intelligence and malware cache ensure efficient scanning
• Customized warnings distributed via SMTP, SNMP and Syslog
• Customizable periodic activity notifications via email
• Easy-to-follow forensic reports support compliance requirements and audit trails
• Real-time system monitoring: The console dashboard provides real-time graphic reports on each protection module’s activity as well as system and security reports
• User friendly, intuitive web console can be accessed at any time from any web-enabled machine
