WatchGuard
Technologies, a global leader in network security
and intelligence, secure Wi-Fi and multi-factor authentication, today announced
the launch of Business Network Protect (BNP) Complete, an enterprise-grade
security solution for small and midsized businesses built in partnership with
Deutsche Telekom. With fast internet from Deutsche Telekom and industry-leading
security services from WatchGuard, this all-in-one offering is designed to
simplify the delivery of critical security for organizations or home office
environments that lack the resources to defend against cyber attacks on their
own. The BNP Complete solution combines a DSL modem and Wi-Fi router with
enterprise-level security protections; all within WatchGuard's Firebox T35-DW.
"There are significant
differences between a modern firewall appliance and a commercially available
router with NAT functionality. Individual mission-critical network areas such
as production systems, management servers, VoIP components and printers must be
deliberately divided, individually secured, and automatically monitored," said
Michael Haas, area sales director, Central Europe at WatchGuard. "This can only
be done via firewalls such as BNP Complete with our Firebox T35-DW tabletop
appliance. The solution's easy-to-implement segmentation makes it simple to
identify potential weak points, initiate countermeasures and prevent attacks
from spreading freely across networks."
BNP Complete offers leading
security services such as APT Blocker, Gateway Antivirus, Spam Prevention, URL Filtering, Application Control, Intrusion Prevention, SSL inspection and more.
In addition, this all-in-one security solution automatically transmits and
processes data from more than 180 Deutsche Telekom honeypot sensors that power
its security speedometer to recognize and block malicious IPs.
"With the new offering,
we're able to address the needs of small and midsized companies, including tax
consultants, law firms, management consultants, insurance agents, small home
office environments, larger medical practices, as well as customers in retail
and logistics and other markets," said Christian Cronjäger, security product
and portfolio manager at Deutsche Telekom. "The gate to digitization with a
fast internet connection is not only wide open, but the WatchGuard firewall and
its numerous security controls serve as a moat to protect sensitive data."
This solution is suitable
for all connections up to 200 Mbps max, and up to 20 employees can be covered.
The basic protection license includes all hardware components, the EWS from
Deutsche Telekom and the "Helpdesk Service Plus" managed security
services package, which offers guaranteed interference suppression in 24 hours.
The all-in-one protection license also includes the APT Blocker module for
protection against highly complex and largely unknown threats, and can be
augmented with additional security services depending on customer requirements.
Since 24x7 operation is
guaranteed via managed services, customers benefit from secure, reliable
connections without having to invest the time and resources into overseeing
security themselves. Additionally, BNP Complete eliminates high up-front costs
by offering simplified, convenient monthly billing.
The
Firebox T35-DW
is an exclusive product that is only available as part of the new Business
Network Protect Complete offer.
