Norman® Network Protection Appliance: To Protect Organizations from Malware

In the current scenario, every organization is facing a challenge to protect its vital information from malware threats. Generally, these malware threats are either found on a network layer or enter the corporate environment through various devices which are attached to the network. What makes organizations vulnerable to these threats is lack of knowhow about modern tools and appliances which can help them to control such threats. Moreover, they also tend to get confused, since the entire market is full of special appliances.

Keeping this aspect in perspective, Norman has come up with an impressive appliance to help the business organizations to deal with malware threats. Norman Network Protection is developed with Sandbox technology. It can offer a real-time protection to financial organizations, big and small business firms and quite a few corporate users. The appliance has an easy to use interface. It can also be configured between network nodes to block malicious threats which are transmitted from in-house devices like laptops and mobile handsets. It monitors entire network traffic in order to block malware. It also scans various protocols so as to maintain safety on the entire network.

According to Gartner Research Group, if organizations do not deploy antimalware appliances then there are greater chances that they can easily lose their data. In addition to this, Rick Moy who is a President of NSS Labs said “Organizations cannot simply rely on a single layer of antimalware protection. Defense-in-depth strategies are crucial, especially as malware is increasingly delivered via the web and social media. Network antimalware and antivirus solutions such as the Norman Network Protection appliance are an important part of a defense-in-depth strategy.”

Some of the key features associated with Norman Network Protection Appliance are discussed below.

• IPV6 Networks Supported: Norman Network Protection appliance can be deployed on networks running IPV6 protocols.
• Mirrored Switch Ports Scanning Option: One can scan for malware and other malicious threats even in mirrored switch ports which are placed on a network platform.
• URL Content Filtering: With Norman Network Protection, those URLs which are found malicious can be filtered and blocked.
• Improved File Sharing: It allows you to carry out a secure and stable file sharing activity on Windows operating system.
