SMBs have a confusing array of IT choices, but limited IT support and budget dollars. Yet in many cases they need enterprise-class products yet without all the pain and complexity. Downtime is not something they can afford. Secure Computing Corps's new version of SnapGear offers a surprisingly big solution in a little box. This "network-in-a-box" is a plug-and-play security appliance that simplifies things by giving them an all-in-one solution. Further, it incorporates next generation reputation-based threat protection. Here's what Charles Kolodgy, IDC, had to say: "By adding TrustedSource to SnapGear's UTM appliance, Secure Computing offers SMBs the same reputation-based anti-spam solution available to much larger enterprises."

Let me know if you'll be covering this product release. I look forward to hearing from you.

SECURE COMPUTING RELEASES NEXT GENERATION SMB NETWORK SECURITY APPLIANCE

Network-in-a-box, VPN and firewall appliance integrates TrustedSource global reputation system and adds new key features aimed at reducing SMB costs

INTEROP-LAS VEGAS, May 23, 2007-Secure Computing® Corporation (Nasdaq: SCUR), a leading enterprise gateway security company, today announced SnapGear with TrustedSource, a newly enhanced version of its award-winning all-in-one Internet appliance for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and remote offices. The new version of SnapGear marks the third Secure Computing product integration with TrustedSource, the company's global reputation system, and also delivers enhanced VoIP capabilities, VPN offloading, connection tracking snapshots, increased performance, and the ability to deliver customized local-language versions. Many of these new features are directly aimed at reducing the costs associated with growing and securing SMB networks.

As part of Secure Computing's vision to provide comprehensive gateway security, SnapGear now incorporates global intelligence from the company's industry-leading reputation system, TrustedSource. Like a credit agency provides credit scores to enable reliable commerce, TrustedSource provides behavior-based reputation scores for IPs, domains, URLs and email messages. Using this real-time scoring, SnapGear with TrustedSource allows organizations to drop connections from malicious sources at the gateway to help prevent security threats such as spam and phishing, reclaim bandwidth and reduce downstream server processing. Many companies find that these dropped connections lead to significant savings in administrative costs, server upgrade costs and additional bandwidth costs.
