SnapGear (Cyberguard) SG565
Create an instant secure office network
The SG565 is SnapGear/CyberGuard's all-in-one Wireless Workgroup Security and Data Access Appliance. It is a feature-rich, desktop, network security and data access device designed for today's business that requires access to and collection of time-critical data wherever their staff or customers may be.
The SG565 allows businesses to create a unique wireless and wired local network. Not only does it provide a wireless access point with secure Internet access and site-site access to the central office, it also supports network attached file storage and network printing - all in one appliance. In effect the SG565 creates the instant office network using off the shelf peripherals. Providing network storage via the SG565 is a simple as plugging in a USB hard drive or USB flash device into one of the available USB ports. Printing is just as easy using USB printers and standard desktop network printing services. This in many cases eliminates a number of server computers. It enables enterprises to deploy remote or temporary office networks with major IT infrastructure instantly available to carry on secure business.
Comprehensive Security and Internet Uptime
The SG565 is well suited to protecting branch offices of medium sized enterprises as well as other sites such as gas stations, retail stores, medical clinics, hotels and so on. The SG565 enables small office networks to easily connect their wired desktop or wireless notebook PCs to the Internet via broadband (ADSL, cable, SHDSL, T-1 and T-2 circuits, etc.) or narrow-band (modem or ISDN). Should the broadband connection fail the SG565 can fail over to a second broadband connection or the narrowband backup connection, ensuring uptime. By providing five separate security zones, the SG565 can support DMZs , guest networks, multiple LANs and WANs. The SG565 unifies defences to combat blended threats into a single device converging firewall, intrusion protection, threat containment (vulnerability scanning/blocking), with the capability of performing gateway anti-virus e-mail scanning. High availability is achievable by installing a pair of SG565 appliances for load balancing or hot standby.
VPN capabilities for Remote Access and Multi-site Access
A remote office network can safely become part of a central office network, as the SG565 is also a cost-effective VPN end point device. The SG565 includes industry-standard secure VPN access methods ( IPSec , PPTP, L2TP ) with hardware-accelerated encryption. It is complementary to the CyberGuard SG710 and CyberGuard TSP families of firewall/VPN appliances for medium to large-scale branch office to head office VPN deployments.
Anti-Virus Features
The CyberGuard SG appliance’s antivirus capabilities shield your LAN from viruses that
propagate through email, the web and FTP. An antivirus subscription is not required and
virus definitions are automatically kept up-to-date.
The CyberGuard SG appliance is equipped with proxies for POP, SMTP, HTTP and FTP
that facilitate the transparent scanning of files passing through it. If a virus is detected,
the user on your LAN sending or receiving the infected file or email is informed by an
error message or error email, and the infected file or email is not delivered to its destination.
Web Cache Features
TWeb browsers running on PCs on your LAN can use the CyberGuard SG appliance’s
proxy-cache server to reduce Internet access time and bandwidth consumption.
A proxy-cache server implements Internet object caching. This is a way to store
requested Internet objects (i.e., data available via HTTP, FTP, and other protocols) on a
server closer to the user's network than on the remote site. Typically the proxy-cache
server eliminates the need to re-download Internet objects over the available Internet
connection when several users attempt to access the same web site simultaneously.
The web site’s contents are available in the cache (server memory or disk) and quickly
accessible over the LAN rather than the slower Internet link.
The CyberGuard SG appliance’s web cache may also be configured to pass off web transation requests or responses to a third-party ICAP server for processing, using its ICAP client. This is typically used to integrate a third-party virus scanning, content filtering or complete CSM solution, such as WebWasher
