Internet Security Solution BroadScan™ Enhanced with Intrusion Prevention System
21 July 2005
SOHOware has announced a new feature upgrade to its BroadScan™ Spam-Virus Firewall Appliances that adds intrusion detection and prevention (IDS/IPS) capabilities. The additional intrusion scanning and alerting functions further solidify BroadScan™ as an unprecedented value for Value-Added Resellers targeting small and medium business Internet security opportunities.
Dr. C.T. Wu, CEO of SOHOware, explains, “The IDS/IPS system layers a scanning intrusion signature database with nearly 3000 attack signatures over the existing heuristics behavior analysis to optimize threat control and management.” Dr. Wu went on to state that the system's response to attacks on Internet security range from logging the attack to blocking the attacker. Administrative management has the option to define Internet security alerting levels as necessary for efficiency, isolate traffic from higher risk sources, such as new users, for more intensive scrutiny, and individually assess each type of threat for its risk factor.
As an added convenience to their customers, SOHOware remains committed to supporting free Internet security signature updates to viruses, Spam, Spyware and now IDS/IPS. Ashok Kumar, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for SOHOware, said, “Free IDS/IPS updates considerably enhance the value proposition for VARs by remaining true to our 'no subscription fees' business model. Many VARs are telling us their frustrations with other Internet security appliance vendors who require separate subscriptions for virus, Spyware, intrusion protection and more. BroadScan™ has none of that.”

* The intrusion signature database is constantly expanded to reflect new Internet security threat patterns and is available for update on demand or by pre-defined schedule
