Business environments need much more stronger protective structures than the average user simply because they are more prone to be targeted by malware threats or hacker attacks. For this reason, the advanced security in their case consists of software solutions doubled by dedicated hardware devices.

Among the many types of such appliances that are available on the market, you can now find Kerio Control, a specialized Unified Threat Management (UTM) firewall that covers a broad spectrum of network protection needs.

Manageable from any Internet browser, the software component takes care of applications, incoming and outgoing traffic, filters content and monitors user activities in order to prevent and fight off any potential menace that may affect the environment it is supposed to secure.

Kerio Control is able to work with several network and Internet interfaces, including VPN servers and it offers easy to use bandwidth and traffic management functions. By enforcing HTTP as well as FTP policies, users and URL addresses can be kept under control through rules that are easy to create and edit.

When it comes to virus detection and elimination, Kerio Control is able to put to work a solution that may already be integrated in the target environment, or it can employ an external engine. The supported protocols for this kind of security include SMTP, POP3, FTP and HTTP. Besides the internal settings of each antivirus solution, this software comes with its own policies that act like a supplemental insurance that the protection will not fail.

Kerio Control is clearly meant for business usage and not for the larger audience. The high degree of detailing offered as well as the powerful control functions make this tool one that network administrators would use with maximum efficiency.
