Linux Security
Wireless Dimensions recognize the importance of adequate safeguarding of company networks against external threats as well as internal misuse of company resources. In the current digital business environment where the Internet and email play an integral role in the way businesses communicate, access, and share information, the need for Linux security has grown tremendously in the past few years. As such Wireless Dimensions has developed WDGuard as a Linux security solution for small business, medium sized enterprises and even home office workers.
The WDGuard Linux security solution is easy to install and maintain. It comes with a user friendly interface and provides full Linux security. It includes bandwidth protection, Internet usage control, email protection and automatic safeguarding of the company network against external threats.
Bandwidth control
Through the use of bandwidth graphs the client can easily identify bandwidth usage by specific employees according to the day, week or month. The Ntop allows for the identification of usage type such as downloading of videos, mp3s, games, etc. Clients obtain insight into the surfing behaviour of employees through logs which also indicate how much bandwidth is used at a specific site. The solution includes an advanced proxy server that offers the benefit of faster web browsing abilities and the blacklisting of gaming, porn and gambling sites.
Limiting Internet usage
Unfortunately, the growth of the Internet has not only enhanced the ability to find information, it has opened a new world for employees who often spend a large portion of their workday surfing the Net for information, chat, and downloads which are not related to the work at hand. In order to increase productivity, businesses need to limit Internet usage by time, sites and usage type. Through the use of content and URL filtering offered as part of the solution, porn, game, and gambling sites can be blocked. This also includes music download sites, chat rooms, MSN and Skype used for personal reasons. The system can prevent staff from accessing the Internet until specific tasks are performed, while unproductive staff can be limited to email communication.
Email control
Gain control over incoming and outgoing mail through the use of the mail server that can be used behind an exchange server to block spam or used as a normal email server. The solution also includes anti-virus and spam blocking applications. Content is scanned and spam blocked before download. A message is delivered to the client once a day with the list of spam messages blocked. The client can unblock specific messages which will be allowed to download in future while spam that managed to get through the server can be identified and sent to the spam blocker for future blocking.
The WDGuard Linux security solution runs behind exchange servers and prevents more than 90% of spam messages from being downloaded. This in itself increases productivity and reduces the bandwidth used up by spam. Through the webmail option, employees can view their messages when out of office or travelling anywhere in the world as long as they have access to the Internet. Messages can be viewed online and those not relevant deleted.
Network protection
In addition to all the above, WDGuard also provides firewall protection, DHCP server, dynamic DNS and identification of intrusions. Through PPPoE connectivity is guaranteed.
