GFI launches Languard for ISA Server

Malta-based GFI has launched LANguard Content Filtering & Anti-virus for ISA Server, Microsoft Corp.’s enterprise firewall and Web cache server. LANguard provides content filtering and anti-virus checking of inbound and outbound network traffic at the server level. It scans incoming traffic for viruses, Trojans and objectionable material and permits the quarantining of downloads for administrator approval.
With LANguard, you can set up rules that can stop unproductive use of the Internet at work. LANguard was built from the ground up to work with ISA Server. As a result, installation and administration are easy: No dedicated machine is required, and there is no need to make any changes to the network configuration. LANguard hooks in ISA Server as a Web filter and can leverage features such as alerts, reporting and so on, that are already found in ISA Server. Additionally, all LANguard administration and configuration is integrated with the ISA Server 2000 configuration through Microsoft Management Console (MMC).
“We are pleased with GFI’s support of ISA Server 2000,” said Nevet Basker, director of business development for ISA Server at Microsoft. “The implementation of GFI’s anti-virus, content filtering and Internet access control technology on ISA Server will help accelerate the adoption of secure e-commerce applications. GFI’s support and approach to business security will help customers get the most from their ISA Server.”
“Just as Microsoft Exchange
Server revolutionised corporate email, GFI expects that ISA server will do the same for corporate security and Internet access,” said Nick Galea, GFI CEO. “As a result, LANguard content filtering and anti-virus builds on ISA Server’s ability to help organisations protect, accelerate and control their network access by bringing content checking, virus filtering and Internet access control functions to this new Microsoft platform, resulting in a highly scaleable and integrated way of implementing corporate security.”
