Web Filter - Control Web Content at the Gateway
Web Filtering enables administrators to enforce network usage policies and monitor user behavior. Zero client installation and category block lists make it easier for administrators to:

• Protect the network from malware on the web
• Block time-wasting sites like MySpace
• Conserve bandwidth by blocking audio/video downloads
• Leverage community URL categorization with the URL Submission tool

"The capacity you provided us to place restrictions on users' access with Web Filter are really vital to us maintaining a safe environment for the kids to learn in."
Steve Tassone , Mount St. Mary's Academy

According to an industry study, at least 90 percent of large enterprises and 50 percent of small companies in the United States now monitor and filter their employees' Internet access.

The primary reasons companies' use Internet filtering and monitoring is to block inappropriate content (44%), control productivity (32%) and preserve network bandwidth (23%).

Now you can easily monitor, set and enforce your own web usage policy with our Web Filter application-without the hassles of outsourcing it. Whether you want to use our blacklists or set your own policies for hosts, domains and files types, you can block access to inappropriate sites. Reporting enables you to view a big picture of the kind of Web browsing behavior occurring on your network.

Spam Blocker - Block Spam at the Network Gateway
Spam Blocker enables administrators to block spam at the gateway before it ever reaches the users. Zero client installations and an intuitive GUI make it easy for administrators to:

• Leverage the best spam filtering techniques including Bayesian Filters, Razor, real-time block lists (RBLs), OCR for image spam and tarpitting
• Provide individual quarantines for each mailbox
• Filter SMTP, POP & IMAP

"Right away, spam was down 95%"
Brian Welker , Sunridge Properties

Spam is the bane of small businesses' existence. It can not only bring viruses onto your network, but it can take over your computers and send spam to other computers.

And it impacts you in other ways. According to a recent study, the cost of spam messages to U.S. companies-in terms of productivity and the equipment, software and manpower to combat it-was upwards of $10 billion in 2004.

So the key is to stop spam before it stops you.

Our powerful Spam Blocker protects you with top-notch spam scanning and blocking at the edge of your network-before it can do damage or slow you down. Using the latest technologies, Spam Blocker transparently scans for spam, marks messages and intercepts emails. It requires no alteration of your network's mail configuration and is constantly updated to guard against any refinements in trickery or techniques that senders create to get around other solutions.

Spyware Blocker- Block Spyware at the Network Gateway

Spyware Blocker enables administrators to block spyware at the network gateway before it reaches users desktops. Zero client installations and an intuitive GUI make it easy for administrators to:

• Protect users from browsing websites that install malware
• Scan network traffic to block spyware before users can install it
• Ensure that signatures are always current with automatic updates

Is your IT guy spending too much time going from machine to machine getting rid of spyware only to have it show up again a week later?

The battle with spyware is constant, and its infection is insidious-you may not even know you have it until its doing real damage to your network. Weird settings, an abundance of pop-up ads (even when you're not on the Web), clicking hyperlinks that don't work and a sluggish system are just a few of the symptoms to look out for.

Stop spyware, ad ware and malware before it makes it to your network-and find already infected computers with our powerful Spyware Blocker. We use a wide range of cutting-edge technologies, including URL blocking, cookie blocking, ActiveX blocking of bad vendors and subnet logging, to protect you from attacks and infections.

Key Features:

• Manage your Block and Pass Lists
• Special "request pass" button makes it easy for a user when blocked to request the site to be white listed at the administrator's discretion
• Event log shows real-time spyware detected and blocked
• Reports track violations in summary, detail, and by user

Protocol Control- Block Port Hopping Applications
Protocol Control lets administrators take back control of their networks from disruptive port-hopping applications like peer-to-peer applications or online games. Signature based layer 7 filtering makes it easy for administrators to:

• Conserve bandwidth by blocking applications like peer-to-peer that open multiple TCP ports
• Improve productivity by blocking IM & online games that evade firewall rules
• Write custom signatures for any protocol

"While downloading, I turned on Protocol Control's P2P-Bittorrent blocking. As soon as I hit save, the Bit torrent client stopped downloading."
Ryan McLaughlin, JusTech'n.com

Protocol control covers a broad set of applications, such as Instant Messaging, Peer to Peer activity, online games and streaming media, which can clog your network, reduce productivity, and infect computers with spyware, malware, and viruses.

These applications are extremely aggressive and will sneak out on ports used for other vital network traffic such as web and email, making it nearly impossible to control them with firewall rules.

Protocol Control takes a different approach to log and/or block these applications using their signatures. This allows you to lock down the unwanted activity.

Key Features:

• Protocol control lets you select the protocol signatures to log or block
• Custom rules can be added for any unsupported protocols
• Time based policies let you decide when and if these applications are permitted
• Reporting lets you see which protocols are active on your network and who is using them

Virus Blocker- Block Viruses at the Network Gateway
Stop virus outbreaks before they reach users desktops. With an intuitive GUI and the ability to scan multiple protocols, Global Tech makes it easier for administrators to:

Protect users from virus threats over web (http), email (SMTP, POP & IMAP) and file transfer (FTP) protocols Scan archives and compressed files like Zip, RAR, Tar and many others Ensure that signatures are always current with automatic updates

"Malware isn't an issue anymore - stuff just gets picked up and zapped"
Jason Zeinstra, Orthopaedic Associates of Grand Rapids

• Unlike desktop solutions, we do it at the network gateway so there is only one application to keep up-to-date, and we do that automatically
• Potection on the most common email protocols SMTP, IMAP, and POP
• Protection for web mail and file transfer via HTTP and FTP protocols, an increasingly common route for infection
• Reports and event logs show you what viruses are being blocked on the network

Phish Blocker- Block Phishing & Pharming at the Gateway
Identity thieves are becoming increasingly sophisticated with email and website spoofs that are nearly impossible to discern from the real thing. Phish Blocker makes it easier for administrators to:

• Protect users from email phishing attacks and fraudulent pharming websites
• Protect multiple protocols, including HTTP, SMTP, POP & IMAP
• Ensure that signatures are always current with automatic updates

"Gone Phishing: Global Tech's Gateway Platform Delivers"
Fahmida Y. Rashid , ChannelWeb

Identity theft can compromise your business, and your accounts, as well as create turmoil in the lives of your employees. None-of-which is good for business.

Maintain the highest level of protection for you and your employees with our Identity Theft Blocker. This application protects your network against "phishing" attacks-emails that direct users to fraudulent websites with the intent to steal personal identity, credit card information and more.

Identity Theft Blocker marks phishing emails and puts them in a user's quarantine. Transparent, powerful and easy to use, it requires no alteration of your network's mail configuration.

Key Features:

• Block phishing email on SMTP, IMAP, and POP
• Event log of Phish caught
• Reports show how many fraud emails were stopped, who they were targeting, and from where they were sent

Intrusion Prevention- Stopping Hackers at the Gateway
Intrusion Prevention blocks hacking attempts before they reach internal servers and desktops. Pre-configured signature-based IPS makes it easier for administrators to:

• Provide 24/7 network protection from hackers
• Minimize annoying false positives
• Ensure that signatures are always current with automatic updates

Most hackers are looking for computer networks that they can hijack and exploit. They cast wide nets using automated programs that sniff out exposed networks. This makes small businesses, with more limited IT budgets, particularly vulnerable.

Our Intrusion Prevention software intercepts attacks in their tracks. Working transparently on your network, this innovative application uses thousands of signatures to detect, block and log intrusion attempts, using industry-standard rules.

Plus, we simplify the process by setting reasonable defaults for you on thousands of signatures-or you can change defaults and add new rules based on your company's specific needs.

Key Features

• Thousands of signatures for a variety of attacks
• Carefully selected defaults continually tuned by our Operations Center
• New attack signatures atomically downloaded to your server

Attack Blocker- Keeping DOS Attacks at Bay
Attack Blocker stops denial of service (DOS) attacks. Pre-configured settings and an intuitive GUI make it easier for administrators to:

• Provide 24/7 network protection from DOS attacks
• Sort good traffic from bad with reputation-based heuristics
• Put legitimate users with intensive bandwidth needs on Pass lists

Firewall- Your First Line of Defense
Prevent Denial-of-Service attacks-and keep your network focused on legitimate uses-with our patent-pending Attack Blocker.

"Unfriendly" machines earn bad reputations and are limited, dropped and rejected. Attack Blocker can also quickly identify unauthorized use of network resources and stop those resources from being allocated to unauthorized users.

Key Features:

• Dynamically blocks flood attacks based on reputation based heuristics
• Carefully allocates network resources to legitimate users if network is under attack
• Create exception list of users allowed to behave aggressively

Event Logs and reports show limited, dropped, and rejected events

VPN- Secure Remote Access
OpenVPN lets administrators provide secure remote access to the internal network. The intuitive GUI makes it easier to:

• Configure basic settings through a setup wizard
• Generate custom certs for each client
• Easily distribute client software via email

OpenVPN is one of two solutions we offer to enable secure, remote access to your network. OpenVPN requires a client on each host, meaning a small application must be installed on each computer that is going to require access.

OpenVPN makes the most sense for persistent site-to-site connections and remote access to non-web (e.g. client/server) applications.

OpenVPN is an SSL-based virtual private network. Supporting a range of platforms, including Windows 2000/XP and higher, Linux, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD, Mac OS X, and Solaris, OpenVPN can tackle all of your VPN needs. Powerful security and control features and intuitive set-up make this an ideal solution for your business.

Key Features:

• Status & Wizard for basic settings and set-up
• Custom executable automatically generated for each client
• Event Log shows VPN login/logout events
• Reports show general statistics on VPN usage

Reports- Network Visibility & Monitoring
Reports provide administrators the visibility and data necessary to investigate security incidents and enforce acceptable network usage policies.

• Monitor behavior at the user, client and incident level
• Understand traffic flows and network usage patterns
• Share reports in PDF or HTML formats

Visibility is the first step in controlling your network, identifying misuse, and enforcing your network usage policy. Reports provide this visibility and is also a great tool for troubleshooting.

You'll get daily, weekly and monthly reports about the activity in your network and each software application. How many viruses and spam were blocked? Which phish were caught? What Websites were visited?

Reports can be delivered via email or viewed on the Web.

Key Features:

• Summary, detail, and per user reports
• Automated email report delivery
• Report archive

Routing & QoS- Networking's Blocking & Tackling
Very flexible platform that can perform routing tasks or simply pass traffic as a transparent bridge. Routing capabilities enable administrators to:

• Provide the basics like NAT, DMZs, DHCP & DNS
• Get fancy with multiple NAT spaces, routing tables and configurable MTU
• Prioritize traffic with QoS
• Support SIP & IAX VoIP traffic

With routing, you can turn your Server from a transparent bridge into a router, providing router-related services such as Internet connection sharing.

Routing allows all hosts to share internet access via Network Address Translation (NAT), and also provides DHCP and DNS services and advanced routing capabilities. The administrator can configure NAT, as well as related redirect rules, and DMZ host settings. The administrator can also add static DHCP and DNS entries, as well as custom routes to support more complicated networks.

QoS is a great way for administrators to improve VoIP call quality and ensure that critical apps have priority access to bandwidth. QoS enables administrators to create a pool of bandwidth that is reserved for critical apps. Administrators can decide what percentage of their bandwidth to reserve depending on the size/type of their connections and the intensity of critical apps they intend to run concurrently. By segmenting services into high, medium and low priority queues, administrators can minimize interruptions to sensitive apps (VoIP, SSH, VNC, RDP, etc.) from bandwidth intensive downloads or websites (Youtube, etc.) that may be lower priority. For more QoS info see the QoS wiki page.
