Bringing Broadband Internet to Cyprus...

Sitting literally between the Internet and your computer network, GateKeeper is an Innovative computer hardware solution that provides total protection against all these threats and a lot more besides. The system also offers further benefits In Internet access monitoring and control, and can provide valuable productivity benefits for networked users.

Automatic e-mail and anti-virus protection

Brining huge benefits to a wide range of business and private users, GateKeeper provides full protection against more than 7,000 known viruses, 'worms' and 'Trojan Horses'.

Working effortlessly across multiple ISP accounts, GateKeeper instantly detects and deletes infected e-mails, protecting your own computer and preventing you unwittingly passing the virus to friends, family and business associates. GateKeeper also protects against the increasing threat from browser-based attacks - hidden page code which can cause a crashed browser, theft of information and loss of data.

With new threats being introduced all the time, virus protection must be updated constantly. And unlike traditional software solutions, GateKeeper checks its virus definitions automatically, every hour for up-to-the-minute protection.

Total security against network intrusion

Broadband Internet access can make computers easy prey to hackers unless adequate protection is provided. GateKeeper includes a commercial grade 'firewall', which prevents any unauthorized access to your computer network. It not only stops Internet sabotage and theft of information, but also blocks 'spy software', which can steal valuable information (such as your address book) when you access certain web sites.

Spam e-mail detection

Unsolicited e-mail ('spam') is not just inconvenient, it can bring networks to a standstill and bring offensive and unsuitable content. GateKeeper blocks and destroys unsolicited e-mails before they reach your screen. The automatically updated software checks e-mails against a list of known 'spammers' and unsuitable web sites, and examines more than 800 potential spam characteristics to weed out unsolicited material. And new, more sophisticated detection technologies are being deployed all the time. Again, one GateKeeper can protect a whole organization with multiple ISP accounts.

Enhanced Internet efficiency

GateKeeper can not only protect, but enhance your web access productivity. Intelligent, predictive 'caching' of your 200 most visited websites per installation saves the pages for instant 'no wait' display - with pages refreshed automatically at off-peak times. For networked users, this further benefits, reducing broadband bandwidth requirements by up to 40% for even faster Internet access.

E-mail performance is also enhanced through Outbound Mail relay, which spools all outgoing e-mail, in the background. For the user it means instant, 'no wait' e-mail transmission.

Easy content filtering

GateKeeper is the perfect basis for a responsible Internet usage policy with particular benefits for parents and educational establishments. Web content filtering allows parents, teachers or business managers to bar access to undesirable Internet content of any particular type, e.g. pornography, gambling or Internet chat rooms. The system can even stop undesirable 'pop-up' advertising.

Automatically updated 'red-Green' URL lists put you in control of all access through the GateKeeper. The 'Red' list contains unsuitable sites, while the 'Green' list contains those you wish to encourage your students to use. In addition, web access times can be tailored to a school's needs with unauthorized 'out of hours' use blocked automatically.

24 hour access monitoring

GateKeeper alerts the user of external attack or unauthorized usage. Regular confidential monthly user reports (optional at extra cost) are also available, identifying all Internet use and abuse across the whole network. All internal and external web site access is logged by time of day, and logs can be automatically e-mailed to a nominated client e-mail address.

Technical details

No larger than a compact DVD player, GateKeeper is a true 'fit and forget' solution. Tested in multiple environments with proven installations all over the world, the hardware is installed in moments between your external broadband link and the switch or hub that connects your computers.

System management and diagnostics are controlled remotely by GateKeeper. And for complete peace of mind, all configuration software and protection definitions are downloaded automatically, the moment it is first switched on.
