Secure Firewall Geo-Location Blocks Connections By an IP Address
Secure Computing, an enterprise gateway security company, lately launched a new service that allows organizations to create policies that block connections by an IP address (for any network protocol/application), based on country code information. Dubbed as Secure Firewall Geo-Location, it provides organizations with the ability to reduce their exposure to attack by essentially shrinking the size of the Internet.
Geo-Location when used in conjunction with Secure Computing’s TrustedSource, reduces an organization’s threat exposure by defining policies that rely on a combination of IP address reputation as well as country code, claimed the company. It further prevents employees from visiting malware infected Web sites hosted in countries blocked by the Secure Firewall and Geo-Location policy.
It also reduces traffic volume and therefore bandwidth requirements on public-facing Web, application and remote access servers, which don’t have to process these unwanted connections from countries that the organization has disallowed.
“The Secure Firewall’s ability to filter connections based on the country code of an IP address enables our clients to significantly reduce virus and malware threats from high risk areas they would normally not be doing business with,” said Preston Hogue, Chief Security Officer of Network Computing Architects.
Starting at a price of USD 1,900, Secure Firewall Geo-Location is immediately available now.
