InterWall Details
The interPole Firewall consists of the following:
A dedicated PC running under Linux environment, which is configured as a firewall
and acts as a gateway to all traffic crossing the network barriers. Linux being
based on Unix which was the original environment on which the Internet was built
and evolved, provides most advanced network interface for setting restrictions.
The system runs on plain PC configuration with minimal hardware requirements
thus saving on the cost of a new system.
The hardened
operating system, high-performance packet filter, virus protection, content
filter, application proxies, and the intuitive user interface are installed
on the system. The firewall is completely configured either locally by using
the graphical administration tool WebAdmin, or from a remote location securely
via the Internet. Small and mid-sized businesses no longer need to acquire specialized
knowledge to implement a robust security solution. And the ongoing administration
of the firewall is easily managed via the Internet.
The functionality of interPole Firewall is based on an especially secure and
comprehensively tested Open Source Software that has been developed by leading
specialists worldwide. The publicly accessible code was then tested for possible
security flaws by thousands of experts.
Hardly any other software has ever been subjected to this intense level of
quality assurance. The hardened Linux installation, which has been adapted to
suit firewall requirements, meets the highest security standards.
The dynamic stateful packet inspection filter checks the source and target
address of the data packets and blocks undesired data traffic while maintaining
high throughput. InterPole Firewall allows the division of local networks into
separate segments (DMZ - demilitarized zones). Expandable up to 25 network cards
supporting even the most complex firewall and WAN scenarios.
Firewall software and policies are set as per the application requirements. Undesired
traffic such as Chat services like MSN, Yahoo, etc. can be optionally opened only
for certain users on the network. Similarly, file sharing between PCs on the LAN
can be enabled such that any PC outside the network cannot snoop onto the private
data of the organization, but at the same time provide complete access to the
systems within the company.
The Firewall has logging capabilities to review the network access requests
and usage. These can also optionally include keep setting up Internet access
accounts for users within the office network. This in turn provides for a history
of the surfing habits of the users, and allows analyzing the productivity of
the staff. At the same time, it allows for other Internet based applications
running on other servers behind the firewall to function smoothly without any
major modifications in the system.
Access to critical parameters of the system for eg. Setting up firewall policies,
user restrictions, etc. are available for modification only to the assigned
firewall administrator. Any suspicious activity such as port scans and failed
login attempts are reported to the administrator at predefined intervals for
action. Usage Reports can also be accessible to the Admin in a graphical form
to analyze the Network bandwidth performance of the Cable ISP.
Thus the interPole firewall solution provides isolation of the office network
from the rest of the world, set up access policies for users of the internal
network to avoid loss of productivity and examine the upstream provider performance
