Over recent years, virus and network threats have become much more sophisticated. The challange facing small businesses is to protect their internal network from hackers and also give them the redundancy they need should their primary WAN go down, via traditional ISDN or 3G.

For smaller branch offices this is very similar requirment, but they need access via VPN back to the central data centre. Banks branch offices for example need high levels of redundancy as do retail outlets and other customer facing units needing real time stock and account information.There are businesses or small branch offices with under 10 users where the security device will need to protect a single broadband connection but remote access and addtional redundancy may be required.

Road warriors, teleworkers and home users may be at a fixed point or travel around. If their PC, network or Internet connections are not protected, each time they log on to the network or Internet there is the potential of uploading/downloading viruses including spyware and trojan horses. They also need to be protected from hackers trying to make access to their PC or network.

 The main challenge for medium sized businesses is to allow access to network resources and the Internet for clients to increase productivity without creating security holes. With the greater complexity of threats nowadays, a simple firewall is not enough to protect a network. You need to employ a UTM security appliance to give greater control and protection over network usage.

Greater complexity of threats needs increased capabilities within the gateway device. Remote access for teleworkers and remote workers as well as inter office communication with branch location to share network resources. Each additional end point to the network is an additional threat so it is imperative to use a solution that can check and control all the remote connections coming into the central network. Network resources also need to be secure and redundant. This becomes even more important when allowing your customers access to servers on your network.
