More Fiyah! Firegate Leaves Viruses Up in Smoke

Remember when all you needed to protect your computer from hackers, spammers, and viruses was a decent firewall and some anti-virus software? Fast forward to today and the digital delinquents always seem to be two steps ahead of our most advanced security methods. Until now. Wiresoft, maker of high security products specifically for small to medium sized businesses has announced what they’re calling an “unbreakable” firewall.

The Firegate All-in-One Firewall with Disaster Recovery is the ultimate in network protection. According to the press release it’s “a unified threat management (UTM) network security product – a single platform that protects companies against all network security threats.” Meaning if Jack from accounting was using his workstation to visit some hardcore NSFW sites and got burned (Hmm, there’s a life lesson in there somewhere, go figure.) Firegate will handle your infected comp before it has time to spread the carnage through the office. Now the only thing that remains is to fire your dirty bird employee.

But truthfully, John and his websites of ill repute shouldn’t be an issue. Your guys in IT can use Firegate to setup safeguards, including website filtering and creating user groups with specific privileges.  You can also narrow the filtering process down to specific users, so if you wanted to give John a second chance you would just restrict his website access to strictly work-related surfing.

In the off chance that John’s NSFW virus does get into the system and reeks havoc on your network, costing you untold amounts of money in loss data, Firegate’s Disaster Recovery system is there to save the day. It already conserved your precious data on an outside server and then backed that up online on two other data centers in different locations. And with Firegates 24/7 tech support, you should only have to make a phone call and your data should be restored.

So what makes Wiresoft so sure that their latest product is so secure? So far its defenses have never been penetrated in lab or market tests. You read that right NEVER. They’re so sure that Firegate can take whatever you can throw at it they are issuing the “Hack Us If You Can” challenge. Starting November 16, so-called hackers have 24 hours to crack the system. If they’re successful, they’ll win $24,000. Now that’s seriously putting your money where your mouth is. Those interested in attempting to crack the bank, should stay tuned to Wiresoft.com for details. If you’re a small or medium business, you should also give Wiresoft a look, as we’re becoming increasingly reliant on technology, it’s crucial that those important files be protected with more that a flash drive and a prayer.
