As a reseller of Untangle for Singapore, Malaysia and the Philippines, Futuregen is proud to highlight the top of mind questions about the affordable network security software from Untangle.

Why do you need a network security software to secure your network? If your network is connected to the internet, chances are you are being attacked, spammed, spoofed, or your enterprise assets are being compromisedwithout you even knowing it! Its scary.

Securing your network not only protects your enterprise assets, it also ensures that your web facing applications are available to users when they need it. To learn more, here is a short video on the Untangle Network Security Software http://www.untangle.com/video_overview.

If network security is so important, why arent other businesses securing their network? Two factors: Cost and expertise. Top of line security products do cost a lot. It comes with esoteric commands that require a highly trained security professional to operate.

But these are things of the past. Untangle's solution is not only free to download, it is also easy to use. The graphical interface enables you to set options and then wait for the executive summary reports to arrive via email!

With Untangle's solution, there really are no excuses for not protecting your network.

What can Untangle do as a Network Security Software?

Well a lot! Here is a list of what it can do, and we call the term in the security industry:

Router. Provides basic routing functionality, and DHCP and DNS servers. It may already be installed depending on the selections made during the setup wizard. If there is already a router on the network, there is no need to install the Router unless replacing the current firewall/router. Router makes the Untangle Server act like a router that by default serves DHCP and DNS with an internal IP of 192.168.1.1, much like a Linksys or Netgear router.

Firewall. You can define what types of traffic can enter your network. So it enables your network to show a smaller attack footprint on the internet. In short, it limits the points of entry that are open to hackers. Web Filtering. It blocks your employees from time-wasting and unproductive surfing. You control what sites are allowed and not allowed for users inside your network. Best of all, you can just select categories like violence, hacking, sex and the software will do the rest!

Spam Blocker. Uses all sorts of spam technologies like blacklists, bayesian filters, signatures, and optical character resolutions to scan email and detect spam. After installing Spam Blocker, it scans SMTP, POP3, and IMAP traffic and can block spam as it enters your network. Users wont even need to download the spam, and frees them from having to delete it!

Virus Blocker. Scan all network traffic for viruses and drop them. No software is required on the end user desktop: all the scanning is done on the traffic as it transits through the Untangle server. Virus Blocker provides a great solution for those without virus protection on the end user desktops or for those wanting an extra layer of virus protection. Virus Blocker is completely configured by default and requires no extra tinkering or configuration.
