Allied Telesis Announces launch of its Next-Gen Firewalls (NGFWs)

Allied Telesis has announced the launch of its next-generation Firewalls (NGFWs), a new range of security appliances for protecting enterprise and government organizations, remote offices, and embedded applications.

The new Allied Telesis NGFWs integrates application control, intrusion prevention, and actionable reporting. Improved protection is available by subscribing to the security services that offers web filtering, anti-malware, and protection against advanced persistent threats. Application control also allows security to be defined in terms of business rules rather than networking protocols.

The company in a statement said, “With the rise of the ‘Internet of Things’, the consequences of inadequate security are significant.”

Packed with multi-core CPUs the NGFWs offer simple management via web-based GUI, and feature support for Allied Telesis Management Framework (AMF). AMF reduces operational expenditure, and enable staff of an organization to focus on improving service delivery within their organizations.

“The new range of firewalls allows an enterprise to deploy next-generation security measures at the branch office, rather than relying on the firewall at the headquarters to protect everyone,” commented Graham Walker, Product Manager at Allied Telesis. “These new products allow up-to-the-minute protection company-wide, and at a fraction of the cost of traditional firewall solutions.”
