NETASQ offers unified security solutions comprising a range of appliances that combine a firewall with a unique real time intrusion prevention technology and plenty of other security features (antivirus, antispam, web filtering, QoS, etc).
ASQ is the intrusion prevention engine on NETASQ appliances. This module provides the highest level of security for optimum performance and has been developed since 1998 in NETASQ's research and development laboratories.
ASQ is based on the following analysis methods :
 Protocol analysis
Contextual analysis
Heuristic analysis |
When these methods are combined, an immediate response can be given to new attacks and even unknown attacks can be prevented (0-day threat).
ASQ is also able to detect and block backdoors, spyware and port scans, and can filter peer-to-peer connections, instant messaging and multimedia (radio) traffic.
When combined with a firewall and embedded in a single appliance, the IPS complements the firewall's security features and guarantees intrusion prevention in real time.
An embedded development such as this goes in line with NETASQ's aim to offer a UTM (Unified Threat Management) appliance that provides the highest level of security by combining several analysis methods.
NETASQ continues to rely on the foundations which have contributed to its success in the past few years - the quality of its products and technological innovation.
Its aim is to offer, version after version, innovations that guarantee clients the continuity of their businesses and sustain confidence in the security of their infrastructure.
E-mail has become an indispensable work tool for an overwhelming majority of businesses.
Victim of its own success, it has also turned into a trap harboring threats that just continue to grow in number.
Spam (unsolicited e-mails) is a nuisance that, by its sheer volume, disrupts the daily routine of e-mail users.
It is no longer uncommon to see your inbox flooded with undesirable e-mails. The time wasted on sorting them out is significant and adversely affects productivity.
Solutions that protect against spam therefore need to solve this problem effectively, while ensuring at the same time that legitimate e-mails do not get deleted or blocked in the process.
