Organization's Network

Barbedwire Technologies, a leader in multifunction security appliance solutions, today officially launched the breakthrough DP Inspector family of security appliances. The DP Inspector (pronounced "deep inspector") is the World's first appliance line-up that combines deep packet inspection for intrusion prevention with firewall, VPN, antivirus, antispam, URL filtering, IDS, WiFi security, vulnerability scanning, and security event management from a single appliance. For the first time corporations may manage the widest range of security solutions from a single console to simplify and reduce the costs associated with network security management.

"It is no longer sufficient for security products to notify a network administrator that their network is being hacked," said Zia Iqbal, CEO of Barbedwire, "it is time for security products to automatically prevent intrusions and that is exactly what our DP Inspector appliances deliver, and at a price most enterprises can afford. The DP Inspector is the result of over 2 years of development of our IDS and patent pending active response technologies that we now have built right into the core of our multifunction appliances."

Carlos Castan, CEO of Entel Dataworks a reseller of Barbedwire Technologies, located in New Jersey agrees, "Our customers need a product that prevents attacks. They can't afford to have an expensive security expert on their IT staff and the DP Inspector allows less sophisticated IT administrators to manage all of the security aspects of their network from a single web based console and it automatically stops malicious attacks."

The three DP Inspector models: DPI100, DPI500X, and DPI2000X are designed for various sized networks and are priced from $1495. They are a tremendous value when comparing performance, features, costs to own, and price.
