The rack-mounted server See rack server. can be safely managed across the untrusted Internet with strongly authenticated, encrypted sessions using a new highly-intuitive, next-generation Windows(R) software package. Sidewinder G2 Enterprise Manager has been designed to appeal to IT departments with high performance and enterprise management for multiple firewalls, and to Secure's existing Gauntlet(TM) and Sidewinder firewall customers in over 85 countries around the world. "As companies bypass central security, allowing branch offices and remote workers to connect directly to the Internet, the Internet, the, international computer network linking together thousands of individual networks at military and government agencies, educational institutions, nonprofit organizations, industrial and financial corporations of all sizes, and commercial enterprises ability to control more than one firewall from a central location is necessary, particularly within large companies with multiple firewalls across multiple locations," said Kristen Noakes-Fry, research director at Gartner, Inc. "Because all the firewalls will be configured at the same time from a central location, centralized management will reduce the time needed to configure each firewall." Sidewinder G2 Enterprise Manager makes it simple to manage hundreds of firewall policies. Customers merely build objects and rules once in the integrated SQL database. A powerful software function called "substitution" takes one generalized rule and in an instant automatically builds individual site-specific firewall rules, transparent to the administrator. New business-urgent firewall policies can be quickly deployed with a single "Apply Policy" command. Adding a new firewall to a policy group is extremely easy as it automatically inherits a predefined policy. "We have existing Sidewinder and Gauntlet customers and are delighted with Secure's new central management system," said Wes Kaufmann, president at Open Systems and Data Solutions. "The Sidewinder G2 Enterprise Manager is an outstanding enterprise-wide policy management system that will save our clients an immense amount of administration effort with all of their firewalls. We also like the fact that this server is running on a highly-secure platform that provides our clients with complete trust that the SQL database holding their global security policies and audit logs cannot be comprised." With G2 Enterprise Manager and its Power-It-On(TM) convenience, you only need a few skilled firewall experts across your entire organization to build, deploy, and lock down firewall policies. Customers save on firewall administration time; reduce firewall administration cost; and ensure that their firewalls remain securely configured at all times. The Sidewinder G2 Enterprise Manager's powerful Windows management package supports many advanced features not normally seen in first-release products and builds on the Gauntlet GEMS architecture, including distributed administrator roles with record locking See file and record locking. to mitigate any administration conflicts, and comprehensive audit logs of every database modification that will satisfy even the strictest security audit.
