Kerio Control - Features

Key Features:

• Next-Generation Firewall, Router and Leading-Edge IPS: Preserve the integrity of your servers with deep packet inspection and advanced network routing capabilities -- including simultaneous IPv4 and IPv6 support. Create inbound and outbound traffic policies, restricting communication by specific URL, application, traffic type, content category and time of day.
• Advanced Gateway Antivirus: Keep viruses, worms, trojans and spyware from infesting your network with integrated Sophos Gateway Antivirus.
• Industry-Leading Web, Content and Application Filtering: Selectively block, allow or log access to 141 categories of web content and applications using Kerio Control Web Filter with application awareness. Keep bandwidth-hogging traffic like streaming video off your network or block peer-to-peer networks. Keep your users from visiting malware sites that are known to contain viruses and spyware or to engage in phishing or identity theft. The optional Kerio Control Web Filter with application awareness limits legal liability, protects your network and boosts user productivity by limiting user access to dangerous or inappropriate sites or those that just plain waste time.
• Quality of Service: Easily prioritise and monitor network traffic to guarantee high-speed transmission for the most important traffic types. Internet Link Load Balancing optimises Internet access by distributing traffic across multiple links. Kerio Control monitors link availability and automatically disables or re-enables links to ensure continuous Internet access.
• Productivity-Boosting Usage Reporting: Get detailed usage reporting with Kerio Control Statistics. This component lets managers and admins view the Internet and application activities of individual users -- from a list of all sites visited, to the specific search terms users enter on search engines and websites.
• Secure VPN: Link headquarters to remote users and branch offices securely and easily. Kerio’s own VPN tunneling with dead-simple setup requires minimal configuration and provides a high performance network connection.
• Remote Management and Monitoring: Handle all administration and configuration activities from a customisable web-based console using your desktop or tablet. Quickly and securely access security settings, manage users and bandwidth and set traffic policies from an intuitive interface. Stay in control of all your appliances from anywhere using MyKerio. Manage multiple Kerio Control deployments through a centralised web interface providing consolidated system information, automatic configuration backup, status monitoring, system notifications and complete remote configuration.
