Open Source Firewall Real Examples

Posted On November 25, 2019 at 12:21 pm by Web Admin / Comments Off on Open Source Firewall Real Examples

There are many people arguing that it is only possible to go for Enterprise firewall. However, there are non-profit making organization or small businesses not able to afford top-end products like Checkpoint, WatchGuard, etc. Most of the open source firewall operating systems are developed for more than 1 decade and using by millions of individual and organization. Our professional service team is delivering both Open Source and Enterprise firewall or UTM gateway solutions. In this article, we would like to share some of the real applications of Open Source firewall with happy users for at least 3 years. First of all, we would like to introduce a case for a primary school with around 100 devices connecting to the network and the internet. This catholic school is not able to afford an Enterprise class UTM gateway and consequent annual maintenance fee. They are using the IPCOP as a static firewall with additional add-ins to protect their web, email and even student database server. Their solution was deployed in 2014 and there is no single case of failure by virus, malware and ransomware. (Remarks: they are using an Enterprise Anti-virus endpoint in education discount together with the IPCOP firewall)

Another case is the computer lab owned by a Data Science consulting company – Smart Data Institute Limited located in Hong Kong. They are using 2 nodes installed OPNSense as a cluster in front of their own private cloud and their workstations in the lab. However, Sensei is a plugin for firewalls which complement them with features like Application Filtering, Advanced Network Visibility and Cloud Application Control. (Note: their production network is using another Enterprise firewall – contact us for details) Apart from IPCop and OPNsense, there are still many different open source firewall solutions available in the market. pfSense and OPNsense are those options able to meet Enterprise class demand. IPfire is the one easiest to use and maintain, which is fit for SOHO and small organization without dedicated internal IT resources. However, there is no perfect security solutions to protect everything. In order to maintain better Information Security, it is important to apply corresponding security policies, such as Computer Security Policy, Data Retention Policy, etc. It is important to review the related policies and the latest technologies in order to balance the productivity and security. Should you have any question, you can contact us to arrange a free consultation session for seeking the tailored solution for your organization.

Protect Your Children with Security Suite

Posted On November 10, 2019 at 9:15 pm by Web Admin / Comments Off on Protect Your Children with Security Suite

You can find anything in the internet including violence, sex and drugs information. It is highly recommended parents should protect their own children with the help of Security Suite – such as Bitdefender Total Security. For taking Bitdefender as an example, it is because the Bitdefender brand with OEM products are protecting over 500 million devices worldwide. In this example, we try to demonstrate the functions of a security suite with Child protection. You should find similar functions and features in many different brands like Kaspersky, McAfee, Symantec, etc. First of all (in Bitdefender Total Security), open the Parental Advisor / Parental Control functions in other antivirus to input the child’s profiles and prepare the custom settings.

Then, it will prompt for the owner’s account to avoid the “hacking” from your child.

Next, you are about to create a new custom profile. First of all, you should pick your chlid’s device(s) with Bitdefender product being installed.

Input your chlid’s name

It will show the related device for the settings.

Pick the user for the device.

Important: For the device, it is only allowed user account(s) with profile to access the corresponding device with Parental Control switching on.

It is important to input the email account to receive alerts and for which alerts being active for the monitoring.

Moreover, you can create or modify your own customized control by adding hostname(s) into the blacklist or whitelist. In the example below, it shows “facebook.com” being blocked.

You can also monitor for whom your child is always talking to.

Further, you can check your chlid’s current location with the near real-time monitoring.

Meanwhile, you can set for when your child is able to access or use the computer and / or surfing the internet.

If your child is trying to log on outside the scheduled time, he / she should see the page below by asking the parents for special request or just switch it off as suggested.

Conclusion Freedom is important for everyone. However, it is basic responsibility for parents to protect their children from abuse or day-long usage to affect their children’s health both physically and psychologically.

Protect yourself with the best security package

Posted On August 19, 2019 at 4:10 pm by Web Admin / Comments Off on Protect yourself with the best security package

From 2017, there are lots of incidents of ransomware around the world. Traditional Firewalls are not able to filter the threads and not every anti-virus software is able to tickle. There is a client – a local security trading firm with hundreds of workstations provided for investors to use in their office. Unfortunately, there were 2 machines being inflected and seriously affecting their company images. They have installed an American bland Anti-virus solutions but failed to protect them. Our consulting team had met them and suggest them to take Bitdefender GravityZone Business Security to protect their workstations and servers. Moreover, they would like to offload their Anti-virus server in their office. So, they are deploying the Bitdefender GravityZone security with the cloud service. It requires only 1 workstation for the update agent. For the final deployment, there are only 2 workstations being acted as the update agent for the hundred computers.

Figure 1. Awards for Bitdefender from Different Organization / Magazine After 2 years, there is no longer any single security protection failure. It is not only just a single example in Hong Kong. However, there are 500 million devices in the world using Bitdefender engine including OEM showing the number 1 Anti-virus solution being trusted by a large number of vendors. Not only the basic functions and features are enjoyed by the client. There are additional features like device management down to hardware device level. To take an example, the client has applied a particular USB hard-drive (by the unique hardware device ID) could able to connect to their workstations in order to maintenance the highest level protection. To sum up, Bitdefender is not the cheapest Anti-virus solutions but it is the only one to be considered as the primary protection. Moreover, we are also using Bitdefender with local jewellery, retail chains, large scale Pharmaceutical factory, local security trading firms, insurance corporations, etc.
