This product has many useful features and protection capabilities. Features include anti-virus scanning for protocols such as SMTP, HTTP, FTP and POP3. This appliance will scan many of these protocols for spyware, spam, phishing, pharming and filter content. Because this is a gateway appliance and it is completely transparent, all traffic is monitored in both directions. It also has the ability to do web URL and content filtering to block harmful or inappropriate web content. Damage Cleanup is the most interesting feature of this device. This feature will deploy an agent to a known infected machine and clean up all traces of malware on the infected client.
We found this appliance extremely easy to use. Without documentation, we had the device up and running in minutes.
The Interscan Gateway Appliance performed very well during our tests. It has a massive amount of flexibility and can be deployed by itself — or as added protection to your existing network structure of firewalls and VPNs — without causing any disturbance to the network.
We found documentation to be as outstanding as the product itself. The documentation contained easy to understand text, several charts and diagrams.
