Kerio Winroute Firewall - security and control in one package
As we wrote in the introduction, one of the great advantages of Kerio Winroute Firewall is that it is suitable for optimizing the use of resources, more precisely in this case a resource, the Internet. We saw on the previous page that companies are taking advantage of these optimization options, and even now they consider them more important than the traditional firewall feature.
We may think that the cost of the internet is a small piece of dust in a company’s budget, but if we think about it, we forget about how much traffic a business with as many as 20 people can generate by letting our employees be free to mess around the internet. Plus, we shouldn’t forget that just one type of relationship isn’t enough for a company to have secure access.
Kerio Winroute Firewall is suitable for monitoring and controlling employees' Internet use. As I explained earlier, with the help of the software, we have complete control, and with the help of logging capabilities, we can also find the weak points of the network, even if it is occasionally one of our employees who use the network. Control and intervention includes filtering web pages, Internet search engines, and essentially all software that uses an Internet connection. You can prevent, allow, or assign different amounts of resources, or bandwidth, to each program.
The savings in this case, of course, are not only reflected in the cost of the Internet, as control also helps to make better use of employees' working time. I don’t think we would have a reader who works on a computer and wouldn’t have a co-worker who reads the news or talks online for hours during the day. It irritates those who do their jobs normally, and then let’s not even talk about your boss.
Using Kerio Winroute Firewall solves many problems in one fell swoop. We may suddenly realize that a fraction of the bandwidth used so far is enough to keep the company operational, or we may realize that the capacity that was previously considered scarce covers a lot of the need. This capability of the software can therefore be measured in HUF.
It is equally useful for a larger company to be able to harmonize existing relationships. It is possible to distribute the load optimally, or in the event of one or another service failure, it is possible to switch to a working connection smoothly, thus saving time and money. You can use DSL, cable, ISDN, satellite, analog modem and wireless Internet connections, all of which can be managed, load sharing between them, or any connection can be used as a backup system.
The VPN service also helps to save money. As I mentioned earlier, Virtual Private Networking allows employees to access the corporate network remotely, so they can connect to work either from home or on a business trip. So again, with VPN, we can only make more efficient use of working time.
