D-Link gets into protection game

NETWORKING and communication player D-Link has launched a range of products offering security for businesses including firewall range, a security information gateway and an online security portal.

“Historically, businesses would source their network infrastructure separately to their security solution”, explains Kevin Wen, President of D-Link Europe. “Today, businesses recognise the importance of network security and look for integrated hardware solutions to achieve the highest compatibility and reliability. We recognise the importance of a secure network for businesses of all sizes and have therefore focused heavily on providing security solutions that complement xStack, the D-Link business switching range, thereby providing our customers not only with an effective but also secure network infrastructure” concludes Wen.

D-Link says the NetDefend firewall series provides a network security solution with integrated Multi-WAN Link load balancing, server load balancing, fault tolerance, content filtering, Denial of Service (DoS), user authentication and application blocking, as well as VPNC certification to ensure VPN compatibility with other major firewall brands in the market. µ
