Sygate for Network Protection via a Built-in Firewall
When working with "always-on" connections like DSL lines and cable modems, security is paramount; an organization does not want someone sneaking into its network and mucking around with its files via the DSL connection. In another departure from the proxy server field, Sygate has a built-in firewall based on packet-filtering and dynamically tunneling technology.
Sygate also excels at access monitoring and enforcement via "black and white lists," which control where networked computers can and cannot go, what they can do, and when they can do it. It keeps track of all access on the Internet, giving users the power (should they want it) to ensure that their employees and peers are not spending more time on sites like "www.Playboy.com" than on company business.
Organizations can apply access policies to both Internet sites and usenet newsgroups. In the case of home office networks, access controls can also be applied to childrens' accounts.
