The ISA Gateway is of particular value to IT managers, network administrators, and information security professionals who are concerned about the security, performance, manageability, and cost of network operations.
Protect Your Network From External and Internal Internet-Based Threats
Businesses need to eliminate the damaging effects of malware and attackers through a comprehensive set of tools for scanning and blocking harmful content, files, and websites. ISA Server 2006 can help organisations protect their environments from internally and externally originating Internet-based threats. With a hybrid proxy-firewall architecture, deep content inspection, granular policies, and comprehensive alerting and monitoring capabilities, ISA Server 2006 makes it easier to manage and protect your network.
Securely Publishing Your Content for Remote Access
Businesses need to provide employees and partners with secure and appropriate remote access to applications, documents, and data from any PC or device. ISA Server 2006 enables organisations to make their Exchange, SharePoint, and other Web application servers accessible in a more secure way to remote users outside the corporate network. By pre-authenticating users before they gain access to any published servers, inspecting even encrypted traffic at the application layer in a stateful manner, and providing automated publishing tools, ISA Server 2006 makes it easier to provide security for corporate applications accessed over the Internet.
Connecting and Securing Your Branch Offices
Businesses need to connect remote-site branch offices to their corporate headquarters, provide security-enhanced Internet access from branch offices, and utilise limited bandwidth more efficiently. Organisations can use ISA Server 2006 to connect to and secure their branch offices, while efficiently utilising network bandwidth. By providing HTTP compression, caching of content (including software updates), and site-to-site virtual private network (VPN) capabilities integrated with application-layer filtering, ISA Server 2006 makes it easier to securely expand corporate networks.
