Netgear Powershift Partner

Unigold becomes a Netgear ProSecure Accrdited Partner.

We are proud to annouce that we have gained accreditation in the installtion of Netgear ProSecure Web and Email Threat Management appliances.

Unigold announced today that it will be teaming up with NETGEAR for the launch of NETGEAR’s new line of Web/Email Threat Management (STM) appliances. This new line of appliances delivers a level of security and performance to the SMB that is normally only within reach to the enterprise. Aimed directly at businesses and delivered by Unigold, the STM Series of Web and Email Threat Management Appliances is NETGEAR’s first family of products to be introduced under its ProSecure™ brand. The NETGEAR STM Series combines best-of-breed security features and patent-pending Stream Scanning technology, providing the SMB with an enterprise-class web and email protection solution against rapidly evolving Internet-based threats that is both simple to deploy and affordable.

Specifically, Unigold and NETGEAR are aiming to provide SMBs with solutions that have typically been used in larger market segments with the release of its new ProSecure Security Threat Management Series of Web and E-mail Management Appliances.

The STM 150, geared for 10 to 150 users, is currently available on the market through Unigold, while the STM300, geared for 150-300 users, and the STM600, designed for up to 600 users, will be available during the second quarter 2009.

The solution is sold as an appliance but updated with relevant threat information from the cloud — a service that is offered to end user customers through subscription services.

"That kind of hybrid appliance/service model is more palatable to SMB customers who are considering integrating managed services components into their security infrastructures," said Matt Gaskin, MD of Unigold 2000 Ltd.

In light of increasingly sophisticated malware targeting the Web, the STM series appliance was designed as an answer to security challenges that come with increased reliance on Web applications for daily business, NETGEAR executives say.

Unigold maintains that it is easy to deploy, without the need to reconfigure mail servers or Web proxies. Altogether, the STM line includes enterprise-level anti-malware and anti-spam engines, zero hour threat protection and an enterprise-class URL filter, along with 24x7 technical support.
