Key Features and Technology

Antivirus protection

Each file and every web page opened by your users will be scanned for viruses and exploits using multiple antivirus products. Only scanned content reaches your network. Omniquad acts as an independent provider, sourcing licenses for these products from 3rd party antivirus vendors. All antivirus signatures are updated directly from these vendors and deployed throughout the infrastructure. In terms of comparative antivirus security, using Surfwall Remote is equivalent to using 3 additional antivirus products for your web downloads (refer to the Mailwall Remote brochure information for e-mail protection).

Spyware protection

The antispyware part of the service is powered by Omniquad AntiSpy: it blocks spyware by stripping out references to malicious ActiveX controls and harmful Java scripts as well as known spyware web sites in real time. Just as in antivirus protection, this happens before the web page viewed reaches your network perimeter. Omniquad AntiSpy has been rated as one of the most advanced anti-spyware solution by NetworkWorld Magazine. It has exhaustive database of most recent spywares on the net. Our researchers are working 24x7 to protect from all such threats.

Filtering web sites

Surfwall Remote can enforce your Internet access policy with 72 web site categories, specific time of day schedules as well as Active Directory or custom group membership rules.

As the Surfwall database is continuously updated by a team of dedicated Omniquad researchers, there's no need to download or maintain any web site updates. Because the web site database is centralised, web filtering will work invariably for the same user whether they log on from the office or later from home.

Improved Employee Productivity

According to many surveys conducted across companies; 30% of an employee's browsing time goes in surfing non important websites and 10% to 15% of the Surfing time is spent on adult and pornographic websites. Many employees do shopping, listen to online music and that way misuse the resources provided to them besides misusing there own time.

With Surfwall Remote you can configure web access policies for different users groups using the various categories. This will save you lot of man-hours and increase your employee productivity. You can also opt for reports if any employee has visited or is attempting to visit blocked websites.

Zero hour protection

Surfwall Remote is a zero administration service that requires no customer maintenance. Zero hour protection downloads / deployment latest antivirus signatures, backup, scalability and other administrative tasks required for efficient running of the service are managed by the service infrastructure operations staff from one of the Network Operation Centers (NOCs).

Highly Scalable

Surfwall Remote being a managed service is highly scalable; the same principle applies whether you have a single network of 10 users or multiple satellite offices with 10,000 users. Likewise, roaming users are equally protected even whey they log on to the Internet while travelling or logging on to the Internet from home — no VPN is required.
