eSoft ThreatWall 300 Content Security Gateway Earns Prestigious CRN 'Test Center Recommended' Rating

Posted on: Tuesday, 16 August 2005, 06:00 CDT

BROOMFIELD, Colo., Aug. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- eSoft, Inc., a leading vendor of integrated Internet security and content management solutions, announced that its ThreatWall(TM) 300 Content Security Appliance has been awarded CRN's coveted 'Test Center Recommended' rating.

The review article by Frank J. Ohlhorst commended the ThreatWall's patented SoftPak(TM) technology, which offers end-users virtually a 'plug-and-play' experience in adding and managing subscription services (such as Gateway Antivirus and Anti-Spam) on the device.

Mr. Ohlhorst also recognized eSoft for its progressive channel program and VAR portal, which allows partners to access and manage individual customer accounts and receive automatic revenue sharing subscription services sold directly through the SoftPak Director e-commerce architecture. As a result of the review, the device earned 5 out of 5 stars for its Channel Rating and 4 out of 5 stars for its Technical Rating, for a total of an impressive 9 out of 10 stars.

The ThreatWall 300 is an award-winning integrated Internet security appliance designed to augment an organization's existing firewall to provide critical Deep Packet Inspection services such as Anti-Virus, Anti-Spam, Email Content Filtering, Intrusion Prevention*, Anti-Spyware* and Web Content Filtering. This is necessary because most legacy firewalls are based on Stateful Packet Inspection technology, and do not have the capabilities to perform the services listed above.
