The Kernun family consists of several products that are each useful for a specific set of network security tasks. We will provide a brief introduction to each of them now.
Kernun UTM is a new type of a UTM secure device that contains multiple features, such as firewall, antivirus, antispam, antispyware, content filtering, intrusion detection (IDS or IPS), routing, QoS or VPN, in a single package. It has been designed to protect private data networks and DMZ segments (demilitarized zones, including servers with public services, for example WWW, FTP, mail servers, secure remote VPN connection, etc.). It provides antivirus and antispam protection, as well as an ability to block unsuitable protocols (Skype, ICQ, etc.) and unsuitable Web pages.
Kernun UTM is highly flexible during the process of secure policy implementation. This includes simple rules of status inspection, as well as sophisticated management on the level of application protocols. Thanks to its ability to inspect the contents of each application protocol, this technology is the ideal solution for environments with high security demands.
A typical implementation of the Kernun UTM technology is located on the perimeter of the protected network as a gateway between the Internet and the internal network. All connections to and from the Internet are authorized or prohibited at a central location. Kernun UTM also serves as an antivirus and antispam gateway, and as a server, where VPN connections for clients who work from home or while travelling and of VPN tunnels between branches are terminated. Public service network servers (DMZ) are usually located on another network interface.
