About GTA Firewalls
Global Technology Associates, Inc. (GTA) has been designing and building
Internet firewalls since 1994. In 1996, GTA developed the first truly
affordable commercial-grade firewall, the GNAT Box
®
. Since then, ICSA-
certified GNAT Box System Software has become the engine that drives all
GTA hardware appliance and software firewall systems.
