E-mail Anti-Virus Protection.
Computer viruses are one of the leading security threats to Internet-connected networks.
Users can unknowingly download and launch dangerous viruses that can damage data or cause computer crashes. Viruses
can also be used as delivery mechanisms for hacking tools, compromising the security of the network, even if a firewall is
installed. An optional e-mail virus protection subscription utilizes a high-performance, ICSA-tested, anti-virus engine which
checks both incoming and outgoing e-mail for viruses in real-time. Automatic anti-virus updates are downloaded at user-
defined intervals to ensure protection is current. The e-mail anti-virus protection can be easily renewed on an annual basis.

User Authentication.
To increase the level of security, user identity can be verified before access to Internet services is
permitted. The RouteFinder supports authentication at a local user database as well as at external user databases, like
Windows 2000 or Radius server.
Robust, Easy-to-Use Management.
The RouteFinder includes robust management support allowing a network
administrator to securely manage the devices either through a web browser or at the command line. The browser-based
option uses the HTTP or HTTPS protocol, also known as SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) to provide 128-bit encryption to
secure the management session. The command line interface is accessible via SSH (Secure Shell) and supports SCP
(Secure Copy).
Reporting.
The RouteFinder also includes a suite of integrated monitoring and reporting tools that help administrators
troubleshoot the Internet security system and report to management the usage of the Internet. This includes reporting on
system uptime, hardware, and network utilization. HTTP and SMTP proxy reports provide information about any actions
needed to handle virus-infected e-mails. The RouteFinder also disables and logs attempted port scans. In addition, it
provides accounting reports and a self-monitor that sends an e-mail notification of system-level issues.
