Small businesses are usually tight on money for IT and short on IT staffing. This makes small businesses prime targets for today's professional-criminal hackers. MSA2000 and MSA3000 appliances integrate Microsoft ISA Server 2006 security software with Celestix purpose-built security appliance platforms to provide comprehensive network security that is easy to manage and affordable for small business.

Multifunction Gateway for Edge Security

MSA™ model 2000 and 3000 appliances provide the cost-effective multifunction solution for perimeter defense for small-business network environments. Celestix equips MSA appliances with Microsoft ISA Server 2006 software. The result is integrated, multifunction security that includes an effective application-layer firewall, a virtual private network (VPN), and a web cache ready to deploy straight from the box.

Application layer protection

MSA appliances analyze and filter traffic by inspecting data from various applications at the packet level. MSAs inspect and protect: HTTP, File Transfer Protocol (FTP), Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), e-mail, H.323 conferencing, streaming media, RPC, and others.

VPN and IDS

MSA appliances also provide secure remote access for customers, partners, and employees with the integrated IPsec virtual private network (VPN) in ISA 2006. Deploying ISA 2006's intrusion detection (IDS) features, lets administrators identify and react to network attacks.

Anti-Virus

For small businesses that want anti-virus (AV) protection, Celestix offers Kaspersky® AV as an option on MSA appliances. Kaspersky's AV engine delivers one of the highest detection rates available for viruses and other types of malicious programs.

Web Filter

MSA appliances also let administrators add a Websense Web filter to control web access by employees. Websense software lets administrators set policies to restrict websites visited, types of traffic, and user-specific Internet usage on a policy basis.
