Unified Gateway Security for the SMB – Without Compromises

Viruses and malware hosted on Web pages, email phishing attacks, spam, virus infested emails, 

and other threats are now all part of a regular repertoire of sophisticated blended attacks that 

bypass traditional firewalls with ease. Small businesses have been the ones most seriously 

affected as small businesses, unlike their enterprise counterparts, often lack the time and 

resources to fully harden and secure their networks from these threats.
Moreover, such threats have signaled a change in the threat landscape: previously, threats to 

small businesses could largely be considered “push” type threats wherein hackers specifically 

targeted small businesses – a relatively rare occurrence given the prevalence of larger and 

richer targets in the medium and large business space. However, the advent of Web 2.0 

technologies and cloud computing has largely shifted the threat landscape to one characterized 

largely by “pull” attacks wherein end users use Web 2.0 and cloud computing technologies to 

“pull” threats into the organization.
Because comprehensive network security solutions require an abundance of processing power 

to examine network traffic in real time, existing SMB all-in-one security solutions often use 

rudimentary security technologies that trade comprehensiveness for speed. True security  

must satisfy the requirements in both speed and coverage.

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

     

All-in-one Network Security Without Compromise

 

NETGEAR ProSecure Unified Threat Management (UTM) Appliances combine performance with 

comprehensive security coverage. Patent-pending Stream Scanning Technology enables the 

use of an extensive virus and malware database while maintaining a high level of throughput 

and minimizing scanning induced latency. The flexible modular software design architecture 

leverages patent-pending Stream Scanning technology to scan files and data streams up 

to 5x faster than conventional methods. This architecture in turn enables ProSecure UTM to 

utilize virus and malware threat databases from NETGEAR and Sophos™ that are hundreds of 

thousands of signatures in size  - up to 200x more comprehensive than legacy small business 

UTM platforms. This architecture, combined with best-of-breed hybrid in-the-cloud Web filter 

and anti-spam technologies and with proven NETGEAR firewall and VPN functionality, form the 

ideal SMB gateway security solution. 

 

 

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

    Revolutionary Stream Scanning Platform  

Given the high performance requirements of scanning latency sensitive Web traffic, 

incorporating enterprise-grade security software technologies onto traditional SMB all-in-one 

platforms has been a very difficult task. That is why the NETGEAR ProSecure UTM features 

patent-pending Stream Scanning Technology which analyses data streams as they enter the 

network. The NETGEAR Stream Scanning approach is many times faster than that of more 

traditional batch-based scanning methods where the entire file is buffered before it is scanned.
