Allied Telesis selects Digital Arts' solution for their next-generation firewalls

Allied Telesis has selected the web filtering solution from Digital Arts for their new series of Next-Generation Firewalls. Digital Arts’ web filtering system works in conjunction with the threat protection technology in the Allied Telesis Next-Generation Firewalls to deliver a highly configurable security solution.

Digital Arts’ web filtering system contains web site information for several major languages in approximately 100 web content categories, including sites optimised for smartphone and protection against malware-based information theft. Their database covers over 3 billion pieces of web content.

“The accuracy and coverage provided by Digital Arts web filtering clearly put it ahead of the other options competing for the web filtering role in our solution,” said Graham Walker, senior product manager at Allied Telesis. “Real-time content filtering is an essential element of our Next-Generation Firewalls. The right candidate for inclusion in our system also needed to deliver performance and manageability. Digital Arts contributes all of this, and more. With this component inside our Next-Generation Firewalls, we know that we have industry-leading technology that delivers comprehensive, high-accuracy protection that is easy to configure.”

“We are seeing considerable demand from customers looking for an integrated solution to secure their online experience. Our Next-Generation Firewalls deliver high-performance, superior security, and provide a cohesive interface for simplified management,” added Seiichiro Sato, director of global product marketing, Allied Telesis.
