The Product
Introduction
Panda GateDefender Performa is a dedicated Secure Content
Management (SCM) hardware device that is deployed at the network
perimeter. It is designed to shield against viruses, Spam and other types
of inappropriate network base content.
In order to accomplish this, the solution includes an Anti-Spam module
to stop unsolicited e-mail that can cause the loss of employee
productivity and can impact upon efficiency. There are also Anti-
Malware capabilities that can protect against differing forms of
malware and potentially unwanted programs. Further to this, there is
Content Filtering that monitors incoming file types, and Web Filtering
that scans the content of web pages. This can perform various
actions based upon category to prevent users from viewing any
sexually explicit or violent content, or any other content deemed
inappropriate.
The appliance provides protocol protection for both incoming and
outgoing traffic, by scanning many of the most commonly used
protocols. These include, amongst others, HTTP, FTP, SMTP, POP3, and
IMAP4. All testing for this Technology report was carried out over the
SMTP protocol.
