Barbedwire Technologies Enhances DP Inspector Multifunction Security Appliances With Free Antivirus and Antispam Licenses Along With Easy Install for Improved Ease of Use
All American Collectibles benefits from the 3 Cornerstones of the DP Inspector: Protect, Manage, and Adapt

Tracy, CA (PRWEB) May 24, 2004 – Barbedwire Technologies Corporation, the emerging value leader in high performance security solutions for medium and enterprise class networks, today announced the launch of the enhanced DP Inspector (pronounced "deep inspector") series of security appliances. The enhancements include an easy quick-install utility, integrated award-winning antivirus by Global Hauri, and integrated antispam, which provides a System Administrator (SA) the ability to architect, deploy, and manage a secure network in about 30 minutes.

The DP Inspector provides a modular approach to the implementation of up to twelve security mechanisms enabling a SA to supplement as well as integrate with their existing security systems. "Our mission is based on a three-fold approach to securing communication networks: Protect, Manage, and Adapt," stated Rocky Aroda, Barbedwire Technologies vp of marketing. "Our enhanced DPI targets customer's needs for deploying a security infrastructure which prevents attacks on communication assets. We have been able to increase the value of our products by adding the highly rated Global Hauri Antivirus engine along with the SpamAssassin Antispam engine without increasing the price of our products. This is a great win for our customers and partners."

"All American Collectibles was an early customer of the new improved DPI100 appliance," said Carlos Castan, Partner at Entel Dataworks, a Barbedwire reseller based in New Jersey, "they are a leading seller of sports artwork and sports collectibles and do much of their business on-line. The Barbedwire DP Inspector provides our customers protection from worms and viruses which could shut down their business and have a significant financial impact for them. The new install utility has made it even easier to deploy and manage the Barbedwire security solution. The upgradeability to add other Barbedwire security features like an IDS or URL filtering, on the fly, really helps our customers adapt to constantly evolving security threats."

Tony Petricello, General Manager agrees, "The Internet has really fueled the growth of our business and has been a nice supplement to our traditional customer base. The mere thought of one of these hackers taking our business down for a day is frightening and would hurt our revenue. It seems like things are only getting worse out there so that when Carlos recommended we beef up our network security, I did not have to think twice. I really like the ability of the Barbedwire appliance to provide so much security from a single management console and when we need to grow and add more features it will adapt with us. It was very affordable as well. I run a business not an IT shop so having Entel Dataworks and the Barbedwire products working for me, makes my job a lot easier."

In addition to the quick-install utility and anti-spam enhancements, the DPI platform integrates Global Hauri's antivirus engine. The ViRobot prevents virus-based attacks as well as proactively detects new threats and repairs files that have been infected. Along with standard file protection, the virus protection engine includes the ability to prevent attacks embedded in compressed files and email resident strains. The system supports an unlimited number of users.

Barbedwire's DP Inspector appliances are available from $1500 and scale up to thousands of users. The DP Inspector includes a firewall, VPN, deep packet filtering technology to automatically prevent threats, antivirus and antispam and may be further upgraded with URL filters, IDS, vulnerability scanner, WiFi security, and a Securtiy Event Management System (SEMS).
