Hamburg, Germany, February 17, 2012 – gateProtect responds to two key challenges: how to deal with the explosive growth in network data traffic, and how to fulfill increasing security requirements. Large enterprises in particular are finding that existing protection systems are reaching their limits, as they cannot keep pace with the increasing mobility of staff and the range of different mobile devices they use. Against this backdrop, gateProtect’s GPZ-5000 Next-Generation Firewall Appliance is designed to meet the most demanding requirements in terms of throughput, flexibility and failsafe performance.
“Making ‘managing trust’ the keynote theme of this year’s CeBIT is only logical,” comments Dr. Peter Smeets, CEO of gateProtect. “Protection against cyber threats is becoming increasingly important and this is becoming a big challenge for companies. We’re receiving a lot more enquiries from large enterprises now and have responded by developing a larger model of the GPZ 2500 firewall range, called the GPZ 5000. This will be a focal point of our presence at this year’s CeBIT, and we’ll also be showing solutions for the midmarket as well as Version 9.1 of our next-generation firewall. With the eGUI graphical interface and the Command Center administration platform, we also provide the right tools to enable companies to ‘Manage Trust’, reflecting the CeBIT theme in a practical way. We’re looking forward to some interesting discussions with current and future customers as well as partners.”
