Web administration and why web technologies will prevail

I am sometimes asked why Kerio replaced native client administration consoles with an exclusively web administration approach, which is perhaps seen as one of the more controversial decisions we have made in the past. As web technologies continued to mature, we anticipated a wider industry trend towards shifting user interfaces to the browser. Let me give you a quick peek at Kerio's long-term web development strategy.

UTM - not just for the enterprise

With our new update to Kerio Control, I want to take a moment to discuss why businesses of all sizes should invest in Unified Threat Management to protect their networks instead of some low cost internet router with firewalling capabilities.

Introducing Kerio Control 7.2: UTM + QoS

With the new release of Kerio Control, many people will talk about how our implementation of QoS is simple yet so powerful. Some may note that traffic shaping can be managed with the same elegant GUI that we have been fine-tuning for eight years. Some may wonder why other UTM's QoS controls are so complicated. Others may ask, why is QoS included in a UTM at all?

Why the Magic Behind Kerio Web Filter Makes Your Network Much More Secure

An Interview with Jeff Finn, CEO of zvelo

You have the firewall that blocks incoming viruses, worms and spyware. However, if you are not utilizing web filtering, your IT security solution is not complete.

We recently had the opportunity to speak with Jeff Finn, CEO of zvelo, which is a Kerio Technologies partner that provides the web categorization services used in the Kerio Web Filter.

Kerio Control, the ESXi-est firewall on the planet

One of the unique things about Kerio Control is that since it is a software firewall, it can be deployed in a virtual environment, which is something I can't do with appliance based firewalls. But the coolest part is now that it is available in OVF format, it is now easier than ever to import into my existing Vmware environment. It isn’t necessary to download anything, just copy the URL and paste it into the vSphere client.

Introducing Kerio Control 7

On June 1, 2010, Kerio Technologies introduced Kerio Control 7, the latest evolution of Kerio’s gateway security product line. Kerio Control 7 ships with a new IDS/IPS service and is the most flexible version of the product ever – allowing customers to choose between running their UTM as a Windows server product, as a hardened Linux software appliance, or as a VMware virtual appliance.

Kerio unveils new anti-virus partner, Sophos

Technology partnerships are key to delivering high quality, competitive products and services, and this is especially true in the information security industry. Expertise in a given area is developed over years at great expense, and it often makes more sense to acquire proven technology rather than try to build it. Such is the case with anti-virus, a critical component of Unified Threat Management solutions.

Kerio StaR: Does the Internet seem slow today?

If you're a network administrator, probably you've heard this question at some point in your career, if not every other day.

Recently on our network here in San Jose we had to lay down some rules, the hard way.
