Clavister today launched Clavister Security Gateway software version 8.4 which includes several important and commonly requested features such as an HTTP Application Layer Gateway with Content Filtering capabilities and Policy Schedules. The essence of the new version is greatly improved TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) by reduced costs for unwanted Internet usage as well as drastically increased overall security throught a comprehensive protection against content-based threats.

Clavister's products has always been much-appreciated for it's scalability, stability and not least the versatitlity. With the latest software release Clavister has refined the award-winning technology by including functionality that adds immense and measurable value for the customer. Included in version 8.4 you will find features like the HTTP Application Layer Gateway with Content Filtering capabilities and protection against content-based threats, SNTP time synchronization, support for GRE tunneling, interface health monitoring among other.

"A chain is never stronger than it's weekest link. This is probably the most basic and fundamental fact in many areas and definitly when it comes to security. This basic fact in combination with the drastically increased number of problems with content-based threats, which consumes large amount of money and resources for companies in all sizes, has lead us to develop a highly advanced HTTP Application Layer Gateway as a remedy to these tribulations," says John Vestberg, Vice President, Technology.

"Combining the Content Filtering capabilities with the Policy Schedules that is included in this software release can very efficiently help enforcing already existing internet usage policies. By restricting the internet usage during working hours most companies will reap important benefits such as increased productivity and lowered bandwidth costs," concludes Peter Johansson, President and CEO of Clavister.
