Sawmill 7.0 Clavister Enabled provides a highly scalable, browser-based, firewall analysis and reporting solution representing excellent value for money for this market-leading high performance product.

”The growing demand from firewall users for an affordable scalable browser-based firewall analysis and reporting solution convinced us to start a search for a third-party product able to fullfill all of our customer’s requirements. After careful and exhaustive research we asked The Sawmill to work with us to tailor the already successful Sawmill product to satisfy the specific needs of the Clavister Security Gateway. Following a period of active co-operation we are happy to announce the availability of Sawmill 7.0 Clavister Enabled, a product that represents an ideal and indispensable complement to Clavister products” says Niccolò Galimberti, Country Manager for Clavister in Italy.

Having a firewall installation without any means of monitoring the traffic via the firewall or the utilization of bandwidth by users is like building a motorway without any means of monitoring the speed or the quantity of the traffic, and without monitoring there can be no enforcement or management. Sawmill provides the intelligence to security managers quickly and accurately, and at low cost, enabling coherent security policies to be implemented throughout the enterprise. “We are very pleased to be working closely with Clavister providing our unique solution to Clavister users around the world” says Les Ferrington CEO of The Sawmill Limited.

In December 2004 Clavister Firewall was for the fourth consecutive time named ‘Best in Test’ by leading Nordic Networking magazine, the Swedish edition of IDG / Network & Communication. Previously, other European publications have named Clavister Best in Test, Best New technology, just to mention a few of the awards for Clavister’s advanced security technology.
