Review: Multi Network Firewall 2
Mandriva's Multi Network Firewall 2 uses the open source OpenVPN and takes some of the difficulty out of using this approach. We found that the web interface helps make simple steps of creating users and user certificates, which streamlines the process immensely. We liked the organized web interface and found it easy to use.

A network security strategy for the age of terrorism
Just as bacteria evolve around the technological barriers we put in their place, so too do the tactics and strategies employed by computer attackers. When a security measure is put in place, our enemies immediately set out to exploit its weakness. When they are repelled, they adapt their tactics and strategies, regroup and come back yet again.

Hot or not: Network embedded device security threats
Hot: Expect attackers to increasingly target networked, multifunction devices, such as high-end printers, scanners and fax machines, as these devices continue to grow more sophisticated and move away from proprietary operating systems and software.

Review: webNetwork
Although this product is easy to use, it requires a lot of configuration. The main program is set up on a server via a simple-to-use wizard. Once installed, its interface is organized with a clumsy tree menu to the left and a configuration menu on the right. The menus can be confusing and awkward to work with.

Review: AEP Netilla Security Platform
We found this product to be simple to set up and use. The initial configuration is done via a serial connection, using the command line. This includes choosing the device's network and name settings. Once the device has an internet provider, it can then be administrated via the web interface. The web GUI is simple and stripped down, consisting of a main tree menu on the left and a display window on the right. The menu is easy to navigate and quite intuitive.

Review: Caymas 318
Designed for use on the Java platform, Caymas Systems' offering in this category has a web interface called the Launchpad. This is intuitive, easy to navigate and well organised. We had no trouble at all setting up users and creating user access policies. Generally, this appliance boasts the types of features that administrators like. It is easy to set up and maintain and requires little ongoing maintenance once it is in operation.

Review: Connectra
Check Point's appliance allows for both web- and network-based SSL connections via a web browser. It allows users to access information through its own, customisable web portal. The range of applications users can access include web-based applications and resources, shared files and email. The Connectra also incorporates its own intrusion prevention system, which provides extra security.
