1 Introduction
Kerio Control provides a combination of Unified Treat Management and Next-Generation firewall which helps you to
protect, manage and monitor your network and users' behavior.
Kerio Control, as a Unified Threat Management solution, preserves the integrity of your servers with deep packet
inspection and advanced network routing capabilities, including simultaneous IPv4 and IPv6 support. You can create
inbound and outbound traffic policies, restrict communication by specific URL, application, traffic type, content category
and time of day.
IPS adds a transparent layer of network protection, with Snort-based behavior analysis, and a regularly updated database
of rules and blacklisted IP addresses from Emerging Threats.
The optional anti-virus service scans all web and FTP traffic, email attachments and downloads, automatically updating
itself with the latest virus definitions. Kerio Antivirus allows you to keep viruses, worms, trojans and spyware from infesting
your network.
The optional Kerio Control Web Filter with application awareness limits legal liability, protects your network and boosts
user productivity by limiting user access to dangerous or inappropriate sites or those that just plain waste time.
You can easily prioritize and monitor network traffic to guarantee high-speed transmission for the most important traffic
types. Internet Link Load Balancing optimizes Internet access by distributing traffic across multiple links. Kerio Control
monitors link availability.
Kerio Control QoS gives you control over how much bandwidth each type of network traffic can consume.
You can get detailed usage reporting with Kerio Control Statistics. This component lets managers and admins view the
Internet and application activities of individual users.
With Kerio Control VPN or industry-standard IPsec/L2TP, you can link headquarters to remote users and branch offices.
The Kerio Control web based administration is clean and simple, and you can upgrade to the latest version automatically
or manually with just one click.
Kerio Control supports flexible deployment. You can opt for a software appliance, a virtual machine, or a performance-
optimized hardware appliance. Remote deployment of hardware appliances is easier and faster than ever before with
self-provisioning through https://go.gfi.com/?pageid=ControlMyKerio.
