GILBERT, ARIZ., DEC. 13, 2012 – Envoy Data Corporation, a specialty distributor of IT security solutions, today announced a strategic partnership with gateprotect, which produces next generation firewall appliances combining state-of-the-art security and network features in a single unified system.

With solutions for small, medium and large enterprises, as well as small and remote offices, the “Next Generation Firewall Appliances” from gateprotect provide optimal scalability, security and performance.  As the only manufacturer in the world that consistently implements the ISO NORM 9241 directives on ergonomic product design in all its products, gateprotect also offers patented eGUI® (graphical user interface) technology that raises operating security and efficiency to a previously unattained level.

“Our customers tell us that comprehensive security that’s easily implemented is crucial today, and that’s why we’re proud to partner with gateprotect and their ‘Next Generation Firewall Appliances,’” said Jeff Ciraulo, Vice President of Business Development for Envoy Data. “Enterprises small and large will appreciate the process-oriented approach offering enormous time savings through a significant reduction in the number of rules.”

To minimize the risk of operator errors in highly complex security functions, gateprotect’s eGUI technology and Command Center configure and manage firewall systems for managed security service providers (MSSPs), increase security in companies and enable efficient system maintenance. Through this groundbreaking eGUI architecture, gateprotect sets new standards in configuring modern security systems uniting firewalls, bridging, VLAN, single sign-on, traffic shaping, QoS, IPSec/SSL (X.509), IDS/IPS, web filters, virus filters, real-time spam detection, HTTPs proxy, and VPN Crypto acceleration.

“Providing security and productivity at all levels and across all services is what our firewall appliances are all about,” said John Spivey, gateprotect’s Central U.S. Director of Channel Sales. “It’s exciting to bring our full range of innovative firewall products to the American marketplace through Envoy Data’s broad domestic distribution reach.”
