Personal Protection Suite

Protection When and Where You Need It Most

MegaPath recognizes the challenges for corporations to mitigate threats against office-based PCs and mobile laptops. Any computer that is connected to the Internet, including a computer on the corporate LAN that uses files from other computers, is at risk of being compromised. As mobile users are accessing the public Internet more frequently and doing so from unsecured LANs and public Wi-Fi Internet hotspots, it's no surprise that the number of attacks have increased exponentially in recent years. Without protection, a compromised user's laptop can infect other computers when connected to the corporate network.

MegaPath's Personal Protection Suite defends your computers and protects your corporate resources from malicious attacks by providing and managing the following layers of security on all the devices that connect to your network:

• Personal Firewall with Intrusion Prevention/Detection
• Virus Prevention
• Spyware Prevention
• Memory Protection

The MegaPath Personal Protection Suite provides you with industry-leading security features and the benefits of a fully managed service. There's no equipment to buy so there are no capital expenses, only a nominal recurring fee. We provide installation, configuration and deployment support, as well as ongoing management and maintenance, including automatic updates. This highly secure, fully managed and integrated solution saves your business time, money and IT resources while reducing the number of threats to your network.

How It Works

The Personal Protection Suite offers an extra layer of defense that complements MegaPath's network-based Managed Security Services to provide comprehensive protection for all your corporate desktops and laptops. Because viruses and other malware can originate not only from the Internet, but also from media such as CD-ROMs and USB drives, MegaPath offers this complete, fully-managed security package that includes network security as well as the Personal Protection Suite. This combination provides the best protection for your network and valuable corporate resources.

Highly Secure

MegaPath's Personal Protection Suite includes a Personal Firewall with intrusion detection and application protection for desktops and laptops. This software blocks unwanted Internet traffic, identifies threats, oversees application execution, and issues automatic updates to a PC if it is not in compliance with a corporate security policy. The MegaPath Personal Firewall Service protects the user's PC at all times, whether connected to an unsecured Internet connection or to the corporate LAN or VPN.

The Personal Protection Suite also includes virus and spyware prevention. Complimentary to traditional, signature-based anti-virus technology, the Personal Protection Suite's virus and spyware prevention service uses a behavior analysis method to prevent known and new viruses, Trojan, worms and spyware.

In the event a desktop does get exposed to malware, the Personal Protection Suite includes memory protection. This service protects the desktop from buffer overflow attacks against known and unknown memory buffer vulnerabilities, protecting the device from losing critical data.

Fully Managed

MegaPath understands that supporting several remote users or thousands of users is a daunting task. MegaPath deploys, manages and updates a company's Personal Protection Suite clients. Whether it is customized anti-virus integration, VPN client integration, changing firewall settings or supporting a customer's end user population, MegaPath handles the configuration and management of the Personal Protection Suite to provide the best protection for your resources.

Comprehensive Protection

For mobile workers, MegaPath's Personal Protection Suite is most effective when integrated with MegaPath's other Mobility and Security Services such as Managed SSL VPN, Global Remote Access Service, and Digital Certificates. These solutions provide a comprehensive access, security and VPN solution for your mobile workers. Digital Certificates can also be integrated into the solution to provide strong authentication. MegaPath's ability to integrate various desktop security applications and your ability to manage them centrally via the MegaPath Customer Portal eases the security burden on your IT staff.
