Calyptix Security, a provider of network security tools for small business, has added a new feature to its flagship product, AccessEnforcer UTM firewall. The Network Troubleshooter is designed to help administrators save time and effort when diagnosing and solving problems on small business networks.
The new feature comes as part of the latest firmware release for the AccessEnforcer UTM Firewall (version 3.1.18). With the click of a button, the troubleshooter runs more than 70 network tests, each checking the status of a network service and/or a configuration setting on the device. According to the company, the test takes between 20 and 40 seconds to complete and provides a detailed results list for each test.
“The Troubleshooter tests more than 70 services and settings and shows you their status. If something is wrong, then you get more information and a link to solve the problem. It’s an amazing tool for any busy MSP or VAR technician because it helps them spend less time managing and securing small business networks,” says Ben Yarbrough, CEO, Calyptix Security.
Some of the items tested by the Network Troubleshooter include Web filtering Quality of Service (QoS), email filtering, network interface controllers (NICs), external hostname resolution, DHCP, virtual private network (VPN), intrusion detection and prevention (IDS/IPS), and DNS resolution.
The feature is included with standard service for AccessEnforcer (all network security features are included with standard service).
“The Network Troubleshooter is a huge time-saver for network admins who need to diagnose and solve problems fast. Our promise is to make small business network security easier, and today’s announcement helps us achieve that goal. Network management does not get much easier than a single click,” adds Yarbrough.
