GB-OS 5.0 adds an Intrusion Prevention System to the existing
powerful perimeter security features available in GTA systems.

VPN Enhancements |
|
GB-OS 5.0 strengthens GTAs virtual private network offering with
certificate support, NAT through VPN and keep alives. Now, in
addition to GBAuth, VPN connections can be authenticated utilizing
x.509 certificates for an additional layer of authentication control.
VPN keep alives provide a more stable VPN connections in case of
Internet network disruption or periods of no data packet transmissions.
Remote offices can maintain VPN connections even during periods of
no activity with VPN keep alives, ensuring a continuous consistent
connection.

Automated System Software Updates |
|
With automated system software updates, GB-OS 5.0 simplifies the
task of downloading and applying GB-OS runtime updates to firewall
UTM systems by eliminating the need to manually log into the GTA
Online Support Center. These automated updates reduce the time and
complexity of keeping GB-OS 5.0 up-to-date with patch releases and
version upgrades. System administrators may elect to schedule the
GTA firewall UTM system to check for updates on a regular basis or
to utilize the update feature to retrieve activation codes for
installing optional features such as additional Mobile VPN client
licenses or Mail Sentinel Anti-Virus and Anti-Spam subscriptions.

XML Configuration Export/Import |
|
Exporting firewall configurations is a snap with GB-OS 5.0s XML
format. Exported XML configuration files can be edited offline
for use on GTA Firewall UTM systems or for use with GB Commander
2.0 or other third party version control, reporting and monitoring
applications. Large configuration sections, such as authentication,
can be uploaded to a GTA firewall in XML format.
|
Graphical Configuration Verification Alerts |
|
Long time GTA firewall administrators will welcome the return of
GBAdmin style graphical configuration verification alerts red,
yellow and green lights which indicate whether the firewall UTM
system configuration contains potential errors that may result in
the system not functioning as expected. Especially useful during
initial configuration or configuration modifications, these
verification alerts are active in both live and test modes, so
alerts for possible configuration problems are easily identified.
Just one more way GB-OS 5.0 simplifies the firewall UTM system
configuration.
