Managed appliances: security solutions that do more

What are security appliances?

Security appliances are servers delivering email or web gateway protection through a hardened operating system.

They are intended to be 'plug and play' boxes that:

are quick and simple to install and configure
provide functions that are easy to use
require no manual maintenance or updating

How is a managed appliance different?

A managed appliance is an appliance with a managed service. The vendor manages gateway protection for the administrator, monitoring the appliance and issuing alerts if there's a problem.

Managed appliances not only reduce daily administrative overhead and save time, but they add value in terms of system health monitoring, tracking anomalous traffic behavior and internal help desk support.
