Equant Offers Outbound Option for Network Based Internet Gateway

Equant announced a unique outbound option for customers using its network-based gateway for providing Internet access to their global VPNs. The service provides a means for accessing the public Internet without exposing the VPNs to undue security risk. With the addition, Equant now offers two Network Based Internet Gateway configurations: Premium and Basic Outbound. The Premium tier is a bi-directional Internet service for larger sites where both inbound and outbound Internet access is required. It provides customizable security policy to and from the Internet, even for remote access employees using an IPSec connection. The new Basic Outbound tier allows Internet connections only from within the customer VPN out to the Internet without being routed via central corporate firewalls. It provides protocol filtering in hardware using multi-gigabit processors.
