What is a NetPilot & What Does NetPilot Do?

NetPilot is an all-in-one appliance that provides Internet and E-Mail access, Anti Virus Protection, E-Mail SPAM Filtering and Controls User Web Access.

NetPilot can also make your computer network more accessible for home-based and mobile employees, while at the same time protecting the core network from a range of security threats and preventing sensitive data leaking out of the organisation

NetPilot will allow you to control employee web access, by restricting access to specific websites and website categories e.g. Facebook / Social Networking, in addition to controlling when employees can access the internet via time bands.

NetPilot provides company wide Web & E-Mail Anti Virus Protection.  All emails transmitted and received by NetPilot are scanned; this includes all internal e-mail, not just sent to/from the Internet Service Provider.

Viruses can also be carried via downloads and by browsing web pages that contain viruses. This means that before a user can download a file or access a page, NetPilot virus scans the content prior to the user being prompted to save the file or view the page.

When NetPilot is implemented within a network that has an existing Anti Virus solution, it compliments this and adds a second layer of defence.  In fact, if your Internet Service Provider, is also scanning e-mails for viruses – you’ll have three lines of protection, which is highly recommended!

NetPilot also provides E-Mail SPAM Filtering, whereby employers can prevent user’s mailboxes being swamped with SPAM and Junk E-Mail.  E-Mail Filtering, allows you to content filter e-mails for keywords, key phrases on all e-mail that are sent / received, whilst also allowing you to block specific e-mail addresses / domains and certain file types being received e.g. mp3.

The ability to work remotely – whether you are in a remote office, on the road or home, is now a common need for employers.  NetPilot allows users to securely connect to the corporate network via secure VPN (Virtual Private Network) connections, whilst also enabling secure mobile communications for e-mails via SSL VPN.

NetPilot’s secure, accredited firewall, will also ensure that you are connected to the Internet, safe in the knowledge that your network accessed by unauthorised users

What are the benefits and how will a NetPilot benefit my company?

NetPilot will protect your network from unforeseen security threats, which could lead to your network becoming infected with viruses and spam, if you are not already protected against this.

NetPilot helps ensure that your employees do not waste time ‘cyber slacking’ during working hours, by browsing the Internet for personal or social reasons.  This increases productivity of the employee, whilst the employer benefits in the knowledge, that their employees are not wasting time on the Internet.
