This enhanced SecureF1rst SGS offering expands on its existing perimeter security features of firewall, IPS, and gateway anti-virus checks, to add new AV signature providers and zero-hour protection of businesses from the latest outbreaks of malware on the web aided by a continuously updated cloud-based filtering database.

TeamF1′s InstanTunnel VPN security suite which includes IPsec, clientless SSL and PPTP VPN options, now offers an additional OmniSSL feature which offers site-to-site SSL VPN tunnels, interoperability with widely available OpenVPN™ servers and clients, as well as a unique mechanism to enable secure access to the LAN behind the router via a “cloud-gateway,” from a user account on OpenVPN’s commercial Access Server.

On the WLAN security side, new wireless intrusion prevention (WIPS) features in the SecureF1rst platform offer the ability to monitor Wi-Fi® traffic for guarding against threats from rogue access points, and protecting businesses by thwarting several common attacks such as “evil twin” and “man-in-the-middle” attacks.

“The landscape of network-based threats is continually evolving and gateway security solutions have to keep up with new levels of sophistication in security attacks,” said Rohit Sukhija, Director of Marketing at TeamF1, Inc. “SMB network users and IT administrators demand comprehensive threat management features traditionally the domain of high-end enterprise equipment. By making new innovative security features available in a pre-integrated solution at an attractive price point, TeamF1 helps SMB networking OEMs rise to the challenge and deliver such devices to the market speedily.”

The new features are available for immediate licensing on SecureF1rst SGS directly from TeamF1, and will also be rolled out to other turnkey solutions in TeamF1′s SecureF1rst family in coming months.

TeamF1′s enhancements in SecureF1rst CGS are built on the modular approach adopted for its platform. The SecureF1rst platform is not only for third-party applications (such as native or OSGi applications on the router), but also for device software extensions on the gateway to be easily developed for meeting key feature requirements for a full spectrum of home gateways. The platform can easily accommodate new revenue-generating opportunities for service providers through addition of geography-specific or ISP-specific requirements, new value-added end-user subscription features, or by enabling different classes of SP or third-party services for Over-The-Top (OTT) applications with logical WANs.

Several key new features being announced on SecureF1rst CGS demonstrate this flexibility including support for VDSL and LTE carriers, multi-PPPoE support for the Japanese and Russian markets. Besides these, a Parental Control subscription feature with cloud-based filtering database, WAN-side VLANs with multi-instance DHCP client on each logical WAN, and mobile apps take advantage of security extensions on the gateway to make available LAN and HAN data remotely in a secure manner.

“We have always been recognized for our strengths in bringing business-class security to SMB, SOHO and home users. These new advancements in our service provider gateway software feature-set are a testament to our willingness to extend this investment in bringing to market the next-generation of managed residential gateways,” said Rohit Sukhija, Director of Marketing at TeamF1, Inc. “From supporting the latest wired and wireless broadband technologies, to leading the pack in terms of deep, certified IPv6 support in our gateways, TeamF1 is pushing the envelope in how triple and quad play services can be delivered to modern homes flexibly and securely.”

“The mobile apps that we have developed are only one example that shows how advanced connectivity and security can be made available to a wider audience when the proper frameworks in place on the device side for such flexibility,” added Prasanna Kondapaneni, Vice President of Application Development at TeamF1, Inc. “With users demanding ways to make ‘local’ data behind your broadband router available on 3G/4G mobile devices, be it home videos, pictures or home monitoring and automation services, our SecureF1rst modular platform with security built-into its DNA makes it easy for TeamF1 and third-parties using its APIs to develop such apps with no fuss.”

The new features are available for immediate licensing on SecureF1rst CGS directly from TeamF1 and two mobile apps F1leShare and F1rstLook are available on Apple devices for demonstration immediately, and are expected to be released in their OEM-branded forms on the Apple App Store and Android Marketplace later in the year.

TeamF1 and zvelo’s joint solution combines extensive coverage of the active websites visited by users with a strong policy management framework and optimized gateway-based caching and network stack integration that offers real-time categorization and detection of new malicious websites, including in-depth, granular categorization of social-networking, blogging and other sites with diverse content. Its real-time content filtering and control for network users offers protection from infected URLs exploiting recently discovered browser and third party plug-in vulnerabilities that spread through emails, social media interactions and web searches.

“With malware threats and so-called zero-hour attacks spreading rapidly when new vulnerabilities are discovered and exploited, even AV-protected business and home networks can fall victim to malicious web content before security holes are patched or AV signatures updated,” said Mukesh Lulla, president of TeamF1, Inc. “Networks today need multiple layers of comprehensive protection against such threats and our partnership with zvelo allows us to offer iron-clad content filtering protection to network users in addition to our active gateway, end-point and cloud based anti-malware detection and intrusion prevention technologies.”

“Simply blocking access to inappropriate porn, adult and other types of websites is no longer a satisfactory level of protection,” said Jeff Finn, CEO of zvelo. “Today’s dynamic web with continuous changes being made to unmoderated websites provides hackers with an ideal environment for increasingly sophisticated exploits using a combination of compromised websites and social engineering tricks. Timely detection of malicious websites, together with content categorization and filtering, is quickly becoming necessary for protecting users from both inappropriate as well as dangerous websites. Our partnership with TeamF1 makes these malicious website detections readily available to end-users by combining our zveloDB solution with TeamF1′s powerful SecureF1rst software modules right at the Internet gateway where such content usually enters the network.”
