Calyptix Security, a provider of network security devices for small and medium businesses, has unveiled the addition of three new models to its flagship product, AccessEnforcer, a unified threat management device that protects SMB networks from threats such as hackers and spam.
“The new AccessEnforcer models make it easier for our partners to deliver faster and safer network security to their larger clients. They also position Calyptix to further improve the security we provide to our partners in the future,” says Ben Yarbrough, CEO, Calyptix Security.
The new AccessEnforcer UTM devices include the AE2400, AE3400, and AE4400:†

“AccessEnforcer can now protect networks up to 40 percent larger than before with our newest model. This reflects the needs of the SMB market, which has networks that continue to grow in size and complexity,” says Yarbrough.
Each standard AccessEnforcer is rated with a recommended maximum number of users or active connections it is designed to support. Customers are not limited by licensing on standard models and can exceed the recommendation if they choose, states the company, although network performance may suffer.
Service plans for the new models follow the same terms for all standard AccessEnforcer UTM firewalls. Standard features include automatic security updates, automatic firmware updates, email filtering, web filtering, VPN, automatic reporting, intrusion detection and prevention, and more.
In the coming months, Calyptix plans to upgrade the AccessEnforcer operating system to a 64-bit version. Calyptix partners who buy one of the new AccessEnforcer models will automatically receive the 64-bit upgrade when it becomes available in early 2016.
