SMEs in general is likely not full-time IT manager, so non-professionals need to manage IT systems themselves. And they may not have sufficient resources or expertise to ensure that the IT system capable of defending against viruses, hackers, privacy controls and the threat. Some may feel that need not worry because the company has only less than 10 sets of computers.
But this is not the right idea, because then small business may also be subject to Internet threats. Only that a security breach can make the company's business interruption. Staff may not work, the customer can not obtain the required information, business income may be affected, the data may be lost, stolen or damaged. What is more worrying is that today's threat may come from any channel - internal or external wired or wireless network.

Live together in such a large network of the Internet under the equal sharing of information at the same time with small and medium enterprises as enterprises with large-scale network applications have similar needs and face the same security threats. To meet the challenges of network security, enterprises often use a variety of network hardware devices, including firewalls, routers, adapters, remote access equipment. Complexity of most corporate networks, these networks need all of these devices to ensure the correct routing and providing fast and reliable network performance. In the basis of the hardware, combined with a variety of software solutions such as virus protection, intrusion detection (IDS), VPN gateway and content filtering (such as URL filtering), to form a regular network security solutions.
VPN, anti-virus software, IDS, IPS, firewalls and a variety of network equipment for small businesses, this is a daunting list. So the investment has shrunk, IT management diminished circumstances, small businesses can buy low-end firewall, antivirus personal edition, SOHO-class router, access layer switches and other equipment, the investment many results are not satisfactory. These devices not only increase the complexity of network management and fault rates, and low-end entry-level security products to protect small businesses is not enough to fully protect critical assets, security products can not be piled between the simple access to a unified security policy, functional imperfect security products will not be able respond to attacks from the intensified mixed.
However, small businesses now have another option - build a simple and fully functional network. It is the versatility of equipment to replace the complexity of network structure to the overall security strategy to unify the fragmented security measures. Simple network, multi-function devices has created the ideal small business network status. This integration of equipment to small business into a new era - in order to protect small businesses a simple network, security must be multi-vendor network security technologies in one affordable and easy to use solution into .
Security protection, firewall or security gateway is essential, but as IDS, IPS and anti-virus software and other technology can help detect threats and prevent these threats into the network and cause serious damage. To further protect the private network, companies often deploy a variety of network anti-virus tools to prevent viruses, worms, Trojan horses and other threats.
The reliability of protection in addition to preventing threats, small businesses also need to ensure their Internet connection is always available. Internet connection redundancy in the event of network outages or ISP failure to provide uninterrupted connections.
In the remote office protection, virtual private network (VPN) has become the core of most network security plan components. Through a VPN client, remote users can use the public Internet connection (such as the Home Office in the DSL line) to establish the safety of the tunnel leading to the corporate network. In addition, the wireless scheme can allow enterprises to completely shake off the shackles of cable, more and more small businesses began to deploy secure wireless solution for mobile office.
These features can be said to include the most advanced network security and small business applications. Specifically designed for small businesses SGS 300 Series is such an easy to use integrated network security solution that not only has the above functions, but also can provide only enterprise-class security gateway can provide the powerful processing capabilities and advanced function. These functions can be tightly integrated interoperable protected, and only a small amount of additional license fees.
