Celestix Announces Taurus Anti-Virus F1400 Appliance Integrating F-Secure Anti-Virus for Firewall Software

Easy to Use, Anti-Virus Appliance Ensures Superior Email and Internet Security for the Medium-Size Business to the Enterprise

FREMONT, CA -- (June 3, 2002) Celestix Networks, Inc., the premier developer of ready-to-deploy server appliance solutions, and F-Secure, the leading provider of centrally managed security solutions, today introduced the Taurus Anti-Virus F1400 Appliance fully integrating F-Secures Anti-Virus for Firewalls. Taurus Anti-Virus F1400 ensures that viruses and malicious code hidden in email, web and file transfers are detected and disinfected at the gateway before passing through the firewall.
In about 15 minutes, even non-technical users can have Taurus Anti-Virus F1400 up and running, providing users with entirely secure Internet and email access. Because it detects and provides enterprise protection at the gateway level, viruses are stopped before the chance of compromise to corporate security.
Taurus Anti-Virus F1400 scans traffic seamlessly through Check Point Software Technologies (NASDAQ: CHKP) VPN-1®/FireWall-1® and most other Content Vectoring Protocols (CVP) compliant firewalls. Virus searches are performed in real-time as data is transferred, making it impossible for end-users to bypass or disable the corporate firewall.
We are very excited about the Taurus Anti-Virus F1400, as it tightly integrates with the Check Points VPN-1/FireWall-1 and provides world-class F-Secure anti-virus protection for our clients," said Umar Hameed, vice president of strategic alliances at Celestix. Taurus Anti-Virus automatically scans HTTP, FTP and SMTP and stops malicious viruses at the gateway before they enter the companys infrastructure."

Instead of examining and disinfecting individual desktops, enterprises need to be protected from malicious code at the point of entrance, the firewall," said Fred Fondriest, director of business development at F-Secure. This gateway protection is core to our strategy, and is personified by
Celestix's leading-edge appliance solutions. We are delighted to be partnering with Celestix, it's a win-win for our companies and our customers."

Installation is as easy as flipping through the LCD menus to answer a few questions. Taurus Anti-Virus F1400 can be managed locally from the Web-based interface, as well as centrally by the administrator or service provider.
