InterGate Policy Manager is a Windows software solution for efficient management of internet access, allowing control of web content, P2P, IM and Skype usage. It comes with logging and reporting features of user activity, alongside core IP router and firewall functionalities.
One of the standout features of InterGate Policy Manager is its advanced web filtering capabilities. With this software, you can have complete control over who can see what and when they can see it. Filters can be applied on a per user, per group, or even a per machine basis, and can be effective at specific times of day and/or days of the week. You can intercept, block or allow web site access by category, according to a centrally served IBM-powered database of over 100 million sites in 80 well-organized categories that are updated on a daily basis. Additionally, you can inspect, block or allow the use of Instant Messaging apps (eg AIM, ICQ, Yahoo Messenger, MSN Messenger), P2P apps (eg eDonkey, eMule, Kademlia, BitTorrent, Gnutella (Morpheus, LimeWire), Kazaa) and the Internet telephony app, Skype. If you prefer, you can also create user-defined filters to block or allow access to specific sites, or use protocol filters to block or allow specific types of traffic.
Another notable feature of InterGate Policy Manager is its comprehensive reporting. The intelligence reporting tool displays in graphic detail all Internet activity by user, group, IP address, protocol, web site category and bandwidth usage. It can combine virtually any of these in a custom report that can be viewed at any time for up-to-the-minute network monitoring.
Security is also a top priority with InterGate Policy Manager. The software incorporates a secure level three firewall, using stateful packet inspection, to prevent unauthorized access into the local network from the Internet. In addition, it features industrial strength, high performance TCP / IP Router, DHCP Server, DNS Server, Remote Access Server, Fallback and Connection Teaming capabilities.
Overall, InterGate Policy Manager for Windows is a powerful and feature-rich Internet access management solution that offers unparalleled control and security for your network.
