iNetSec keeps networks secure from external threats and internal breaches, such as viruses and P2P software, by enforcing security measures on desktops and laptops. iNetSec is deployed virtually over VMware, making it highly reliable, scalable and simple to implement without the need to change existing network designs or purchase new hardware. Once implemented, iNetSec is easy to maintain, featuring automated security policy settings, making it free of human error and requiring minimal administrative resources and costs.
