Dashboard
Would you like to know what is happening in your network? Just open
the new Endian Dashboard and you‘ll have access to all your most
critical network information at a glance! The live graphs will give you
a bird’s eye view of the network activity, system resources, applica-
tion-level proxies, system updates and much more. With the Endian
Dashboard you‘ll get a quick overview of your network with detailed,
real-time information presented through an eye-catching and highly
functional interface.

Quality of Service and Bandwidth Management

Endian recognized the importance and value our users place on ha-
ving a fully-configurable and advanced QoS system and with 2.3 it
has finally arrived! The QoS module has been completely redesigned
to offer an advanced Quality of Service and Bandwidth Management
solution for your Endian UTM Appliance. Now you can define the
bandwidth of each network interface and manage incoming and out-
going traffic, define bandwidth classes, rules based on network zones,
IP/MAC addresses, source/destination ports and more. Managing
the bandwidth of your network has never been so easy and flexible.
It‘s time to take back control of your network traffic!

Intrusion Prevention System

Powered by Snort, the leading open source intrusion detection and
prevention engine, it‘s now possible to configure individual actions
per rule to allow, drop, or log packets based on any of the Snort
signatures. Your Endian UTM Appliance will prevent intrusions as well
as provide valuable historical log information. With Endian 2.3 you
can now unleash the full potential of Snort.

Group-based content filtering and enhanced Web Security

The HTTP proxy has been completely redesigned with a more polis-
hed web interface. It‘s also been significantly enhanced to become
a fully-functional web filtering firewall. With the new functionality, it is
now possible to create extremely powerful content filtering rules based
on a variety of HTTP related information including: network zones,
authentication groups (Active Directory, LDAP, or RADIUS), source/
destination IP and/or MAC, day and time, and more. All of this makes
the Endian 2.3 release the ultimate tool for web security.

Enhanced Network Address Translation (NAT)

The entire NAT user interface has been redesigned and is even more
powerful than before. Now it‘s possible to add port forwards from
any zone (previously only from the RED zone) and define extremely
powerful rules for access control in a single step. You can even disable
NAT for certain sources, zones or protocols and very complex network
environments can be implemented with just a few clicks.

Traffic-based Hotspot tickets and automatic user generation

It is now possible to add traffic-based tickets (in addition to time-based
tickets), that enables billing and accounting of users based on the
amount of traffic of each session. With the new Endian Hotspot user
generation tool you can automate the serialized creation of users. Just
select the username generation method and how many users you want
to create, the system will do the rest!

Event handling and notification

Each Endian subsystem or application can be configured to automatically notify the system administrator by email for any number of prede-
fined events, making it easier than ever to proactively react to network-related malfunctions or performance issues.

SNMP support has been added which allows administrators to easily keep control of their Endian Appliances with almost any of the centra-
lized monitoring tools available on the market.

Revamped Mail Security

The web interface of the SMTP proxy has been overhauled with a
focus on increased usability, making it even easier and more flexible
to manage the mail security of your network.

Sophos Anti-Virus (optional)

Now it‘s possible to use the leading commercial Sophos Anti-Virus
engine as an alternative to the open source ClamAV. This module is
optional and you have the choice to select your preferred antivirus
engine.

Commtouch RPD (optional)

This optional module offers the Commtouch RPD engine as an alterna-
tive or addition to Spamassassin, dramatically increasing the Spam
catch rate. This real-time, fully-automated messaging security solution,
based on Recurrent Pattern Detection and GlobalView technologies to
block spam, phishing and malware, enabling service providers and
security vendors to reduce costs, attract new customers and enhance
their competitive offerings.
