For the last five years, iShield has been helping hundreds of South African businesses protect their network, utilise their Internet resources more efficiently and improve their employee productivity by limiting time on unproductive online activities.

The 4th version, officially launched in April 2011, provides these benefits and infinitely more.  With the Infinity Shield platform residing on new hardware, control of one’s network becomes even faster and more reliable.

User-based logins and traffic routing, individual- user throttling, automated reporting, an online help facility and a totally revamped interface are only some of the benefits you can expect from the Infinity Shield.

Infinity Shield will be offered in Lite, Pro and Enterprise product options to ensure scalability for any organisational size or budget. Pricing from R150 per month guarantees that the Infinity Shield is a cost-effective solution for SMEs.

And being locally developed and supported means that the team is strategically placed to provide comprehensive support and service to its clients and resellers.

Says one client: “Since installing the iShield we have achieved maximum productivity from all our staff with the user-friendly website filtering and bandwidth monitoring features.”

Infinity Shield is supported by an extensive reseller programme, which forms mutually beneficial relationships with resellers by adding value to their existing client services.

“Infinity Shield is an ideal solution for resellers who are interested in offering superior Internet management to their clients,” says Ken Gilford, Infinity Shield Product Manager.

Infinity Shield will be showcased at the Infosecurity Europe Expo from the 19th to the 21st of April 2011.

Since first being released 5 years ago to the South African market, iShield has been exceptionally well received amongst the reseller channel and SME end users.

Today, iShield is considered one of South Africa’s premium Internet Management Tools combining multifunction firewall features with Unified Threat Management and a mail server.

Ken Gilford, iShield Product Manager says, “iShield was originally designed to meet the two primary Internet needs that SME’s have: bandwidth cost control and network protection. However, continuous product development has ensured that the product now offers an extensive range of benefits to add value to our clients and our partners’ clients, with the latest developments focusing on training and partner support.”

iShield allows users to:
• remotely monitor Internet usage enabling management of resources on a real-time basis.
• monitor emails by setting size limits per user, scan all incoming and outgoing mail for viruses and automatically add disclaimers to prevent your company from legal ramifications.
• restrict users from accessing web sites for personal use, eg. Face Book, You Tube, Gaming, Banking, etc. and thus improve productivity.
• generate web-based Internet usage reports and hold staff accountable for excessive bandwidth usage.

Being locally developed and supported guarantees that iShield is a cost effective solution for SME’s and that the team is strategically placed to provide comprehensive support and customer services to its clients and partners.

The iShield Lite and Pro solutions have been designed to be scalable and to suit any organisational size or budget.

iShield is supported by an extensive partner programme which forms mutually beneficial relationships with partners by adding value to their existing client services. “iShield is an ideal solution for resellers who are interested in offering a superior Internet management tool to their client base,” says Gilford.

Says one partner, “We have been using iShield for the past 4 years. We install it at all our contract clients and would never be able to provide the quality of service we do without it. We can remotely access our clients’ sites to provide real-time, proactive support. The bandwidth monitoring and the ability to set user limits, together with the constant product development has seen iShield growing into the most superior, user-friendly Internet Management Tool I have ever used.”

iShield has been successfully exported to other countries in Africa including Ghana, DRC, Mozambique and Kenya and is now well positioned to be launched in Europe and the States.
