The Barrier Groups’ Barrier1™ Intelligent Threat Management (ITM) Appliance is Fast Enough For Video
MINNEAPOLIS, MN, 12 April 2008 —
The Barrier Group announces another major breakthrough in network security. Barrier1 is a comprehensive IT security appliance that effectively stops blended threats with only 12.7 milliseconds of latency. This means that Barrier1 is the fastest comprehensive security product on the market — so fast that it can protect voice and video, not just data.
Voice Over Internet Protocol (or VoIP) is a key element in communications of tomorrow. The simultaneous transmission of data, voice and video present daunting security challenges because voice and video require far faster processing speeds than simple data. Latency, or delay caused by software security processing, can cripple a VoIP system. Barrier1 introduces virtually no latency so that it can be used beyond the traditional world of data security.
As an example of video protection, Barrier1 is being used in a major school district to secure video transmissions from video cameras in schools to police stations for continuous monitoring.
“Barrier1 is the next generation of security. Appliances can no longer be one step behind the threat — they must be one very fast step ahead. Our customers ranging from governments and educational institutions to banking and international businesses all validate Barrier1,” said Steve Sahl, Chief Executive Officer of The Barrier Group.
The Barrier1 security appliance is available directly through The Barrier Group. For more information, contact The Barrier Group toll-free at 877-230-6789, or email sales@thebarriergroup.com.
