Introduction for function

Intent to develop OPW

　One Point Wall closely works on various traffics through networks. That is because we immediately have re-developed when finding new threats. In order to be sure the perfect blocks against the various threats on which conventional firewalls could not work, OPW has a unique system which blocks the traffics by judging them separately. We are ready to renew OPW against other threats in the future. For example, OPW will be automatically updated against new virus. Moreover, when other improper traffics appear on networks, the new rules will be developed to OPW.

Threat that conventional firewalls could not block

★Ｐ２Ｐ　★ＶＰＮ　★ＢＢＳ 　★upload　★SMTP　★ＩＭ＆chat　★MMORPG
　First of all, firewalls are preparations for threats from the external networks so it does not pay any attention to traffics from the inside. However, most of leakage of private information is from inside jobs. In addition, it is necessary to make sure all connections which pass through your Network if you need to completely establish compliance against unauthorized traffics which cause defamation and Copyright violation.

P2p file sharing programs

　P2p file sharing programs are innovative and bring troubles into companies or schools as well. Those programs give networks heavier burden and the most files are illegally exchanged. However, unlike virus or attack, conventional firewalls cannot block those exchanges by p2p.　up

Virtual private network (VPN)

　VPN is not only used effectively but also carries serious risks unless well controlled. In fact, VPN is considered as a system that users freely exploit without administrators’ surveillance. This act causes compromised security system as well as lacking morality in employees who join online games during their job time. Even if your network environment is kept in security, there are risks that the network is attacked. For example, client machines infected to virus connect to VPN and have vulnerabilities which are already known. To work on home, employees take secret files or data to outside of office, it gets risk to the leakage. As a means to take customers’ personal information or secret files to the outside, VPN can be abused.　up

ＢＢＳ

　The large internet forums such as 2channel or Gaia Online include many risks as well as useful information. Those risks include exposing secret data which cause slander, whistle, defamation and social hacking. Those contributions sometimes cause a case to court. Thus those contributions should be not accepted to administrators. Furthermore, connecting to those internet forums during job time violates compliance. Although administrators can control to connect those forums as a whole, it also restricts gathering useful information.　up

Upload

　Usually, files attached with Web e-mail is hardly found although our product “Packet Black Hole” can recreate those files. In addition, comparing to emails through provider serves, Web e-mail is easy to use without setup email software. Since administrators rarely know those email’s documents, Web e-mails can be abused with leakage of personal information. OPW can separately block each upload of files with Web e-mail. OPW makes risks lower by blocking files taken out. Furthermore, OPW can restrict images to upload to the internet forums. This can block the spread of secret files and illegal contents. Since OPW can distinguish file types, it is able to block specific files to upload.　up

ＳＭＴＰ

　There was a trouble that an employee mistakenly input customers’ email address as “to” or “cc” but those address essentially should be input as “BCC”. Administrators must hope to block miss sending emails and troubles because of less attention and knowledge. Moreover, OPW can block sending emails with run files. If a machine on your Network is infected with computer virus, OPW check this machine to spread the virus. It becomes unnecessary to pay compensation to the damage of virus by this function. In addition, since administrators receive a notice which emails with virus are blocked, they immediately begin eliminating the computer virus and preventing recurrences.　up

★ＩＭ＆chat

　It is very convenient to have conversation and communication through IM or chatting systems. While on duty, these acts are improper for their companies. At the same time, since these IM services have a function to send files, it can be one of threats for administrators in companies or organizations.
　 If sending messages with files is easy and convenient, people can email with personal information and corporate confidential, sometimes without a sense of guilt. However, in office, it is not necessary to send messages via IM because employees should use their own official email server. OPW feature is a function that is block to email sending with files. OPW also can block ICQ and IRC.up

★ＭＭＯＲＰＧ

　A Massively-Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG) is a type of online role-playing game (RPG) in which a large number of players interact with one another in the virtual world.
　OPW blocks the stage logging in the some major online games. Even though MMORPG is not so hazard to the network security, it is still an issue in business morality. In addition, comparing to other uses of internet connections, MMORPG needs the larger value of traffic. Therefore, it can be trouble in the business.

Web interface

In order to operate OPW, we prepare Web interface to make the modification of setting up easier.

The tool to set up OPW

OPW needs just one setting file. In the case of use as firewall which put between sections, the setting is simple at the attachment of the tool to set up.
