Background

Joe Abell handles network administrative duties for Net Tango. Net Tango’s network has two WAN connections, one cable and one DSL, both of which are connected to a single NETGEAR VPN Firewall (FVX538) and then to a 24 port Gigabit switch. There are 20 internal users on the network that generate Web, FTP, and email traffic.

Net Tango’s email infrastructure is hosted outside of the internal network by their ISP. However, their ISP lacked effective spam filtering which resulted in a productivity problem - thousands of spam in user mailboxes.

Moreover, despite having desktop security software installed on every computer, malware infections on user machines were not uncommon. Net Tango needed a security solution which would solve both their malware and spam problems.
