Protector 22 Firmware release

Protector 22 – June 2013

-‐ Vulnerability Scanner The Vulnerability Scanner is the biggest improvement of this firmware. With this new feature, you can assess the vulnerability of your network with a few clicks and get a detailed report of vulnerabilities and the solution to remove them.

To start a new scan, simply click on New Vulnerability Scan in the new Vuln-‐Scanner menu. This will open a new window, where you can enter the list of IPs that you want to scan.

You can perform a scan of any IP in the same subnet of the Protector. Your gateway/router will automatically be excluded from the scan.

The Protector’s subnet can be chosen with a single click. Otherwise, you can enter any IP or range of IPs in the entry field.

Once the IPs have been added, this button will start the scan immediately. On the home page you have an

indicator of the Vulnerability Scanner running, but if you want more information, you can go to the List of Vulnerability Scans, which you can find in the Vuln-‐Scanner menu.

On the list that appears, click on the Scan ID.



This will display the list of IPs the Protector is scanning.

When the scan is complete, you can get a PDF report with the scan results, through the icons in the column Options.

The Protector can perform the vulnerability scan of several IPs at the same time. The number of parallel scans is given by the number of users in your license.

-‐ New Charts To increase the monitoring capabilities of the Protector, we have added a number of charts, available through the home page. The new charts are:

• CPU load history last 60 minutes • CPU load history last 24 hours • Emails received last 60 minutes • Spam received last 60 minutes • Length of incoming mail queue last 60 minutes • Length of incoming mail queue last 24 hours



All new charts scroll automatically to the left, showing at any moment, the most recent period.

The charts to display on the home page can be configured through Setup – Home Page Charts in the Advanced Menu.

The charts are now displayed in a separate, highlighted box.

When you download the new firmware, a popup window will remind you about the new charts and will provide a direct link to the setup page. When you click on the link in the popup, it won’t be shown any more.



-‐ Anti-‐Spam charts It’s now possible to display charts on the Anti-‐Spam login page. This function is available through the Anti-‐Spam menu and will open the Charts setup page, where you can choose the charts to display on the Anti-‐Spam login page.

-‐ Anti-‐Spam users By default, users with an email in the domains managed by the Protector, can create an Anti-‐Spam account by themselves, by just clicking the link in the Anti-‐Spam login page. Now it’s possible to deny users to create

accounts with this new function, available in the E-‐Mail Configuration, in the Advanced Menu.



Disable TLS support

By default, the SMTP server will use TLS support whenever possible. However, there are some MTAs that don't properly implement TLS. To be able to send to (or receive from) those MTAs, it is necessary to disable TLS.

The function to enable / disable the Protector’s TLS support is available in the E-‐Mail Configuration, in the Advanced Menu.

TLS Support is enabled by default on the Protector.

-‐ And… Webfilter, when blocking access to a page, will display the category of the blocked website

New option to define the minimum required score for an email to be blocked as MCP.

Usability: New icons in the System Messages, new popup messages, new Active/Not active icon and Days remaining in the License Information box. Easy License Activation.

Disclaimer: New checkbox to allow to send information to SecPoint to improve the vulnerability scanner and for statistics purpose.

Unit Initialization: Added a checksum to the Unit ID, to allow a check on user input when initializing a unit. Automatic download of the new license on unit initialization.

Reset Unit ID will reset disclaimer to all users.

Fixed back button in the Antispam pages, which was not working after an email export.

Fixed Greylist, which failed to start if the list contains only hostnames and no email addresses

Fixed a Mailscanner crash on older units when making a firmware update
