GeNUScreen takes the initiative: The stateful packet filter monitors the status of network connections. An example: If local computer A requests data from computer B in an external network, GeNUScreen will let the response from B pass to A. However, any attempt by external computer B to establish an unsolicited network connection into computer A's local network is rejected. The firewall always assesses the context of a connection before accepting or terminating it, thus enabling convenient communication with high security. This of course also applies to IPv6 data communication – our solution fully implements this standard.
GeNUScreen with compact industrial hardware
GeNUScreen excels as a bridging firewall. It then acts as a stealth security system easily integrated in the existing infrastructure to protect your Internet access or sensitive key systems, such as SAP or development servers. These invisible firewalls are deployed without changing a single IP address, and are sure to be a nasty surprise for attackers!
Make a phone call over VoIP? Sure! GeNUScreen handles voice data and secures the well-known SIP protocol. As Voice over IP (VoIP) depends on reliable performance, you will benefit from our firewall's sophisticated bandwidth management. Important protocols can be preferred during data transfers, thus reliably reserving bandwidth needed for VoIP.
GeNUScreen can create virtual private networks (VPNs) for the secure transfer of data via public networks. Data traverses the Internet through encrypted connections known as VPN tunnels. This method also securely transfers highly sensitive information between distributed locations, with powerful encryption techniques guaranteeing confidentiality. The GeNUScreen IPsec VPN solution has the official approval of the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) for classification level "restricted". Official public bodies, military units, and contracting companies with access to classified information therefore can safely use the GeNUScreen application to conveniently exchange restricted information via the Internet, with security guaranteed by the German Federal Office for Information Security. However, GeNUScreen is not just for companies in the classified area – any organization will benefit from a high-security VPN appliance approved by an independent organization.
GeNUScreen offers a host of practical benefits for your VPN needs: expertly applied IPsec functions implement large networks with multiple users via a handful of tunnels. Fully meshed high-performance VPNs are available with easy-to-configure settings and low maintenance and computer capacity overhead. GeNUScreen also is capable of SSH VPNs to connect very different networks quickly and efficiently. Unlike other VPN technologies, IP addresses here do not need to be synchronized for secure communication between networks. GeNUScreen receives the data transmitted by the sender, and transfers it via SSH VPN to a second GeNUScreen appliance in the destination network. The data is then securely transmitted to the recipient, irrespective of whether the sender has an IP address from the same subnet. This enables the seamless encrypted integration of new corporate sites, or of customers and partners with IP addresses outside of your administrative reach.

The high quality of the GeNUScreen firewall is proved through certification by the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI). We have decided to certify our product at the challenging Common Criteria (CC) level EAL 4+. This level requires full documentation, source code disclosure, and a complete range of tests. Thus, the customer is guaranteed to have bought a security solution of the highest standard.
GeNUScreen is packaged in a variety of hardware configurations to cater to wide-ranging performance requirements. Clusters handle even greater bandwidth and availability requirements: all of our variants can be bundled as high-performance clusters. GeNUScreen is administered via its own Web-based GUI. Customers using multiple GeNUScreen firewall & VPN appliances or other GeNUA solutions can manage the full range of systems efficiently via the GeNUCenter Central Management Station. GeNUCenter monitors the current status of each system and can be used to efficiently modify and transfer configurations, and apply updates to entire areas. GeNUScreen – minimal outlay, top notch network-wide security.
