Kerio Control

Firewall and UTM with VPN, web filtering, IDS and traffic control for SMEs.

"For SMEs and branch sites needing consolidated gateway security, VPN and traffic controls where IT resource is limited."

Control and secure the network perimeter and traffic

Many small and medium-sized organisations lack a single gateway that enforces access controls, filters web and application traffic, inspects for intrusions and maintains reliable site connectivity. That gap leads to unmanaged user access, bandwidth contention and higher exposure to network-borne malware.

Kerio Control provides firewalling, IDS/IPS, web and application filtering, VPN connectivity, traffic shaping and reporting. It also offers link load balancing and an AI-driven Shield Matrix to block malicious IPs, giving operational teams visibility and controls at the network edge.

Where Kerio Control is used

Common uses include securing the internet perimeter, enforcing acceptable web and app use, and protecting networks from intrusion and malware. Teams also deploy it to link offices with site-to-site VPNs and to manage bandwidth and multi-link internet resilience.
