Security vendor eSoft this week plans to announce six gateway intrusion-prevention systems and content-filtering appliances that the company says significantly boost speed and processing power compared with the company's current security models.

The three new models of the InstaGate Integrated Gateway are firewall/VPN IPSs supporting speeds of as much as 750Mbps; they replace the lower-speed InstaGate 305 family, which topped out at a speed of 140Mbps. The three new models of the eSoft ThreatWall Content Security Gateway can filter as many as 75,000 e-mails per hour; they replace current ThreatWall appliances that process as many as 6,500 e-mails per hour.

The InstaGate 404, 604 and 806 models are unified threat management (UTM) devices that combine firewall, IPS, antivirus filtering and other content-filtering options into a single hardware appliance.
