San Jose, CA, October 14, 2014 - Today Kerio Technologies released Kerio Control 8.4, plugging four of the most glaring gaps in network defense: HTTPS, Wi-Fi, guest access, and IPv6. Kerio Control 8.4 makes it simpler than ever for small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) to strengthen their network security with minimal effort.

"Security is hard, and gets harder every day. The network perimeter changes all the time," said Scott Schreiman, CEO of Kerio Technologies, "There will always be new on-ramps and risks. Kerio gets out in front and makes it possible for SMBs to deal with these changes effectively."

Kerio Control's new HTTPS content filtering plugs the biggest hole in the network perimeter. Cybercriminals are actively using SSL to conceal and deliver viruses and other threats into networks over secure connections. Kerio Control now makes it dead easy for businesses to stop these threats at the perimeter by simply applying their existing content filters to secure HTTPS traffic with a single click.

With the boom in Wi-Fi and BYOD, businesses must provide their employees and guests secure network access. But shared WPA passwords are ineffective, leaving the network vulnerable to malicious attacks. Kerio Control 8.4's new RADIUS server integration uses otherwise complex enterprise technology and makes it easy for even the smallest businesses to enforce proper authentication, and strong password policies, on their Wi-Fi networks.

Kerio Control 8.4 also provides license-free network access for guests. Businesses can buy one access point and leave it wide open for all guests. Meanwhile Kerio Control isolates guest traffic from internal network resources, keeping vital company assets and systems clear from inadvertent guest access.

Businesses worldwide are rapidly adopting IPv6 -- exposing yet another crack in the network perimeter. IPv6 is complicated and hard to use until now. With Kerio Control 8.4, simply create your traffic rules, choose which rules to apply to IPv6, and it just works. No extra effort required.

Kerio Control 8.4 is available for immediate download with a 30-day unrestricted trial license. Kerio Control server software licenses start at $265 USD. Kerio Control Box hardware appliances start at $895 USD. Visit http://www.kerio.com/control for more information.
