Watson's gateway security suite includes comprehensive and robust security ser-

vices: Stateful Packet Inspection Firewall, user authentication protocols and pass-

word protection mechanisms. These features together allow users to connect their

computers to the Internet and simultaneously be protected from the security threats

of the Internet. The firewall has been pre-configured to provide optimum security.

Watson's firewall provides provides a managed, professional level of network secu-

rity while enabling the safe use of interactive applications.

Additional features, including surfing restrictions and access control, can also be

easily configured locally by the user through a user-friendly Web-based interface,

or remotely by a service provider. The Watson firewall supports advanced filtering,

designed to allow comprehensive control over the firewall's behavior. You can de-

fine specific input and output rules, control the order of logically similar sets of rules

and make a distinction between rules that apply to WAN and LAN network devices.

The Firewall service includes the following management screens:
