Guía del uso del software UNTANGLE para la gestión de redes privadas dentro de MIPYMES

Abstract

This project aims to propose a solution to protect, control and supervise MIPYMES private networks. In addition, it is addressed to avoid theft of important data, as bank passwords or even high sensitive business information. Untangle software deployment protects networks from threats such as viruses, phishing or spam; moreover, it manages networks by controlling bandwidth, and restricting access to specific pages. This solution provides clear information about network traffic and supervises illicit navigation; for instance, social networks and non-authorized webpages, reducing the probability of information disruption. The following study analyzes the most important features about the application, including network equipment such as switches, routers, and a PC with built-in network cards that aids as a server, from which it is possible to manage the entire system. This project enables the deployment of a network firewall server through a practical, economical and functional solution for a small industry, and the companies interested in protecting their networks and providing effective traffic control. It is based on hardware and software resources to protect the most important information.
