It includes flexible features to monitor and maintain a healthy and secure network, such as e-mail alerts, system log and real-time statistics. These features, along with the ability for firmware upgrade, ensure that your firewall can provide and maintain maximum performance and security for your network.

The DFL-1600 has passed rigorous testing by ICSA Labs, to achieve both Corporate-Level Firewall Certification and IPSec 1.2 Enhanced Certification. These are recognised worlwide as the benchmark for network security industry excellence. Testing is performed against an industry-approved set of criteria and is periodically reviewed to ensure that the vendor has continued to develop a secure product that meets all the criteria. In addition, the DFL-1600 has passed the Virtual Private Network Consortium (VPNC) AES Interoperability test, ensuring that the firewall is generally interoperable with other IPsec systems when using the AES encryption algorithm.
