WANA (Dec 29) – An Iranian research team has designed an advanced native firewall featuring a user-friendly interface and cutting-edge capabilities, positioning it as a serious contender against foreign products.

 

In today’s world, where information security holds critical importance, the development of indigenous IT products can play a pivotal role in safeguarding and managing organizational networks.

 

Recognizing this growing need, researchers at the University of Isfahan, in collaboration with the Connectivity and Communications Technology Development Center, have successfully designed and implemented a native firewall that promises to secure organizational networks with modern and reliable solutions.

 

A Modern Solution with Advanced Features

Dr. Mojtaba Mahdavi, a professor at the University of Isfahan and the chief designer of the firewall, highlighted its features, stating: “This firewall leverages native communication protocols to enable centralized and integrated network management. By offering comprehensive and diverse solutions, it ensures precise control over network access and enhances security for users.”

 

Dr. Mahdavi elaborated on the primary mission of the firewall, which is to enforce security policies on network traffic and prevent unauthorized intrusions.

 

He also identified challenges faced during its development, such as high implementation costs, limitations in customizing certain features, and the need to block unauthorized access.

 

“To address these challenges, the research team focused on strengthening infrastructure, ensuring service quality, developing robust authentication and access control systems, designing native communication protocols, and advancing encryption algorithms,” he added.

 

User-Friendly and Versatile Design

The firewall’s web-based interface allows users to benefit from advanced functionalities such as customizable dashboards, multi-level access management, and a comprehensive monitoring platform.

 

Dr. Mahdavi emphasized that its innovations, particularly in powerful monitoring capabilities, have significantly enhanced the firewall’s security level. Moreover, its user-friendly interface makes it an ideal choice for organizations.

 

Competitive pricing, combined with the product’s native design and security certifications from authoritative bodies, offers customers a high level of reliability and assurance. Dr. Mahdavi noted, “In the long term, this firewall’s quality and local development make it a strong competitor against similar foreign products.”

 

Strategic Importance for the Market

Given Iran’s unique position in the international landscape and its security policies, products like this firewall have the potential to gain substantial traction in the market.

 

Dr. Mahdavi concluded, “With its unique capabilities, this firewall is ready to become a cornerstone of security for large organizations and critical centers in the country. We anticipate that with increasing attention to cybersecurity from public and private sectors, this firewall will capture a significant share of the market in the coming years.”

 

This innovation not only represents a major step forward in Iran’s technological self-reliance but also showcases the potential for local expertise to create world-class security solutions.
