Grandstream GCC Firewall Security Update Plan, GCC6000 Series

Overview

The Grandstream GCC Firewall Security Update Plan keeps the firewall built into a GCC6000 series convergence device up to date against new malware, intrusions and risky websites. It covers the GCC6010, GCC6010W, GCC6011, GCC6020 and GCC6021, and suits a business that relies on its GCC as the office firewall and wants its anti-malware, intrusion detection and prevention (IDS/IPS) and web filtering to keep recognising new threats after the free trial ends. The same plan comes on a 1-year, a 3-year or a Lifetime term.

Is it right for you?

• Suits any GCC6000 series device used as the office firewall, once the 1-year free trial that starts at activation of the firewall service has run out.
• Without an active plan the firewall keeps working, but its signature library stays at the last update, so new threats are no longer recognised.
• Choose the term by how long you expect to keep the device and whether you want a yearly renewal to manage.

Choosing your term

• 1-Year: one year of updates, renewed yearly.
• 3-Year: three years of updates, so there is no yearly renewal to remember.
• Lifetime: updates until one year after the product’s official end of life, with no renewal.

Key features

• Anti-malware protection updates, delivered daily.
• IDS/IPS signature updates monthly and DPI (deep packet inspection) updates weekly, so intrusion detection keeps up with new attack patterns.
• Application identification and control, so specific apps can be allowed or blocked.
• Advanced web security with URL categorisation updates monthly, for filtering risky websites.
• Email security has been announced by Grandstream but is not yet available.

What else you need

• A Grandstream GCC6000 series convergence device: GCC6010, GCC6010W, GCC6011, GCC6020 or GCC6021, with the firewall service activated.
• An internet connection, since the signature updates download to the device.

Installation

There is nothing to fit. The plan is a digital service plan applied to the specific GCC device by your installer or IT team, after which the signature updates download to the device.

Software and licences

One plan per GCC device. Lifetime means the plan ends one year after the product’s official end of life.

Before you buy

• This is a digital service plan with no physical item. It is applied to the specific GCC device, and activation is confirmed on your quotation.
• A 1-year free trial runs from activation of the firewall service, so check when yours ends before buying.
• Email security is announced but not yet available, so do not count on it.
