Product Overview

AdminForce Powerwall 3 goes far beyond the simple firewall protection that has till now been the industry norm. A sophisticated firewall is simply where the AdminForce Powerwall 3 Network Security System protection starts.

Our Intrusion Monitor is a critical offensive element found exclusively with The AdminForce Powerwall.

The Powerwall 3 Installation is automated and remotely installed. This and more is included in The Powerwall 3. The reduced internal IT requirements are designed to meet the budget of small to medium sized businesses.

The development strength of AdminForce engineering staff has produced a product that combines new levels of sophisticated protection with a network security system and pricing structure unheard of previously for this level of network security.
