Subpico CAT stops malware from entering and exiting your network

In a report produced by Verizon in April 2018, ransomware was listed as the top variety of malicious software (malware), with attacks doubling in number every year. Email continues to be the main entry point with 96% coming through inboxes. With CAT installed, if a malicious email is clicked on, CAT will stop the malware from connecting out to it's server, preventing the ransomware from downloading. This can only be done using TFE Subpico technology as a hardware appliance stopping malware coming in and going out of your network.

Frequently asked questions

1How can I test if my network is safe?
You can test whether your network is safe and reliable by performing an online penetration test with a reputable site. We have a few examples of these on our Security Page under Test Tools. There are a variety of penetration tools out there, some are free and some require a subscription. We recommend you have Windows Defender running, or something similar, when you run any security test.
2What is the difference between bandwidth and speed?
Imagine your internet connection as a water pipe. The amount of water (data) you can push through your pipe is the same as bandwidth. Speed is the rate of flow of data through this pipe. The optimum is where you have the most speed and the most bandwidth. Typically speed will be determined by your connection. Bandwidth can be improved by CAT removing your pest traffic which would otherwise be stealing it. CAT acts like a filter so only your data is filling up the bandwidth.
3Do I need to reset CAT if there is a power cut?
No, CAT automatically resets itself when power is applied.
4Is there support if I'm not sure of something?
You can call the number at the bottom of our website if you need help with CAT.
5Are there any annual registration fees?
At this stage, Subpico CAT has no ongoing registration fee. You pay once and CAT automatically updates daily.
6Does CAT prevent or identify threats?
CAT instantly removes threats before they reach your network. Also, CAT can give a record of these dropped threats if required. Access to this internal reporting can only be retrieved through your CAT, and is not passed though the internet.
7What networks does CAT support?
We support all networks. Being a specialised telecommunications device, Subpico CAT can operate effectively on any WAN network including ADSL2+, VDSL, 10GFibre, Cable Broadband and 3G, 4G/LTE and GSM.
8How does it work?

The network ports on CAT carry traffic to clean. These ports work outside of the operating system for speed and security. Cleaning this traffic is a combination of both firmware and software processing. Traffic is mapped directly onto CPU and memory buses for pipelined and optimized processing. It is important to understand that these ports have no IP address or OS and therefore cannot be used to create or terminate IP traffic. Software signatures are optimized with hyperscan technology, and are updated daily. Firmware memory for direct hardware access are locally maintained with security hashes. In this way, Subpico CAT effectively works as a high speed switch between ports with hardware optimised processing. CAT requires access to a DHCP server or router for updates.

As explained above, CAT cleans internet traffic but has no direct access to the internet. All traffic must go through the cleaning process including signature updates, no exceptions.

Subpico CAT is the only security solution in the world that cannot be 'fingerprinted'.

9Can we connect a network switch on a CAT port?
Yes, however this may circumvent the security provided by CAT on a per port basis. If a host is infected, it may spread via the switch. It is recommended some planning of devices be made before connecting. Our typical architecture for SME is to connect the internal wi-fi LAN router to one port, and the cable LAN to another port on CAT. In this way, mobile devices moving in and out of the network (such as laptops, phones etc.) can be quarantined to a security segment/port on CAT.

  • We have installed a subpico-Cat device weeks ago and are pleased to report that we have not experienced any harmful applications and we have also experienced an increase in internet speed of 12-15% as an added bonus as well.

    The recent installation of an automatic updating feature is also more efficient and comforting that this will take place automatically.

    The installation and service to date has been excellent.
