Grandstream GCC-Security 1 Year Update
The Grandstream GCC Security 1-Year Update extends security-update coverage for compatible Grandstream GCC convergence devices, helping businesses keep their next-generation firewall protection current as new threats, malware signatures, intrusion patterns, and application definitions emerge. The plan supports the advanced security services built into the GCC platform, including anti-malware, IDS/IPS, application identification and control, web filtering, and SSL traffic inspection.
Designed for organizations that want to maintain current GCC firewall protection after their existing update period, the one-year plan keeps supported security and signature libraries eligible for ongoing updates. It works with compatible GCC601x and GCC602x convergence devices and helps maintain the effectiveness of the firewall's threat-detection, content-control, and intrusion-prevention capabilities without replacing the existing GCC hardware.
Key Features
- 1-Year Security Update: Extends firewall security-update coverage for one year on a compatible Grandstream GCC convergence device.
- Anti-Malware Updates: Helps keep the GCC anti-malware engine and virus signature library current as new threats are identified.
- IDS/IPS Protection: Supports updated intrusion detection and prevention signatures used to identify and block malicious network activity.
- Application Identification: Maintains access to current application-identification and application-filtering signatures used by the GCC firewall.
- Web Security: Supports GCC content-control functions such as web URL filtering, URL-category filtering, keyword filtering, and related signature-based controls.
- SSL Proxy Support: Works with the GCC firewall's SSL inspection capabilities so supported security functions can inspect encrypted traffic when properly configured.
- Threat Defense: Complements built-in GCC protections including DoS defense, spoofing defense, botnet protection, and other firewall security functions.
- No Hardware Replacement: Updates the security service associated with an existing compatible GCC appliance rather than providing a new firewall device.
Applications & Use Cases
- GCC Firewall Renewals: Extends security-update coverage when an existing GCC firewall update period needs to be renewed.
- Business Networks: Helps businesses maintain current threat signatures for GCC appliances protecting office networks and connected endpoints.
- MSP Deployments: Provides a straightforward one-year renewal option for service providers maintaining supported Grandstream GCC installations.
- Multi-Service GCC Environments: Helps maintain the security layer of GCC deployments that combine routing, networking, unified communications, and firewall functionality.
- Threat & Content Control: Supports environments using anti-malware, IDS/IPS, application control, web filtering, and SSL inspection to manage network security.

- After Expiration: The firewall remains operational using its existing configuration and last-installed security signatures, but new firewall security updates are no longer received until coverage is renewed.
Compatibility & Buying Information
- Exact Plan: GCC-SECURITY-1H is the one-year security-update option for compatible Grandstream GCC firewall deployments.
- Compatible Devices: Grandstream currently identifies the GCC6010, GCC6010W, GCC6011, GCC6020, and GCC6021 as supported GCC firewall platforms.
- Renewal Use: Grandstream provides an initial one-year firewall-service trial when the service is first activated. After that period, an update plan can be used to continue receiving firewall security updates.
- Security Updates: Active coverage is important for receiving newer anti-malware, IDS/IPS, application, web-security, and related signature updates as Grandstream releases them.
- If Coverage Expires: The GCC firewall does not stop functioning. Existing firewall rules, NAT settings, filtering configuration, and the last-installed signatures remain available, but new firewall security signature updates stop until the service is renewed.
