Managed Firewall

Companies require network security which is more flexible, scalable, and agile than ever

The proliferation of mobile devices, applications, cloud-based infrastructure, and digitally connected employees are all contributing to a complex environment which is much harder to secure and constantly evolving.

What Is a Managed Firewall?

A managed firewall or firewall as a service (FWaaS), is a solution architected to deliver all the hardware, software, and monitoring as a managed service. According to Gartner, the promise of FWaaS is to provide simpler and more flexible architecture by leveraging centralized policy management, multiple enterprise firewall features and traffic tunneling to partially or fully move security inspections to a cloud infrastructure.

The Risk is Real

60% of organizations go out of business within six months of a cyberattack, according to Inc. Magazine. Hundreds of millions of records containing sensitive information are compromised monthly, putting your network, your devices, and your data under constant risk. The challenges of maintaining network security have increased significantly because the perimeter is no longer well defined and the increasing amount of sophisticated threat vectors.
