Managed Firewall
Part of our Managed Security Services
Developing new business opportunities
and improving efficiency remains fundamental to the success of any
organisation. The internet provides an obvious answer and is
fuelling the adoption of online strategies including retail,
customer services and remote working.
Unfortunately these benefits aren’t
without risk: your always-on connection is not only giving you
access to the internet 24 hours a day but it’s also giving anyone
on the internet access to your network. Strong perimeter security
is the first line of defence for any security solution and a
firewall will help protect you from this catalogue of risks and
given the ever-changing landscape, it makes sense to choose a
managed service rather than look after matters yourself.

Unified Threat Management (UTM)
We use industry leading, award winning
integrated security appliances from Juniper Networks that are
certified to meet industry and market specific standards. In
addition to the core firewall functionality, we are also able to
offer a layered set of security components, supported by best in
class partners to stop inbound and outbound attacks, including:
- Anti-virus, to prevent your network
becoming comprised by spyware, adware and phishing
- Anti-spam, to prevent your email
servers and mailboxes becoming clogged with unsolicited emails
- Web filtering to stop worms, spyware,
trojans and malware entering your network via the internet
- Deep packet inspection in which the
content of communications is checked as well as the headers.
Integrated connectivity
Managed Firewall can be deployed with
our managed data network products such as Managed Internet Access and IPVPN with MPLS, or implemented behind broadband Cable Modem or DSL to meet the lower
bandwidth, lower cost requirements of a home worker or small
office.
