Firewall Security
A firewall is a security device that protects networks by filtering network traffic and blocking unauthorised users from gaining access to data on computers.
Why a Firewall is Essential
Network Security:
It acts as a barrier between your internal network and external threats, preventing unauthorized access.
Data Protection:
Helps safeguard sensitive information from cyber-attacks and data breaches.
Traffic Monitoring:
Monitors and controls incoming and outgoing network traffic based on security rules.
Threat Prevention:
Blocks malicious traffic, such as viruses, worms, and hackers, from entering your network.
Access Control:
Allows you to define who can access different parts of your network, enhancing security.
Compliance:
Helps meet regulatory requirements for data protection and network security.
Performance Management:
Can optimize network performance by blocking unwanted traffic and prioritizing critical applications.
Remote Access Security:
Provides secure access for remote users through VPNs, ensuring data is encrypted and safe.
Key Components of a Firewall
Packet Filtering:
Inspects incoming and outgoing packets and allows or blocks them based on predefined rules.
Proxy Service:
Acts as an intermediary between users and the internet, filtering requests and responses.
Stateful Inspection:
Monitors the state of active connections and makes decisions based on the context of the traffic.
Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW):
Includes advanced features like intrusion prevention, application awareness, and deep packet inspection.
Network Address Translation (NAT):
Hides internal IP addresses by translating them to a single public IP address.
Virtual Private Network (VPN) Support:
Provides secure remote access to the network.

Benefits of Implementing a Firewall
Firewalls provide secure corporate network solutions with scalable managed firewalls that monitor and protect network traffic. Our next-gen firewall ensures optimal network performance, whilst customised to meet your specific business needs.
​
Secure your corporate network:
Traffic coming in and out of your systems create opportunities for threat to penetrate your business operations. With pre-established rules, network firewalls monitor and analyse network traffic, keeping your computers and networks protected.
Speed and operational efficiency:
Our high performing next-gen firewall will ensure that network performance is optimised. This means you do not have to worry about employee productivity, creating a reactive and agile business environment.
​
Scales in line with growth:
Next-gen managed firewalls are scalable. What does that mean? As your business scales and grows, and your network traffic increases, your managed firewall's ability to monitor and analyse network traffic at “wire speed” won't degrade in performance.
​
Modified to your needs:
Firewalls are fully customisable, meaning we can tailor the filters of your firewall to the exact specifications that your business needs.
