Firewalls

Running your network without a firewall is like having a home without a front door. Appliance, software based, open source and proprietary solutions are available. We will assist in the evaluation, implementation and servicing of your firewall. Today's firewalls integrate additional technology such as IPS, anti-virus, anti-spyware, anti-spam and content filtering technologies to eliminate the management of multiple solutions.

Intrusion Prevention and Detection

Intrusion prevention solutions introduced another method of proactive security to the industry. With the increased network speeds that these solutions can operate at, they are no longer limited to protecting slower WAN links but are increasingly being deployed to protect server farms where network speeds reach multi-gigabit speeds. These devices also provide "virtual patching" which essentially protects your servers while you have the time to fully test patches and service packs that vendors make available.

Email & Web Content Filtering

Gateway firewalls alone cannot protect against the complex malicious code that threatens IT infrastructure. Content filtering solutions complement the traditional firewall by addressing the gaps that these traditional solutions leave behind. Content filtering is available for all traffic that transgresses your network including web, email and instant messaging traffic. These solutions can give you full control of the traffic on your network.

Anti-SPAM

Anti-SPAM solutions come in various shapes and sizes today. Commercial and opensource solutions are both very effective with stopping SPAM. Newer technologies that can identify servers that send SPAM before your server initiates the actual transfer of the SPAM messages, will also assist in controlling the amount of bandwidth that SPAM consumes.
