Managed Firewall

Do you have an in-house specialist as dedicated to preserving security as outsiders are to breaching it?

Managed Firewall

With external pressure pushing 24/7 against your firewall, you want someone working 24/7 to keep it strong. Faced with the relentless probing of would-be intruders, nothing less can maintain an effective defense.

No out-of-the-box firewall is a perfect solution. All require proper configuration. Once configured, the best firewall needs frequent software upgrades and patches, ongoing management, monitoring, and testing by a security professional.

Defense 101: Put a wall at the perimeter. Put a man on the wall. Our Hi-Touch Managed Firewall Services is comprised of two equally vital components—the proper hardware and software acting as a barrier against intrusion, and the security professional who maintains that barrier's selective impermeability. The result provides controlled perimeter access to customer equipment hosted in our data centers.

Our security professionals work with you at every point to implement and maintain the most cost-effective firewall to safeguard your business.
