Managed Firewall

“A Firewall is only as secure as the policy that is installed on it.”

Firewalls offer essential perimeter security for your connection to the internet, or internally between networks if necessary. They inspect traffic and permit or deny access based on a set of rules.

But if those rules don’t suit your organisation, the firewall may be worse than useless and give you a very false sense of security.

You need to understand how a particular firewall operates and the potential threats you face. Armed with this knowledge you can then design, build and test a policy that suits your business.

Few organisations have specialists with the knowledge or experience to undertake these tasks and all too often firewalls are set with simple default policy rule sets which allow all outbound traffic unless it is specifically blocked. This can lead to notoriously insecure networks. Only once you have understood the flow of information within a network can a suitable firewall policy be devised.
