Firewall service

The firewall is the basis of the information security of the company's information network

Without a firewall, your company's internal network or production network may be vulnerable to cyber attacks or other threatening activities. The firewall service limits the traffic passing through it and checks that there is nothing harmful in the traffic. This can also mean traffic from the internal network to the outside. The firewall service contains advanced features to protect your data from data theft.

The firewall service is easy to use and does not require IT personnel from the company to be responsible for maintaining the devices. The firewall service maintained by our experts takes care of data security for you.

With the help of the firewall service, you get up-to-date information security

Firewall services include up-to-date software and constantly updated malware tags, ensuring continuous protection of devices. They are an integral part of the company's information security, protecting data and equipment from external threats.

Intelligent firewalls offer a wide range of functions, such as anti-malware, intrusion prevention, application management and reporting, and they continuously learn about network traffic and behavior to respond quickly and effectively to new threats.

The firewall prevents network attacks

A modern firewall utilizes a cloud-based architecture, allowing firewalls to be integrated with other cloud services, such as cloud analytics and cloud security.

Application-based communication management is a feature of the firewall that allows you to examine the content of the traffic. This can mean identifying malicious features in traffic with an IDS, or limiting bandwidth to something reasonable. In this case, we can also talk about content control. Web category-based content filtering gives e.g. a classification for internet pages that prevents going to harmful pages.

Work mobility offers companies opportunities, but with them also come information security challenges. The intelligent firewall service also identifies infected devices and is able to block their traffic. The cleanliness of the internal network is very important in terms of business continuity.

Firewall service VPN and strong authentication

Strong authentication comes into question especially in connections coming from outside the intranet. A secure VPN connection is used for these. The firewall service has a built-in two-step identification, i.e. 2FA, through which the firewall supports modern mobile authentication.

This authentication method is also called multi-factor authentication (MFA), which is easy to use these days, so the password does not necessarily have to be cryptic. These features create opportunities for highly secure remote work.

Data network segmentation using a switch

Firewall service usually implemented with a combination of a firewall and a switch. The switch thus expands the ports of the firewall and enables easy control. The switch can be segmented into several different data networks, i.e. different VLAN networks. In this way, the risks of different types of users can be minimized and users can be divided into different information security levels. Users are only given the necessary access, which makes it harder for malware to spread in the local network.

Reportage

The firewall service includes comprehensive reportage. The reporting tool can be used to monitor, for example, the bandwidth consumption of mobile destinations. The report shows how network traffic is distributed between different services.
