Perimeter Firewall

Firewalls form the core of all security architecture. Whether the firewalls are designed to create a simple trusted, versus untrusted zone model or implement a micro-segmentation model, firewalls are still the primary security control that limits attackers reaching and compromising your valued information assets.
Firewalls Should Provide A Sophisticated Protection Layer

Firewalls must provide more than basic protection and should understand traffic at a protocol and business-use level. To proactively block persistent attackers and manage bandwidth and traffic prioritization, firewalls should integrate with, and enhance authentication systems and be able to integrate with intrusion prevention systems.

A good security strategy should include the use of firewalls and their Next Generation features to discern, detect, prevent and remedy security vulnerabilities.

With organizational data scattered everywhere from on-premise networks, across the cloud to mobile devices, a firewall needs to do far more than create a Trusted and Untrusted network zone and then pass traffic between the two.

Presenting on-premise applications to the Internet and giving your users secure corporate access to any authorized applications, from any device, anywhere, any time
• Providing visibility to how cloud services are being used (authorized and unauthorized) by tracking use of Software as a Service
• Taking advantage of global threat intelligence feeds to stop attackers before they even scan your network
• Defending your applications by blocking attempts to exploit known vulnerabilities.

Trying to implement these features as technical projects without integrating them to a security or IT strategy can lead to ineffective policies and practices.

As a full-service security, consulting firm, we can help you integrate your next generation firewall with other security controls, and align the policies with your business objectives.
