Keeping up with the latest Security Threats can be time-consuming and prone to slipping down the priority list.
Yet the key to getting the most out of your firewall investment is ongoing management, monitoring and configuration. Security analysts estimate that 80% of firewalls fail due to incorrect configuration thereby exposing your business to potentially expensive and embarrassing security breaches.
With that in mind, Blue Connections’ very own Security Operation Centre (SOC) are there to help. Using the latest event management and logging tools, Blue Connections have full visibility of your network. Attacks, user activity, application and web site usage is monitored at all times.
In order to ensure that using a service provider does not add to your security worries, Blue Connections has invested in the following:
Manned by skilled security engineer.
With accreditation from Cisco, Fortinet, Palo Alto Networks and Sophos which has been tested for vulnerabilities and compatibility to ensure that they are fit for purpose and integrates seamlessly with our access and hosting solutions.
To meet your wider requirements – a firewall is just one small component of a sound company security policy. To ensure that no area is left exposed, Blue Connections can advise on a number of additional services as well as inputting into your security policy.
A managed firewall is essential for any organisation who wants to protect its valuable company data but has limited in-house resources to do this.
It is also ideal for organisations that want to divert the IT team away from routine management tasks. Managed firewalls are designed to work for all organisations – irrespective of size or industry sector.
Without the need to invest in an in-house team.
The managed solution is on leased equipment over the period of the contract.
We proactively monitor for threats and incidents 24×7, so that you can concentrate on growing your business with the assurance that your business is not about to be brought to a standstill through ineffective firewalls.
Enable them to work with the rest of the business to deploy solutions, control costs and increase productivity. Allow them to focus on their core objectives rather than frantically reconfiguring firewalls to meet the latest threats after they have already occurred.
