Traditionally Internet security and perimeter defences have been the focal point of any IT security strategy. In more recent times firewalls have become more sophisticated employing advanced security mechanisms including identity authentication, encryption, content security and intrusion prevention. Shield IT Solutions are experts at understanding your businesses specific needs and the capabilities of a broad spectrum of products ranging from market leaders such as Cisco, Checkpoint and Juniper, to the latest innovators in the "Cloud" network security arena.
It's all about finding the best fit for a high level of protection that leverages flexibility and budget. For instance your organisation may demand a Firewall solution that has virtual private networks (VPN's) to connect your offices securely across the internet, as well as providing secure access for mobile workers to your company's resources. This can be extended further with high availability (HA) clustering of Firewalls for protection against hardware failure and centralized management and reporting.
Q. Do you feel that for Internet Security you have too many products to manage?
It can be a real headache to some businesses running multiple servers and appliances to control security and adhere to security best practices. With a UTM Solution features such as Firewalling, Web Content Filtering, Anti-Spam, IPS, remote access, and site-to-site VPN can be provided on a single security appliance. We are experienced in deploying best of breed solutions from suppliers including Cyberoam and Fortinet, who have not only integrated all of the better known UTM features, but have extended their firewall protection to include Wi-Fi as well as end-point security agents for remote desktop computers, mobile laptops and smartphones, all of which operate outside the network perimeter.
UTM appliances are simple to manage solutions that can reduce your hardware maintenance and licensing fees, lower your energy consumption and ultimately save you money.
