Business challenges
- How do I get the best value from the security devices I have invested in?
- Do I have the expertise within my team to actively monitor and manage the firewalls implemented to secure my network and IT assets?
- What are the best practices in managing policies and monitoring of firewalls?
- How do I reduce operational expenses in maintaining my security infrastructure and also ensure best-in-class management?
Firewalls play a crucial role in preventing harmful traffic from entering the trusted areas of your network. An in-depth information security strategy demands that you implement different types of firewalls in different segments of your network. However managing, monitoring and consistently applying best practices on such a large and diverse set of firewalls can be a tedious and resource intensive process. Therefore, many leading enterprises are increasingly outsourcing the monitoring and management of firewalls. It helps them reduce the burden on their in-house staff, to get best-in-class service from experts and reduce operating expenses over time.
