Managed Firewall

Managed Firewall. Computer networks are typically a shared resource used by many applications for various purposes. Often the data transmitted between application processes are confidential, and the application users would prefer that others not be able to read it.

A firewall is a specially programmed router that sits between a site and the rest of the network. A firewall allows the system administrator to implement a security policy in one centralized place.

VPN (virtual private network) for remote working staff

A virtual private network (VPN) is programming that creates a safe, encrypted connection over a less secure network, such as the public internet. A VPN uses tunneling protocols to encrypt data at the sending end and decrypt it at the receiving end. To provide additional security, the originating and receiving network addresses are also encrypted.

VPNs provide remote corporate employees, freelance workers, and business travelers with access to software applications hosted on proprietary networks. To access a restricted resource through a VPN, the user must be authorized to use the VPN app and provide one or more authentication factors, such as a password, security token or biometric data.
