Firewall and VPN Solutions

Simply explained, a firewall is a hardware or software solution to keep a business' online data safe, like a lock on a door. Using software, hardware, or a combination of both, a firewall inspects network traffic ensuring only authorized users are permitted to access network and computer resources. A must-have for any computer network.

A VPN or Virtual Private Network is a private data network that uses a public telecommunications infrastructure and the internet to keep costs down but maintains data and information security. Data is securely encrypted and transferred using packets.

Reasons to use a VPN:

• Connect remote users to a corporate network
• Link branch or affiliate offices to an enterprise network, to form an intranet
• Include customers - even partners and suppliers - to form an extranet.

Additionally, a VPN is an integral component to have in a Business Continuity Program. Visit our Product Partners page to learn more.
