Network Services » Firewalls

The introduction of high-speed Internet access through new broadband technologies has changed the way people conduct business, at home and at their place of work.

High speed Internet access has made many activities easier and more accessible, from online shopping and global information, to email, messaging and remote working - all only a few clicks away.

However, this speed and convenience has a negative side - Viruses and Trojans now traverse the Internet resulting in systems being overwhelmed or vulnerable to hijack if left unprotected. Hackers can now utilise the increase in available bandwidth to scan for unprotected systems, quickly identifying and exploiting any vulnerabilities.

Fortunately there are tools to combat these problems.

The use of new firewall technologies can prevent unwanted intrusion to your internal network. From host based solutions to dedicated hardware, these systems allow your approved traffic to pass safely whilst discarding any unwanted traffic.

Having years of experience in this field, Network Elements Ltd can design and implement a security perimeter for your network infrastructure, protecting your network from all unwanted traffic. We achieve this by analysing your internal and external application flows and can advise on a security profile for your system.

But what if you already have a firewall?

If you do not understand TCP, UDP, port numbers and traffic flows - a badly configured firewall can still let through an attacker. To counter this Network Elements can also provide a managed firewall solution for your business, ensuring that only the traffic you require is permitted into your network
