Let's start with the basics: do you know the difference between the firewall and the managed firewall? You probably have an idea of what a firewall is and what it does. Your computer or network system has a firewall that is designed to prevent unauthorised access by allowing external communications. It withholds the bad men, which is good. It can also be used to remove your employees from situations that may pose security or business risks.
If you want to make the most of your firewall, you will also use it as a monitoring tool. It provides useful information as threats that target people and your business. Obviously, monitoring your network requires time-consuming and costly information. A managed firewall service provided by security experts starts working here.
So what does a firewall manage?
A managed firewall is a service that monitors security threats from Qualified Security Service Providers (MSSP) and who generally understands the appearance of your network traffic so that atypical usage can be easily identified and corrected. Security experts who monitor your network provide analysis and reporting as part of a managed firewall suite.
A managed firewall service typically includes:
Application Control - Lock or limit the speed of specific applications or functions to maximise efficiency on any device.
Web Content Filtering - Block access to malicious or conclusive websites by using a threat database that categorizes websites by content.
There are many providers that offer managed firewall services and it can be difficult to know which service is right for your business, especially if you are not familiar with the security product landscape.
