As the entry point to internal networks, firewalls need to provide protection from unauthorised access and mitigate the risk associated with intrusion, data loss and system integrity whilst still providing the ability to communicate and collaborate. As attacks evolve to evade the protection of traditional firewalls, businesses need security solutions that safely enable business applications.

En2 managed firewall services are the first line of defense against malicious attacks; providing advanced application level security for networking, threat prevention and management whilst delivering predictable performance, greater customer control and significant cost efficiencies.

The Managed Firewall Service is based on a robust, scalable platform which offers two major capabilities:

1) Delivery of virtual firewalls – these are software firewalls running on large, shared appliance(s). They have the same functionality as hardware firewalls, but they are more flexible, much faster to deploy, and typically more competitively priced than dedicated hardware firewalls.

2) A management and reporting platform that simplifies delivery and support; it also provides customers useful information via an on-line portal. This information enables customers to:

• View configuration, policy, objects and profiles

• Access real-time analytic dashboard

• Access near-real-time log view (eg application and attack)

• Access and trigger pre-defined reports

• Make configuration changes
