To get a better sense of how Managed Security works, let's look at each service individually.
Managed Firewall Service
The Managed Firewall Service is a hardware-based platform using vulnerability scanning to work both reactively and proactively. When an attack on your system is detected the system reacts to ensure that no unauthorized services are available. Additionally, the system goes proactive on a weekly basis to verify the network is secure. The security system includes daily Web-based firewall reporting with details on bandwidth usage, Web usage, and attack attempts on the location's firewall.
There are two Managed Firewall Service levels:
- Standard Firewall Service — supports outbound connections and services
- Enhanced Firewall Service — allows customer-defined inbound connections to servers behind a firewall; includes unlimited portal modifications
Whichever service you choose, you'll discover ample features:
- Best-in-class firewall security
- Security ASIC for fast firewall performance and throughput
- Enterprise-class protection with ICSA-certified, stateful packet inspection firewall
- Comprehensive reporting on firewall statistics
- Regular vulnerability scans to ensure environment remains secure
