Today, organizations rely on highly available and secure computing environments to efficiently and safely conduct business.
Firewalls are a key component of a secure network and must be managed properly to ensure they protect your critical information assets. Firewalls must be configured to allow "good" traffic in and to keep "bad" traffic out. Firewalls must be updated continuously to support changing business requirements such as:
- New VPN users
- Employee status changes
- New partners
- New applications
Firewall management is extremely resource intensive and requires highly skilled implementation.
Because of the effort and complexity involved in configuration, a majority of firewall breaches are caused by the mis-configuration of firewall rules and policies themselves.
