Firewall Monitoring

Using enterprise level monitoring systems we can setup alert notifications of security threats that pass through your hardware firewall. Typically these threats include viruses, malware, automated attempted intrusions and unauthorized login attempts. This monitoring system is also used to notify our team if your business is experiencing an internet problem so we can act quickly to restore connectivity.

The Technology

With automated bots and programs trolling the Internet nonstop trying to penetrate networks it’s important to have a hardened, reliable, secure and effective hardware Firewall to block attacks while allowing legitimate authenticated connections. There are many different qualities of Firewalls ranging from Small Office Home Office (SOHO) models to enterprise level Cisco dedicated Firewalls. Some have VPN technology built-in, or content filtering, website filtering, ActiveX Control filtering, and Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) blocking, In addition to security, the Firewall can also control the data flow in and out of your network prioritizing data protocols to ensure quick and reliable data communication.

Implementation

After a thorough consultation with your business team our technicians can recommend the best Firewall solution meeting your needs and budget. Our team has experience with Firewall brands including Cisco, SonicWALL, and Linksys to list a few. Custom configuration will be programmed to allow your remote workers to access local resources if required but block unauthorized access to the system. Monitoring alerts can also be setup on most Firewalls to alert via email address or SMS of a consistent coordinated attack slowing your business broadband connection so that the issue can be resolved as soon as possible.

Case Study

A new client of Firewall Computer Services based in Orlando had voice-over-IP (VoIP) sound clarity issues during peak network traffic in the morning. Our technicians were able to troubleshoot the problem and quickly find a solution. A new Quality-of-Service (QoS) enabled Firewall/Router was install and configured to prioritize the phone traffic instantly resolving the voice clarity problems. Additional capabilities included real-time network bandwidth monitoring to maximize throughput schedules. We take care of I.T. so you can take care of your business!
