Frequently Asked Questions about our Firewall Managed Services
We often receive questions about our managed firewall services so we thought we would clear them up with some helpful FAQs below. Of course, you can also pick the phone up and speak with us as we would be more than happy to help.
What is a management firewall?
It’s a service or solution where the configuration, monitoring, and maintenance of a firewall are outsourced to a third-party provider. A firewall is a network security device that monitors and controls incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predetermined security rules.
What is the difference between managed and unmanaged firewall?
The key difference between a managed and unmanaged firewall lies in the level of control and responsibility. In a managed firewall setup, a third-party service provider or internal team oversees the configuration, monitoring, and maintenance of the firewall. This allows businesses to leverage external expertise, ensuring proactive threat management and regular updates.
On the contrary, an unmanaged firewall places the onus on the organization’s internal IT team for all aspects of firewall management. While providing more control over security policies, an unmanaged firewall requires the organization to handle tasks like monitoring, updates, and incident response internally. The choice often hinges on the organization’s size, resources, and the desired balance between control and external expertise in network security.
Do i need a managed firewall?
Whether you need a managed firewall depends on the size of your business, your IT resources, and your cybersecurity requirements. For small businesses with limited IT expertise, a managed firewall can provide essential protection without the need for an in-house security team, offering a cost-effective and professionally managed solution.
Considerations such as regulatory compliance, scalability needs, budget constraints, and risk tolerance also play a role in the decision. If you prioritize proactive threat detection, lack specialized cybersecurity knowledge, or require a scalable solution, a managed firewall service could be a prudent choice.
What are the benefits of a managed firewall?
A managed firewall provides a robust shield for your network, offering several key benefits. Continuous monitoring and proactive threat detection, it ensure that potential risks are identified and neutralized promptly. The expertise of cybersecurity professionals ensures that your network is managed with the latest security knowledge and technologies.
How firewalls are configured and managed?
Firewalls are configured and managed through a combination of hardware and software settings designed to control and monitor network traffic.
Configuration involves defining rules that dictate which types of traffic are allowed or blocked based on criteria such as IP addresses, ports, and protocols.
This process requires a deep understanding of the organization’s security needs and the network’s architecture. Once configured, firewalls are managed through ongoing monitoring, regular updates, and maintenance tasks.
What is the strongest type of firewall?
Determining the strongest type of firewall depends on various factors, including the specific security needs of an organization. However, one of the most robust forms is the Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW). NGFWs combine traditional firewall capabilities with advanced features such as intrusion prevention, application awareness, and deep packet inspection. They go beyond simple rule-based filtering, offering enhanced protection against sophisticated cyber threats, including malware and application-layer attacks. NGFWs are known for their ability to provide granular control over network traffic, offering a comprehensive and adaptive defense against a wide range of cyber threats, making them a strong choice for organizations seeking advanced security measures.
WHAT IS A ‘NEXT GENERATION FIREWALL’ (NGF)?
A Next Generation Firewall is an application aware firewall that provides deep visibility into network traffic and the ability to provide granular network control and security.
WHAT IS ‘UNIFIED THREAT MANAGEMENT’ (UTM)?
Unified Threat Management is a term used for adding further security engines into the firewall that adds further layers of threat detection and control of potentially malicious network traffic.
WHAT IS INTRUSION DETECTION AND PREVENTION?
An Intrusion detection system (IDS) is a security appliance or UTM module that performs inbound and outbound inspection of network traffic to detect known patterns of malicious traffic, Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) provide detection and blocking of this traffic to block network communication.
WHAT IS A ‘WEB APPLICATION FIREWALL’ (WAF)?
A Web Application Firewall (WAF) is a security appliance or UTM module that provides layer 7 (L7) application protection for hosted web applications that your organisation provides external access to.
