As the Internet has evolved into a medium of choice for most companies to communicate, the security risks have grown accordingly. Most organizations now provide network access via the Internet to mobile employees, partners, suppliers and customers; this creates security loopholes for others with ill intent to leverage. Firewalls establish strong perimeter security; however, it also becomes the focal point of attack. For a company to effectively secure critical information, it takes more than adding the latest security hardware and software.

As part of our Managed Security Services portfolio, Internap offers a firewall that is configured, managed and updated on a regular basis.
