Managed Firewalls
With our Managed Firewall Service, we are responsible for the configuration, monitoring and support of your firewall. Our technical teams look after the initial setup, the firewall security policy, VPNs, remote access, web filtering and application control. We work with Fortinet, the industry-leading UTM firewall solutions vendor. Our managed firewalls are available as a standalone service or as part of our Managed IT Security or IT Support Services.
Small Business Firewall
A significant amount of cyber attacks target small businesses, which is why many companies should opt for a next-generation firewall instead of a small business router. With firewall features such as antivirus and intrusion prevention systems, a small business firewall from Manx Technology Group offers that extra level of protection.
Fortinet Models : FortiGate 30E, FortiGate 50E or FortiGate 60E
Enterprise Solutions
Enterprise firewall solutions can be used for perimeter security or deployed within the organisation as an internal firewall. With multi-gigabit wire-speed performance, active directory support and the ability to identify and block threats – Fortinet firewalls are the perfect choice for the enterprise.
Fortinet Models : FortiGate 81E, FortiGate 100E, FortiGate 200E
Multi-Site Solutions
If your business has multiple sites or branch offices, we can manage your firewalls across all your offices. With our centralised management platform and SIEM, we can provide full-mesh VPN solutions, policy management, reporting and incident response for your whole network.
Network Security
When it comes to Network Security, the firewall is an essential device in your network. As well as securing access to and from the Internet, Firewalls can also be used to secure your internal systems. When you deploy a firewall within your network, it is known as an internal network firewall.
An internal network firewall can ensure links between offices, departments or business units remain secure. Fortinet is a market leader in both next generation perimeter firewalls and internal network segmentation firewalls.
Who needs a managed firewall service?
The managed firewall service is suitable for small business owners who need a network security solution or for IT managers who wish to outsource the setup, management and monitoring of their firewalls. In both cases, the firewall can be combined with our managed security or IT support services.
