The Internet,
like any other society, is plagued
with the kind of jerks who enjoy the
electronic equivalent of writing on
other people's walls with spraypaint,
tearing their mailboxes off, or just
sitting in the street blowing their
car horns. Some people try to get
real work done over the Internet,
and others have sensitive or proprietary
data they must protect. Usually, a
firewall's purpose is to keep the
jerks out of your network while still
letting you get your job done.
Many traditional-style
corporations and data centers have
computing security policies and practices
that must be followed. In a case where
a company's policies dictate how data
must be protected, a firewall is very
important, since it is the embodiment
of the corporate policy. Frequently,
the hardest part of hooking to the
Internet, if you're a large company,
is not justifying the expense or effort,
but convincing management that it's
safe to do so. A firewall provides
not only real security--it often plays
an important role as a security blanket
for management.
We have selected
two world class firewalls that we
believe best fit our customers needs.
Then we gained the highest possible
levels of accreditation in order to
offer the very best by way of support
to our customers.
