| The Challenge: Defending Your Network
Every business must face the daily challenge of defending their network environment against threats lurking on the Internet. Great network implementation begins with building a solid foundation by establishing a strong firewall between the corporate network and the outside world.
Firewalls only offer rich protection capabilities when expertly configured. Most companies find the wide array of configuration details mind numbing. Network Architects has reviewed configurations for over 1,000 client-installed Cisco devices—over 95% of the devices had been mis-configured, or severely under-configured—resulting in sub-optimal performance, security vulnerabilities, and increased risks.
The Solution
Network Architects offers its Manage360 managed firewall service to address these issues. Manage360 combines remote monitoring tools, management reports, and high-end Cisco-certified network, security and voice engineers into a single outsourced offering.
Manage360 provides a cost-effective support package that makes firewall protection simple to deploy, and painless to maintain. You can rely on our Cisco-certified engineers (CCIE, CCSP, CCNA) to efficiently prepare, operate, and manage a firewall solution tailored to your specific needs.
Features
Manage360 provides many advantages—seamless deployment, predictable monthly costs, access to highly skilled staff, regular maintenance, and insightful management reports.
