digiGroup ElipServices™ - Firewall

ElipSecure is a Managed Firewall Security Service

Are you overwhelmed at the prospect of deciding how to secure your computers and network? New security breaches seem to occur weekly, even at Fortune 500 companies with skilled IT staff – how can a smaller company avoid being vulnerable to a data theft incident?

A firewall is the minimum level of protection every company with Internet access simply must have. A managed firewall is even better.

The primary function of a firewall is to implement an access control policy. Think of a firewall as a group of policies, each dictating which traffic is allowed and which is blocked. ElipSecure customers have their firewall access policies implemented and managed by trained technicians who understand vulnerability risks, and can adequately secure your Internet access to be a productivity tool rather than a security risk. Policies may also be configured for traffic going out to the Internet. For example, if you wanted to disallow eBay shopping at work, it is possible to block specific URLs on an outbound basis too.

Vonem Design technicians will configure your firewall access policies based on your individual security objectives and communication needs. By following a process of establishing your security objectives to identify where your risks are, writing policies and then evaluating performance it is possible to fine tune your security profile to best prevent the likelihood of a data breach or security incident.
