Frequently Asked Questions
Questions? We have answers!
What is a managed firewall?
A managed firewall is a security service in which experts deploy, monitor, maintain, and update firewall infrastructure on behalf of an organization to provide continuous protection against cyber threats.
How does a managed firewall work?
Managed firewalls inspect network traffic, enforce security policies, block threats, monitor activity, and receive ongoing updates from security professionals to maintain protection against emerging risks.
What threats can a managed firewall stop?
Managed firewalls help protect against ransomware, malware, phishing attacks, botnets, unauthorized access attempts, web attacks, and other cyber threats.
What is the difference between a firewall and a managed firewall?
A traditional firewall requires internal management. A managed firewall includes ongoing monitoring, maintenance, updates, policy management, and expert support.
Can a managed firewall help with compliance?
Yes. Managed firewalls provide visibility, policy enforcement, reporting, and security controls that support many regulatory and compliance initiatives.
Do small and mid-sized businesses need managed firewall services?
