Firewalls & VPNs
Businesses of every size face the same conundrum: how do you enable people who work away from your main premises to access the files and information they need without opening your network up to the risk of viruses or unscrupulous hackers?
Staff, customers and key suppliers need to be able to log on from wherever they are, to access emails, files and workgroups in the same way as if they were sitting at your company headquarters - but you need to know that your network is protected at the same time.
This is why Advantage offers combined firewall & VPN services that can deliver optimum accessibility with the highest levels of network protection. And because the services are fully-managed, you can be sure that your network will be available whenever its needed and protected 24/7.
How does it work?
Advantage combined industry-leading, managed firewall and VPN services to deliver high-speed, highly secure, managed remote access that enables authorised people to log in to the company Intranet securely to access the information they need - without opening up the network to unauthorised entry.
Advantage provides a fully-managed firewall service using industry-leading hardware to protect your corporate network for known - and as yet unknown - viruses and to protect from hackers. As part of the service, we work with your organisation to define and establish network access security policies and rules that will keep your network secure. The service automatically monitors for intrusion 24 hours a day, completely blocking any unauthorised attempt at entry outside your network gateway.
Why Advantage?
Advantage works with world-leaders in the provision of VPN and firewall routers, encryption and software, so you can be sure that we will build a solution that is suited to your business needs, not ours.
The gateways to your network are constantly monitored and any unauthorised attempts at entry are instantly blocked outside the network. Our professional network management staff manage every element of the VPN and its security for you, including monitoring network performance and handling aspects such as change management, setting up firewalls, installation and configuration, online reporting, software upgrades and patches and maintenance of your hardware.
