Firewall Implementations

Ven Systems implement a robust and secure range of custom firewall solutions from the reputable industry leading companies CISCO, Draytek and Sonicwall for secure Network Security, Site to Site, Teleworker, Server and Email connections.  Our goal is to protect your network inside and out, making sure that only the network traffic you desire is communicated between your network devices and the outside world in a secure and locked down environment.  

As long as the internet has existed, it has acted as a double edged sword, serving the world with communication and collaboration, but at the same time used by malicious individuals and criminals as a threat to those that use it.  

As much as you may question yourself as to why you should invest in a hardware Firewall, you should perhaps be questioning yourself as why you're leaving your company wide open to attacks from billions of devices spread across the planet.  There are too many threats that demand this protection to list, here are some of the main reasons:

  1. VEN Systems preferred firewall systems are built specifically as proactive, protective systems that sit between your internal network, Local Area Network and the internet.  Many companies have routers that have limited firewalls built into them, are much cheaper in comparison and do not offer the same protection as a full blown hardware firewall system.  Hardware firewalls offer far more resilience than cheaper routers and are also capable of implementing the following services; port blocking and detection, antivirus scanning, trojan and malware scanning, multiple site to site VPN and IPSEC connections, anti spam scanning, website content filtering, load balancing (between two or more internet connections), DHCP, network address translation and much more.
  2. Since firewalls are dedicated units, they not only take the strain off servers and routers from performing the same roles, they are consideralbly faster in their operation.  Hardware firewall operating systems are streamlined to do specific tasks and thus carry them out far more efficiently than a software solution used to do the same task, and need far less maintenance than a software equivalent residing on a server.
  3. As these units are hardware and have far more stringent security measures than a simple router, they are less likely to be compromised since they are a dedicated unit.
  4. Most importantly, VEN Systems realises the financial and productive gains in running a secure network speak for themselves. Fewer malicious outbreaks on your company's network, intelligently filtered email and reduced internet misuse by your workforce leads to less disruption to your working day caused by Viruses, Trojans, Malware, Syware, Adware, Spam Email and other security breaches and a smoother operation helping everyone to do a better job .
