Next-Generation Firewall (NGFWs)
As businesses continues to Go-Digital, there is a need for a stronger reliance on Software as a Service (SaaS) applications which exposes more businesses especially the Small and Medium Enterprises to cybersecurity threats that resides within the cloud.
In the past, firewalls were an all encompassing defense mechanism against external cyber attacks however, with an increasing complexities and frequencies of attacks from both inside and outside of the system, such firewalls are no longer sufficient to protect businesses against modern cyberthreats.
ViewQwest has partnered with Fortinet to provide businesses with our Next Generation Firewall (NGFWs) that filters network traffic to protect your business from both internal and external threats. Along with maintaining features of stateful firewalls such as pocket filtering, IPsec and SSL VPN support, network monitoring and IP mapping features. NGFWs posses deeper content inspection capabilities as well.
