Securing your Company Internet Connection with a Firewall

Whatever your internet connection, security is an important issue. Too many companies risk their data by allowing uncontrolled users, each with their own modem, to connect to the internet. This gives companies no say over what their employees either look at, or download - laying the internal network wide open.

As well as protecting your network, a good firewall can help control who is allowed access to the internet and who is allowed to download files etc.

ADSL-NOW! services can be delivered through a managed (and maintained), high-security ICSA-approved firewall. This will keep unwanted hackers out and can also help control internet use.

ADSL-NOW! can supply a range of firewall configurations to suit most requirements, including secure links between offices and VPNs (Virtual Private Networks).

An Award Winning Firewall

The Firewall we supply is the award-winning Sonicwall, a self-contained stand-alone unit which continues to receive rave reviews from the industry.

Painless Configuration

There is no need for you to be an expert in internet or firewall technologies because standard firewall configuration is included as part of the setup charge - so your network is protected from the moment you connect up.

Even if you need a custom setup with VPNs, our experts can handle all of the complex tasks for you.

Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) - optional
Sonicwall's VPN capability allows remote (even mobile) users or offices to connect directly into the network as if they were working in the office.

Sonicwall VPN uses the IPSec industry-standard protocol to provide secure communication over the internet, eliminating the need for expensive leased lines between offices, or dedicated modem banks and remote access servers for dial-up users.

Branch offices and telecommuters can use Sonicwall VPN to communicate securely with the main office or with each other. Sonicwall VPN seamlessly supports Windows networking by allowing users to view both local and remote resources in the same Windows Network Neighborhood.

Sonicwall VPN is also compatible with other VPN gateways based on the IPSec standard such as Check Point Firewall-1, Cisco PIX, Nortel Contivity and Axent Raptor, making it a perfect VPN solution for branch offices and telecommuters, whether or not there is a Sonicwall VPN gateway in the main office.
