Network Security - Perimeter Security

Firewalls

All companies need to have access to the Internet and public networks, but this exposes the company to outside hackers, and allows the company’s employees to access the public network for non-company purposes. Firewall devices are installed at the perimeter of the company’s network to inhibit and control these threats.

Firewall solutions recommended by Primary Networks range from devices offering “dedicated, full feature” firewalls for the enterprise and corporate businesses, to Unified Threat Management (UTM) firewalls for the small and medium sized business.

Intrusion Prevention Systems

Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) and Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) offer protection features over and above the modern firewall device, and are essential for enterprise and corporate businesses where additional security and compliance are essential to the business. The need for IPS has been borne out of the a number of requirements including, hackers using more sophisticated attacks to get round existing solutions, a wider range of products and applications to secure,  and the need for regulatory compliance.

WAN Acceleration

Globalisation has meant that distributed offices, homeworkers and teleworkers need to constantly share business information to increase competitive advantage. But business applications are generally designed for LANs, so when they are run over WANs (e.g. Internet, VPN) they are very slow to use because of the latency.

Web Proxy Security

Controlling what web sites are accessed by employees through the company’s Internet connection is vital in today’s business environment. Companies need to control what employees use the Internet for, and they need to authenticate and log access.
