Network Managed Services - Security Solutions

As Network Security has risen in awareness and priority, so too have the matters that complicate it. No Longer simply a “Check box” item, network security has become a chief concern for enterprises and SME’s and the focus has expanded from just the internet connection to the Local Area Network (LAN), Wireless LAN (WLAN) and Wide Area Network (WAN).

According to Gartner, defending the enterprise network “in depth” is vital to protecting an organization. However, doing so at the expense of security at the perimeter is not a sound strategy. Therefore, securing the network perimeter is more important than ever. It is no longer adequate to have exclusively centralized, host-based security with Internet firewalls and intrusion detection. Today’s enterprises need a security strategy that includes detection and enforcement at every point of network access, for all user types. This means providing intelligent access services at the edge of the network, where users connect — whether it is via a switch in a wiring closet or a wireless access point. Network and policy management, however, must remain centrally managed for crucial control.
