WHAT IS A NETWORK FIREWALL?

If your company is wary of the threat of network intrusion from outside sources, you need to think seriously about using firewall technology to secure your internal network.

Hackers and other malicious attacks are more common than you think. Once someone has entered your network they can view confidential information and compromise the integrity of your data. The introduction of firewall security is the first step to making sure your network is left untouched by hackers.

Internet security appliances provide the first line of defense against Internet security threats for your business. Our Alliance with major manufacturers mean that we can offer our clients the best solution for their business.To find out more about having a secure network contact Inkaa solutions.


WHY WOULD I WANT A FIREWALL?

The Internet, like any other society, is plagued with the kind of people who enjoy the electronic equivalent of writing on other people's walls with spraypaint, tearing their mailboxes off, or just sitting in the street blowing their car horns. Some people try to get real work done over the Internet, and others have sensitive or proprietary data they must protect. Usually, a firewall's purpose is to keep these people out of your network while still letting you get your job done.

Many traditional-style corporations and data centers have computing security policies and practices that must be adhered to. In a case where a company's policies dictate how data must be protected, a firewall is very important, since it is the embodiment of the corporate policy. Frequently, the hardest part of hooking to the Internet, if you're a large company, is not justifying the expense or effort, but convincing management that it's safe to do so. A firewall provides not only real security--it often plays an important role as a security blanket for management.

Lastly, a firewall can act as your corporate "ambassador'' to the Internet. Many corporations use their firewall systems as a place to store public information about corporate products and services, files to download, bug-fixes, and so forth. Several of these systems have become important parts of the Internet service structure (e.g.: UUnet.uu.net, whitehouse.gov, gatekeeper.dec.com) and have reflected well on their organizational sponsors.
