Cisco Firewall: comprehensive protection for complete peace-of-mind


Network firewalls are an essential part of any business.
 

By distinguishing between legitimate and unauthorised web traffic, a reliable firewall helps protect you from security breaches that can disrupt operations, damage productivity, compromise compliance, and even jeopardise your reputation. Traditional firewalls have worked well. But as technologies evolve – and mobile and cloud gain momentum – these threats are becoming more complex and frequent.

More people are connecting to the corporate network, in more ways, from more places than ever before. The average worker now uses three personal devices for work; that’s more than 15 billion mobile devices active across the enterprise. This is a good thing. Employees are dramatically more productive at work, and more satisfied in their work. But it has serious consequences for IT management and security.

Network perimeters are constantly changing, as people move around and switch between applications and devices. This presents IT managers with a tricky dilemma: protect the network, while simultaneously offering an almost infinite number of access points (each one making the network more vulnerable to attack). Do too much of one, and users will get annoyed with over-complicated passwords and questions. Too much of the other, and the network may be compromised.

As cloud computing morphs into the Internet of Everything (IoE), businesses of all sizes and shapes will enjoy new and exciting opportunities. For yours to take full advantage, it’ll need to be fully secure. This means having full visibility of everything that’s going on: whenever, wherever and however it happens. Viewing your users, applications, content, devices – and threats – in real-time. Only then will you be confident you’re always protected. Cisco can get you there.
