Our Managed Firewall Services take a Zero-trust approach to protect your business against threat<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Firewalls are the first point of defence for any organisation to protect their environment. As part of our initial managed firewall services design we will work closely with you to configure an environment based on the zero-trust model to ensure that your firewalls provide the highest security whilst allowing for optimal network connectivity to achieve your business goals. If your network carries card payment data, rest assured that Hughes by default designs PCI DSS compliance as an integral part of the network security concept.<\/p>\n

The managed firewall service focuses on three core components of the overall security implementation: Segmentation, Configuration and Patch Management<\/h5>\n

In order to ensure security hygiene, the implementation is carried out according to a hierarchal access and configuration methodology, which limits access by authenticating and authorising at the required level. All access and configuration changes are tracked and logged, providing detailed historical accounting for troubleshooting purposes, forensics, auditing and compliance.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\r\n <\/section>\r\n\r\n\n\n

Segmenting your data<\/h2>\n

Making sure that different types of data are treated differently is a key element of Managed Firewall Services. To achieve this we use segmentation. This enables the separation of the highly secure subnet from those that are less critical, enforced by strict policies that regulate inter-segment communication and controlling traffic transport path and destination. Segmentation also limits the damage that could be caused by viruses and malware preventing the failure from spreading to other parts of the network.<\/p>\n

Also, if a segment is compromised it is easier and faster to discover and respond to a threat that is already isolated by the nature of the design. Segmentation is necessary for the branch location LAN \/ WLAN but should also be extended and enforced across the core of the network and up to resources in the data centre and in the cloud.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Security conscious configuration<\/h2>\n

Setting up your network in a zero-trust\u00a0environment means that all aspects of the network need to be\u00a0considered with this in mind.<\/p>\n

This\u00a0means an\u00a0essential\u00a0component of\u00a0firewall management is the configuration of secure connectivity from the branch site to central resources or other branch locations.<\/p>\n

With\u00a0many\u00a0years\u00a0of\u00a0experience\u00a0in designing and delivering managed firewall services to\u00a0highly distributed organisations\u00a0who handle large volumes of\u00a0sensitive data we can deliver\u00a0the right design for your business.<\/p>\n

We\u00a0approach\u00a0this\u00a0by tunnelling the traffic and securing the data transmission using encryption.\u00a0Encryption techniques mean that it is\u00a0more difficult for intruders to your network to access\u00a0your vital data.\u00a0End-to-end\u00a0encryption at the network and application level,\u00a0such as email encryption and secure file transfer (SFTP),\u00a0combined with multi-VPN tunnelling\u00a0(tunnel in tunnel)\u00a0for transmission segmentation allow for higher data transmission security.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\r\n <\/section>\r\n\r\n\n\n

Keeping up to date<\/h2>\n

We all know that\u00a0the threat from attack is a moving feast. Those who\u00a0want to access and use our data for malicious purposes are finding\u00a0more and more creative ways to gain access to our systems. This means that what might have protected us yesterday will not protect us tomorrow.\u00a0Keeping your protection\u00a0credentials current is therefore a vital component of any managed firewall service.<\/p>\n

Our managed firewall services includes\u00a0the\u00a0implementation of\u00a0platform patches in a timely manner as soon as they are released by the OEM. Patches or updates could\u00a0be\u00a0security updates, bug fixes, software improvements,\u00a0and critical vulnerability mitigation. It is\u00a0imperative that all applicable licences are tracked and renewed on time so that services such as updates and\u00a0unified threat prevention\u00a0(UTP)\u00a0services are not discontinued.\u00a0We will manage all of this for you a part of the service so you can have peace of mind\u00a0that\u00a0your network is always benefiting from the latest\u00a0levels of\u00a0protection.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
