A firewall is an essential part of any secure network infrastructure. However the days where a standalone firewall was deemed adequate defence from remote attackers have long since gone. This doesn't mean that a firewall solution is now redundant; it just means that the firewall is part of a larger security picture.
Every organisation, regardless of its size, should filter IP traffic at all points of entry to the network. For many this may just mean the corporate Internet connection, but many others will have links to third party networks such as; customers, suppliers, partners, dispersed offices, home workers, to name a few. If these connections aren't supported by a firewall, you face the risk of a network attack via these routes. A lack of filtering at these points means you are relying on the security measures of others.
ADP is able to offer a range of scalable firewalls and traffic filtering solutions based upon the size and requirements of your business.
