Permeter Security
A firewall is a system designed to prevent unauthorised access to or from a private network, and is usually the first line of defence in protecting private network resources. A firewall, however, is only effective when it is integrated and understood as part of a company or organisation's overall security architecture.
Firewalls will not protect against misconfiguration, disgruntled employees or hackers who operate from within the organisation; often, it will not protect against malicious network traffic disguised as legitimate, or against viruses, worms and trojan horses.
Addressing issues of security and privacy and the relation between the two is essential for businesses and organisations attempting to understand the networked landscape.
NTS' highly trained consultants work with the industry's leading firewall manufacturers to bring customers the most suitable solution for their business.
Virus and worm attacks are growing exponentially, and it is critical to employ fast-acting, multi-tiered protection.
Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware Gateways stop incoming and outgoing viruses, worms or generally malicious code as traffic passes through, becoming the first line of defence in a corporate network.
AV Gateways are add an additional layer of protection to corporate networks; they are not meant to replace workstation and server anti-virus programs, which should still be deployed as a second and third tier.
