Firewall

Broadband Solutions offers two product options, Premises-based Appliances and Cloud-based Platform.

Cloud-based Platform

Our Cloud-based Platform provides comprehensive Firewall protection services without the need to install physical hardware on site. If your organisation has a cloud-based strategy in place, the implementation of this solution will fit seamlessly with your strategy.

The same features as the premises-based solution are deliverable with a major advantage being that a Security Threats or Denial of Service attacks will be intercepted at the network perimeter, within the Broadband Solutions’ network, not at your end of the data connection:

• Application Blocking and Policing – applications such as peer to peer can be identified and blocked or rate limited
• Web site filtering – web sites that are deemed to be unsuitable for access by users can be blocked. This can apply to such sites as social media or containing adult content
• Intrusion detection – your network is actively monitored for suspicious traffic by analysing protocol activities
• Malware Detection – identify and blocking the latest virus etc
• DDOS Attack- will protect the local LAN, as well as your data feed from saturation due to DDOS attack.

Premises-based Appliance

Premises-based Appliance is a cost effective solution for the implementation of Firewall services. You are able to dimension the solution based on the number of users you expect to have connected within your business, office or school. Being appliance based means the hardware and software are supplied as a single bundle in your office at your end of the data connection you wish to filter. The appliance based solution offers such things as:

• Port Blocking and Redirection – traffic such as peer to peer can be identified and blocked or redirected
• Web site filtering – web sites that are deemed to be unsuitable for access by users can be blocked. This can apply to such sites as social media or containing adult content
• Intrusion detection – your network is actively monitored for suspicious traffic by analysing protocol activities
• Malware Detection – identify and blocking the latest virus etc
• DDOS Attack- will protect the local LAN from saturation due to DDOS attack.
