Who needs a firewall?

• You have a fixed access to Internet
• You have your own mail or www server inhouse
• There is a need to manage data traffic internal between different departments and subsidiaries

What problems do you have?

• High maintenance costs for IT-Security
• Concerns about intrusions and attacks
• Lack of competent and trained staff to maintain current firewall
• No regular monitoring of whether your firewall is working and is properly configured and installed
• Need to control traffic and segmenting your various networks
• Need to prioritize your data traffic, such as business-critical systems

A firewall solution from Excedo solves the above problems quickly and efficiently

The value of having your own firewall

• Ensure transport to and from your company's internal computer network
• Ability to optimize traffic, eg prioritize business-critical data traffic (ERP)
• Possibility of separating the various resources / departments within the organization
• Ability to work remotely in a secure manner to the company's internal computer network
• In a modern firewall both firewall and VPN can be integrated into a single unit without any performance problems, which increases security and simplifies administration
• Create security for wireless networks

What is VPN (Virtual Private Networks)

VPN is a technology to create secure data communication over an insecure network, such as Internet. Often you can achieve significant performance and cost advantages by having a VPN solution in place compared to a traditional leased line. A common use for VPN is to allow remote communication from e.g. your company's traveling sales or home workers that have to communicate with the company's core systems.

Problems with old VPN solutions

• Poor performance. A solution does not handle traffic in the "wire-speed", i.e. limit of performance. You could pay for the bandwidth you can not use
• Installation and management is often complicated and expensive
• High prices / expensive operator-based solutions with an unknown level of security (MPLS) are common
• Not integrated with the firewall solution, this creates additional administrative and security problems

Excedo offers modern VPN solutions with integrated firewall functionality where these problems are solved.

Benefits you can achieve with a VPN solution
