The work environment has changed. The ‘always on’ systems that we expect facilitate order placing, fulfilment and the ability to perform tasks from wherever we are, at whatever time we wish. Whilst this has generated new ways in how we work and driven innovation, it has also created an accompanying environment of risk. Hackers and viruses are never far from the door and business technology needs to be adequately protected from them.
IT teams are well aware of the high stakes involved, keeping up with developments in products, industry trends and the shifting sands of their environment is paramount. As is regular review of existing security policies, with modifications and refinements actively made to address new issues. The threat to corporate networks never stands still, so neither should your strategies to deal with them.
The firewall has traditionally been the frontline soldier in the battle for network security. It was the emergence of what has come to be known as next generation firewalls that took this technology to the next stage of its evolution. Following the lead from Unified Threat Management technology, which just preceded their development, these new devices extended their range and depth of capabilities to deliver a new level of protection.
The rise of web based services and their uptake by business accelerated their online risk exposure and provided hackers and viruses with new opportunities to target. Far more sophisticated levels of monitoring and interrogation of apparently safe network traffic is now required. Speak to the specialists at Intellect IT to make sure that your firewall is up to the task.
