Assured cost optimization- Organizations need to adopt a wide array of technologies such as Intrusion Prevention Systems, Content Filtering Systems, Threat Prevention Systems, and firewalls to ensure comprehensive threat protection from variety of vectors. This can be a highly costly proposition in terms of management and updating of so many systems in addition to capital expenditure involved in purchasing of equipment and software applications.
Managed Firewall Services boost TCO while providing optimum security against highly complex and wide ranging security threats. Unified security management can further improve visibility of security systems since there is no need to update systems on individual basis.
Professional teams of engineers are employed by providers of managed firewall services to look after every aspect of firewall operations and updating of the systems. This remarkably minimizes operating as well as capital expenditure and as per the available data on records organizations have demonstrated reduction of firewall expenditure by as much as 37 per cent.
