Firewalls - Who's watching your network?

What kinds of security threats does the Internet pose? Some, like password attacks and the exploiting of known security holes, have been around since the early days of networking. Others, like the distributed denial of service attacks that crippled some well known major e-commerce sites in early 2000, are in current headlines.

Firewalls, critical components of today's computer networks, effectively protect a system from most Internet security threats. They keep damage on one part of the network--such as eavesdropping, a worm program, or file damage--from spreading to the rest of the network. Without firewalls, network security problems can rage out of control, dragging more and more systems down.

altoHiway partner with both Cisco and SonicWALL to provide some of the most innovative and secure firewall solutions on the market. Our belief is that every Internet user should have a firewall to ensure the best protection possible from intruders and to safeguard their business now and into the future.
