How can you reduce complexity and streamline security?

Next-generation firewalls (NGFW), proxy, and intrusion prevention systems (IPS) are the triad of defense for modern cybersecurity. As cyberattacks become more diverse, your organization needs a multifaceted security defense.

Implementing NGFW, proxy, and IPS creates a formidable security ecosystem, enabling quicker detection and response to emerging threats. This integration allows for automated incident response workflow, reduces the response time to security incidents, and gives you centralized management consoles that streamline security operations and reduce complexity.

SHI can assess your needs and create a roadmap for implementing the right solution for your environment, ensuring visibility and protection against emerging threats.

Next-generation firewalls

NGFW is not just a firewall – this technology offers deep application layer inspection, identifying and blocking unauthorized or malicious applications. Its intrusion detection capabilities can swiftly spot and respond to potential threats. NGFW integrates advanced threat detection mechanisms and establishes granular control over network traffic, user activity, and application usage, enhancing security and productivity.

Proxy servers

Proxy servers are the gatekeepers that sit between your network and the internet, scrutinizing incoming and outgoing traffic. They provide anonymity for internal users, hiding their IP addresses and reducing the risk of direct cyberattacks. They also offer content filtering to prevent access to malicious or inappropriate compliance, and load balancing, ensuring the availability and reliability of internet resources.

Intrusion prevention systems

IPS scans network traffic for known attack signatures and employs behavioral analysis to detect unusual network behavior that could signify a security breach. Generating real-time alerts when suspicious activities are detected, IPS controls network traffic by blocking or limiting access to certain resources, applications, or websites to reduce the attack surface.
