In a world that relies heavily upon IP based communications, the concern over network security will undoubtedly remain a topic that must be addressed and considered by businesses. One of the most basic layers of defense commonly used at the network edge is the firewall.

The challenge of today’s IT infrastructure is that firewalls are no longer simply a means of allowing the right traffic in and keeping out the wrong traffic out. Due to the evolution of technology, firewalls have had to adapt and often include advanced features like Intrusion Prevention, threat analysis, application layer filtering, URL filtering, and even anti-virus. With the implementation of these and other advanced feature sets, the firewall is no longer something that is configured once and can be left alone. As part of a layered security approach, firewalls must be monitored, updated, and maintained. Unfortunately, the type of expertise needed to perform such tasks does not come easy and hiring in-house IT security professionals is often beyond a company’s budgetary means.

Fortunately, there is an easy and effective solution to this challenging situation. The need for maintaining a robust network infrastructure can now be easily addressed with managed firewall services delivered by reliable and experienced IT support companies in San Diego. Rather than having to be concerned with the financial burden and general administrative overhead requirements of maintaining IT security professionals on staff, there is now an option to turn to qualified specialists who can provide the monitoring, configuration, and maintenance needed to preserve network security in a fluid and ever-changing landscape of IT related security threats.
