In general, we know that a firewall is a device or system designed to limit and prevent access or block unwanted networks from or into an internal network but still allow incoming and outgoing communications according to predetermined rules. So that it can prevent end users from accessing sites that have security risks or the efficiency of your business productivity.
However, the performance of the firewall itself is still not optimal if it is limited to preventing or blocking certain networks or data traffic. Firewalls can also be used as a means or monitoring tool to obtain the data needed as an investigative or preventive step such as the type of IP, what types of threats are targeting your business or others.
Then, what’s the difference between a firewall and a managed service?
In general, Managed services are an outsourced service that is carried out by other companies or commonly referred to as vendors to do a series of jobs in supervision and management to improve the performance of companies that use the managed services. So that service users can focus more on playing their business.
Managed Service is resource intensive, time consuming, and requires special expertise by third parties to analyze it. For this reason, IFMS or IIJ Firewall Managed Service is here as a solution for your company’s needs.
