Current threats such as viruses, malware, ransomware, phishing, and other cybercrimes will continue to grow and become more sophisticated. One solution that can be done is to use a firewall as a solution for network security. With a firewall, connections from outside the network to the intranet can be controlled so that they cannot enter unless they get permission from the firewall itself.
Without a firewall, data traffic originating from the internet and intranet will easily enter and exit the network. Without clear network security, an illegal data traffic transaction will potentially occur. For this reason, a firewall is needed which can be the first gateway used to be able to select traffic that is allowed and cannot pass through the intranet or the internet.
But unfortunately, a firewall as an effort to protect the network or network security in your company network is not able to ward off threats from malware, phishing, spyware, or viruses. Because basically, the firewall itself functions to close or open certain ports or only accept or reject certain data traffic according to what has been previously made.
For the firewall’s performance to be maximal, it requires additional licenses that can improve the performance of firewalls such as Antivirus, IPS, IDS, Antispam, and so on, with a UTM (Unified Threat Management) license.
UTM is a security system capable of combining several security features such as Firewall, Antivirus gateway, IPS / IDS, Antispam, WebFilter, and others into one BOX and centrally managed. Thus it will be easier and can maximize the performance of the firewall itself. However, it still requires an in-depth analysis to find out whether the firewall status is normal or not. So it requires IT specialist personnel who can specifically handle this matter.
Because not all companies have sufficient resources to carry out this analysis. For example, companies that are not engaged in IT. To meet these needs, managed services from third parties are needed to make it easier for your company to maximize network security performance such as IFMS (IIJ Firewall Managed Service) services by IIJ Global Solutions Indonesia which can provide maximum service with the addition of a license. tailored to the needs of your company.
