We understand that providing internet security for your business network can be expensive, difficult and time consuming to maintain. Pitbull Technology's managed firewall solution provides a cost effective way to defend your business network from security breaches while keeping the costs down associated with securing your network.

Key reasons why firewalls fail:

• Missing security patches and updates to both the firewall application and host operating system.
• The addition of new hosts within the protected environment requiring changes to the firewall policy. These are often added as generic host rules, affecting the security of existing hosts.
• The removal of hosts from the infrastructure without the corresponding changes to the firewall policy. This creates a ‘leaky’ policy should a host ever be remotely compromised.
• The addition of ‘temporary’ policy changes to overcome one-time problems throughout the year. Often a favorite with system administrators who have to obtain and install the latest security patches or updates to the protected hosts.
• The reviewing of firewall logs becomes less frequent over time. Administrators invest less time monitoring the day-to-day functioning of the firewall and attacks go unnoticed.
• Administration of the firewall changes hands (as it no longer interests the ‘techie’ who initially installed it) to someone less qualified and less capable of altering the firewall policy - particularly the addition of rules that restrict incoming traffic, but place no restrictions on outbound traffic
• Many more people gain rights to administer the firewall, such that no single person knows why certain rules were created in the first place or the significance of a change.
