Consulting services for firewalls

A firewall is a central part of any security architecture. A properly configured and managed firewall protects the business against unwanted traffic and cyber threats.  

Since the establishment of the Next Generation Firewall (NGFW) concept, the firewall has taken on many more security tasks. Today's NGFW devices handle tasks such as decryption of encrypted traffic, URL filtering, deep packet inspection with threat filtering, and content filtering, etc. Additionally, many more parameters are used in traffic evaluation, such as user identity, machine type, layer 7 application, and service port. 

The firewall is no longer an all-in-one box but increasingly uses vendor-specific and independent cloud services to perform tasks. The threat landscape is dynamic and complex, and manufacturers use machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze information from thousands of sources and feed the firewall with updated information in real-time. 

Setting up and configuring firewalls is a complex and ongoing task. Sicra offers comprehensive services in firewall management, implementation, and optimization, delivered by our experienced consultants.
