Unified Management

The first step any organization must take to secure their network architecture is to regulate the traffic that enters and exits the network by implementing a properly configured perimeter appliance. Yet the absence or improper configuration of an appliance is a key contributor in over 50 percent of data security compromises. This statistic shows that businesses continue to struggle with this most basic of data security controls, and an appliance is only the first of many security services needed to protect a network. Threats jeopardize your businesses' operations and combating these threats with security technology such as remote access controls, anti-virus, Virtual Private Networking (VPN) and Web-use policy enforcement is imperative. Unfortunately, many small-to-medium businesses do not have the resources to maintain an in-house security team to implement and maintain these security controls. Fortunately, the Protecht.ca Unified Threat Management (UTM) appliance provides you with a practical solution.
