Firewall
There are excellent software and hardware solutions available for
protecting a business’s connections to outside networks. This category of
security of hardware and software is often referred to as the corporate
firewall. These edge security solutions (to use Microsoft terminology) do far
more with respect to security than just filter traffic. They also provide patch
management across the network, management of anti-virus and other code blocking
software, management of VPNs and other remote communications, and much more.
Having a good edge security solution is clearly a cornerstone for almost any
well conceived security plan.
Microsoft, Cisco, SonicWall, Symantec, Computer Associates and hundreds of other
companies have solid offerings in this space. Microsoft, for example, has their
Forefront Client Security, Server Security, and Edge Security and Access
products. The following is a list of the features these types of applications
typically perform:
-
Update Client Computer Signature Files.
-
Use Policies to Manage Client Computers.
-
Alerting, Reporting, and Monitoring of Client Computers.
-
E-mail based Workflow.
