Consulting - Firewall Setup

If there is one component that is more important than any other for networks that are attached to the internet, it would be the firewall.  This device keeps you safe from all of the script kiddies, worms and sometimes viruses that make the internet such a dangerous place.  Not too long ago I conducted an experiment by taking a Windows XP computer and put it "live" on the internet without a firewall - and it was found and infected within two minutes of me doing so!

Many of our clients have taken advantage of an IPCop firewall - an open-source solution that can protect a single computer or an entire corporate network.

Some of our installations have consisted of:

  • SmoothWall (both corporate and GPL) firewalls
  • IP Cop firewalls
  • PIX firewalls
  • Watchdog firewalls

We can find the right solution for you!
