Firewall monitoring analyzes the traffic and performance of a firewall. Like most software, firewalls produce logs, which contain important performance data. Typical firewalls can send out over 800,000 events each day, and it’s important to know which events are significant. By monitoring logs and events, we can ensure your firewall is performing to the best of its ability to keep your data safe, while ensuring that necessary traffic is allowed through to maintain your productivity. If something goes wrong, monitoring systems can alert us about what we need to fix or secure, allowing us to minimize any downtime or vulnerabilities within your data.

Cyber criminals are constantly developing new methods of attacking networks and servers. Monitoring firewall data and trends keeps us one step ahead of them. The Department of Homeland Security recommends using firewalls in conjunction with other security measures to protect your organization from attacks.
