Is your network vulnerable to attack? Are you susceptable to "snooping" from the competition? How much damage can a disgruntled employee do to your network or your website?

Don't leave your doors open to network damage and theft. Lock your network and Internet connections with Voicenet's Managed Security!

Nearly every day the news is filled with reports of hacker attacks, security breaches and network intrusions. Experts agree that the best protection for any network is properly configured and administered hardware firewall protection.

Voicenet's Managed Security protects networks from many kinds of attacks and intrusions. Voicenet provides the tools and information required to stop unauthorized connections and take action against the originator. When an attack is detected by the Voicenet Managed Hardware Firewall, an alert is sent to Voicenet's Network Operations Center (NOC), and the firewall blocks all attack traffic while allowing normal traffic to pass uninterrupted. Voicenet's NOC will then work directly with the provider where the attack is originating from to prevent further abuse from the same source.

Intrusions are automatically updated by Voicenet to stay current with known types of attack. Voicenet's Managed Security currently protects against the following types of network attacks:

Voicenet's Managed Hardware Firewall takes the management and administration out of your network security while providing you with more options to customize and secure your network connectivity. Pricing starts at just $29.95 per month. Voicenet's dedicated appliance runs at "wire speed," ensuring no additional latency or performance issues. Our Network Operations Center constantly monitors and automatically updates Voicenet Managed Firewalls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

In addition to protecting a network from attacks, a firewall must also provide access to individuals and services that are allowed on the network. One method of doing this is to make a "hole", or policy, allowing traffic inside the network. While this works for some types of access, other services or individuals may require a more secure method of gaining access to a VMS (Voicenet Managed Security) protected network. This can be achieved by creating a Virtual Private Network or "VPN" Tunnel.

A VPN Tunnel is an agreement between 2 firewalls (or a firewall and a remote user) on how to encrypt data between each other. In the event that data between the two sides is intercepted, it would be unusable without the key used in the encryption process.

The many benefits of VPNs include:

Security - Limiting the amount of "holes" in a firewall by encrypting authorized traffic, and ensuring that traffic passed over the public network cannot be intercepted or stolen.

Flexibility - More services and information can be given to users that are not behind the firewall, and multiple locations can share information over the public network.

Scalability - As the number of connected networks increase, additional VPN Tunnels can be quickly added and configured by Voicenet to include new offices and users.

Cost Effective - Instead of purchasing dedicated circuits between locations, a VPN can safely and effectively transport network traffic across the Internet, or other public network.

Firewalls and Virtual Private Networks work together to provide secure communications at an affordable price. Voicenet Managed Security provides all the benefits of these technologies without the need for dedicated personnel to configure and manage it.
