CLOUD HOSTED FIREWALL AND SD-WAN

CLOUD HOSTED FIREWALL AND SD-WAN

Intelligent and Secure Cloud Hosted Firewalls - ASG

Our Securewall – Cloud Firewall is built on the basis of SDN and SD-WAN. It is uniquely structured and developed to reach the desired state of a network through the complete automation of network configuration and processes. Utilising a using single-click method of commands combined with a level of network-wide intelligence that is able to self-correct.

What challenges could your current network be experiencing?

The complexities in firewall systems and setup, contradicting systems, and various manual or automatic configurations can cause a slow down in the expansion and growth of your business. 

The most common problems might include:

Repetition of a long processes because of Manual setups and configurations.

Expensive and limited Bandwidth impacts performance.

All Network Traffic Treated with the same prioritisation causing slow downs.

Unpredictable Performance and constant changes requiring manual updates.

Dependence on Internet Routers only.

Complex Infrastructure with multiple WAN links causing reliability penalties.

What makes these branching methods more flexible and secure?

This is a software-centric approach that provides the capabilities of being securely packaged on economical MikroTik routers without hindrance on bandwidth performance.

Cloud hosted firewalls and SD-WAN are capable of the following:

Affordable Bandwidth internet for high volume traffic while using secure WAN and not data center dependent.

Seamless and simplified integration of security services, optimisation and collaboration in the cloud.

Reliability, predictability & Performance of broadband internet and with software direction and link deficient remedy technologies.

Provides secure network services on almost all IT equipment which is flexible, automated simple to configure while abiding by business policies.

Cloud Service Access to the cloud from anywhere that will be secure and reliable to meet applications and services.

Virtual WAN that brings various links and sources to form a unified-group bandwidth. SD-WAN can be deployed on the cloud or on-premise with a pay-as-you-grow model for cost efficiency.

BUILT-IN WEB CONTENT FILTERING

Our application makes it easy to implement URL and internet content filtering policies with literally a click of a button.

You can filter which website categories you want to block; such as Adult Content, Illegal Content, Streaming Media, Chat & Instant Messaging, Social Networking, etc. Then the built into the application’s algorithms intelligently categorise sites, resulting in you not having to maintain a list of domains on a constant basis.

You can enforce Google Safe Search, YouTube restricted modes, and filtering avoidance domains to ensure unwanted content remains blocked.

POWERED BY MACHINE LEARNING

Our domain analysis algorithm is powered by machine learning. This enables for the identification of any malicious domains and undesirable content in real-time, providing extremely secure protection by eliminating major threat vectors.

The advantage we have over our competitors is that they rely on static, human categorised databases that are often months out of date because there are millions of domains and websites being added to the internet every day. Resulting in access to many new domains that are malicious.

Instead of utilising a large, out of date database we use our machine learning algorithms to analyse unknown domains and constantly keep our database up-to-date. Ensuring that you are protected with the most up to date threat and domain analysis in the industry.

What are ASG's Cloud Hosted Firewall and SD-WAN features?

The features are designed to achieve comprehensive automation that integrates and configures into a network. The idea is to have a one-click instruction or request to the internet with a high level of intelligence that can be implemented across your network. 

Firewall Application Performance

By implementing Multi-Path Optimization (MPO) you are able to increase the service level, capacity and performance of hybrid networks or of standard broadband Internet links for assured application performance. MPO aggregates multiple links such as Fibre, DSL, 4G-LTE and MPLS and steers traffic to the most optimal link at any given time to our application, no matter where they are located.

Secure and concise VPN              

Simple site-to-site IPSec VPN’s are used to connect our cloud firewall and non-application sites, while delivering real-time status and health of VPN sites. These sites can be set up on the network edge or the core. Policies are abstracted and users simply state the outcome of connecting to a certain destination, such as cloud applications.

Service Insertion

Service insertion supports network function virtualization (NFV) services to run on our cloud hosted firewall and inside our application Core.

Security Threat Protection

By applying security policies, your business and its users are protected against network attacks, malware, phishing, viruses, and other threats. Our application is one of the only providers in the industry using security threat analysis powered by A.I. and machine learning. Ensuring that your network is monitored with up 99.99% uptime, so you’re always protected from attacks and vulnerabilities.

Intelligent Routing

A SD-WAN vendor can enable a GUI (Graphical User Interface) to support routing. Our application’s intelligent routing is configured for more than just supporting standard routing. With support for BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) and OSPF (Open Shortest Path First), our application allows flexibility for incremental deployments and seamless integration with existing networks.

Segmentation  

Segmentation is vital for confining and managing different types of traffic while maintaining and meeting to business policies, such as segmenting and managing PCI traffic from corporate traffic and guest Internet traffic. Customers can enable certain settings and rules for each segment, and the segments are transferred to the entire network seamlessly.

Zero-Touch Provisioning

Our Securewall – Cloud Firewall automatically authenticates, connects, and receives configuration instructions once they are connected to the Internet in a zero-touch deployment. Our application integrates with the existing network; therefore, users benefit from dynamic learning and automation.

Reporting, Monitoring and Analytics

With a managed SD-WAN solution, the software’s network operations center will monitor all your sites or branches and proactively log faults with us to lockdown on. You can also get reports on the sites visited, the amount of data used, threats blocked and detailed network usage reports.
