How can I keep on top of my network security infrastructure?

Firewall
Having your finger on the pulse of your entire network always is a great advantage.
Keeping all your devices monitored and up to date is certainly necessary but an extremely resource intensive and time-consuming task. Not only this but each of these systems is a potential target for hackers if left unmaintained.
PROBLEM SOLVED!

Today, even in most small and medium sized businesses we find many systems and devices working together to make networks run smoothly. It’s not unusual to see these systems made of various cloud-based systems, on-site servers, Intrusion detection / intrusion prevention systems, Firewalls and Content filters, Routers, Wi-Fi Access-points, VPN concentrators as well as users working on desktops, laptops, and mobile devices. Also add to this the fact that today, more and more staff are working remotely on these devices.
This is an example of where “less is more” is applicable. The less available surfaces for attack, the better for the success of your business.
