Networks Now Managed Linux Firewalls

Networks Now has been providing networking installation services to small and large organisations for the past 7 years. During this time we have witnessed the explosion in malicious activity over the Internet due to reduced cost and greater availability of ADSL, cable and Satellite broadband services. Whilst the majority of organisations are highly aware of the cost to they’re businesses from email born virus’s, complacency is still high when it comes to the need for a more complete and effective security strategy such as stateful inspection firewall, Intrusion detection and real time monitoring for their networks. There are many components to effective security, most of which are governed by business requirements.

Networks Now specialises in network security and management. Our product offerings are primarily focused on customised stateful inspection Linux based firewalls, management services and monitoring. Most commercial firewall systems are expensive and only provide firewall protection. Our system provides Intrusion detection system (IDS), proxy server, comprehensive system logs, VPN and firewall at a fraction of the cost. Management services range from 24x7 monitoring and notification of an organisations mission critical services to taking full responsibility for restoring operations. With full management Networks Now will take full control of your critical systems uptime, where we monitor, respond, rectify and report on any service failure.

A Networks Now VPN utilises 3DES, 168 bit encryption technology. Ensure that communications between your organisations offices and mobile staff is secure with a VPN. With Networks Now's managed firewall, configuring a VPN for your interoffice and mobile communications is just a phone call away.

We also provide a hardened Linux Web and email server that when coupled with our firewall creates the perfect office Internet suite. Our email server also provides an email web interface so you can view your email from anywhere in the world.

With Networks Now on your team you can start taking proactive steps to ensure your systems are there when you need them and protected from those who shouldn't see them.
