Firewall – What is it?
A firewall is a network security device that monitors incoming and outgoing network traffic and decides whether to allow or block specific traffic based on a defined set of security rules/policies.
They act as a barrier between secured internal networks and untrusted outside networks, such as the internet.
Firewalls are available in different formats such as hardware, software or both.
Why do you need it?
A Firewall protects your server and applications from unauthorised access to ensure your server environment is safe and secure. A key component of Cyber Security Essentials is to ensure you have a good firewall solution in place, be that hardware or software.
We do not recommend operating a server without a firewall in place and our technical team will be able to advise on the most appropriate firewall solution for your business.
We have a number of options available:
Dedicated Firewall (Dedicated FirewallPLUS) ✓
Dedicated FirewallPLUS is designed for customers who want that extra level of security and the ability to customise rules, VPN connections etc. Cisco ASA is our standard hardware and is provided for your solution only, giving you total control.

Datacentreplus provides a fully managed and redundant firewall solution that is available to all customers. Your server(s) will sit behind this environment, keeping you safe in the knowledge that your systems are safe and secure.
WAF (Web Application Firewall) ✓
A WAF (Web Application Firewall) creates a shield between a Web Application and the Internet; this shield can help mitigate many common attacks.
