Unified Security

Integration and consolidation of essential network perimeter protection technologies into a single appliance that protects your IT network.

Adventus Next Generation Firewall and Unified Threat Management

Next Generation Firewall (NGFW) & Unified Threat Management (UTM)

Traditional cyber threats like viruses and malware pale in comparison to recent forms of cyber-attacks like ransomware, phishing and impersonation fraud. These attacks can devastate companies; causing embarrassment, financial losses, reputational damage, legal suits and even cessation of business. With cyber criminals becoming increasingly sophisticated, cybersecurity is a discipline that is constantly evolving. Hence, it is paramount that organizations take proactive steps in their defence against cyber-attacks and be constantly vigilant. Our cybersecurity practice endeavours to equip organizations with the most effective tools, services, solutions, policies, processes and practices to safeguard their financial assets and intellectual properties; taking into consideration, their budgets and business needs.

A Next Generation Firewall Overview

Advanced Threat/Intrusion Prevention

Detect and prevent sophisticated cyber threats in real-time with integrated threat intelligence and behavioural analytics. Also known as an Intrusion Prevention System (IPS).

Application Visibility and Control

Gain granular control over applications and enforce policies based on application types, users, and groups. Analyses traffic at a deeper level than traditional firewalls.

Threat Intelligence

NGFWs actively guard against evolving threats by tapping into external threat intelligence sources, such as a list of bad IP addresses, and updating their filter list.

Packet Filtering

Inspects every individual packet, like a fine mesh sieve, to see source and destination IP addresses. Also inspects the port that a packet is going to and blocks unwanted traffic, unless from an approved source.

Dark Web Monitoring Services

Adventus Dark Web Monitoring Services help organizations monitor the dark web for data breaches, credential leaks and brand impersonation.

Secure Web Access Services

Adventus Secure Web Access Services focus on protecting organizations from web-based threats, ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and maintaining a secure and productive web browsing environment for computer users.

Deep Packet Inspection

One level up above packet filtering. An NGFW also inspects packet bodies for malware signatures and potential threats, comparing it to the contents of other known and reported malicious attacks.

Support for Hybrid and Cloud Environments

NGFWs have the capability to secure on-premise networks, hybrid work setups, and cloud environments. Consistent threat protection can be delivered across a variety of deployment models.

A firewall is the first line of defence in protecting your business. Indemnify yourself from the ever-changing threat landscape with powerful capabilities, such as Real-Time Threat Detection, Proactive Threat Prevention, and reap the benefits of proven network security.

A Next Generation Firewall can also become a Unified Threat Management network. Your organization will have access to a set of security management tools that you can choose, while managing them through a singular platform. A UTM comes equipped with automatic updates to keep your defences abreast of the latest threats.

Use Case of A Unified Threat Management Network

A setup without UTM involves handling multiple components in your security arsenal. Piecemeal solutions like your firewall, your corporate VPN, application control systems and others. This can be a drain on your resources and time, especially if your IT team is spread thin. A UTM allows for easy consolidation and monitoring of threats and offers a high-level view of your security, allowing an administrator to tweak and address updates effectively.

A UTM helps ward against attacks that target multiple network components, operating several threat response mechanisms at once. Targeted networks without this centralisation of resource control can be demanding when multiple components are under attack.

Fundamentally, Next Generation Firewalls and Unified Threat Management networks protect your network. Read more about NGFW and UTM on our blog here.
