Defend and Combat Against Cyber Security Threats
It’s never been more important to outsource your security. With employees working from home, network gaps have become numerous. It can be difficult for businesses of all sizes – not just small ones – to maintain an active cybersecurity program on their own.
Outsourcing to an experienced cybersecurity service provider like VPLS will keep your network secure, protecting your network from malware and ransomware attacks. Get peace of mind knowing our security professionals are looking after your organization.
Get Started with Managed Security from VPLS
Protect against modern threats with VPLS' Managed Firewall service
VPLS has partnered with Fortinet to provide our customers with an industry-leading next-generation firewall in a cost-effective, yet robust monthly service package. Fortinet’s FortiGate firewall is truly a leader, validated by both being a Gartner Magic Quadrant Leader for Network Firewalls and consistently recommended by NSS Labs. Security isn’t something to be taken lightly, and this VPLS Managed Firewall will be your first line of defense against today’s sophisticated threats against your business, like botnets and ransomware.
And it doesn’t stop there – VPLS’ Managed Firewall service goes far beyond just deploying a great firewall in your network. Included in the Managed Firewall service is comprehensive advanced threat protection, SD-WAN services, VPN services, 24/7/365 monitoring and alerting by our in-house NOC/SOC, weekly/monthly reports delivered to your inbox, and much more.
Gone are the days of having a dedicated VPN concentrator. VPLS’ Managed Firewall supports both SSL and IPsec VPNs in both remote access and site-to-site configurations. Our team of certified engineers will document your business needs and configure the firewall to support one or both types of VPN during initial deployment and beyond.
Multi-factor authentication (MFA/2FA) is fully supported and encouraged, and VPLS can even provide a customized package of tokens as part of the Managed Firewall service.
Why pay for a dedicated SD-WAN appliance when VPLS’ Managed Firewall has Secure SD-WAN built in? With VPLS’ Managed Firewall service, you will have, included in the package, powerful SD-WAN functionality that your business can utilize to ditch costly MPLS links, load balance redundant ISP connections, achieve desired QoS for mission-critical apps, and more.
