While Cutting Edge Network Technologies utilizes many forms of network security, we have standardized on the “Sonicwall” line of products. Sonicwall provides excellent network and computer protection with Firewalls, Intrusion Detection services, Content Filtering services and Anti-Virus solutions.

After network security is established, it is very important to monitor and manage the individual products and services. Cutting Edge Network Technologies offers “Managed Security Services” that not only monitors and manages your security investment, but also extends the features of your equipment and software by providing intuitive reporting and support.

Examples:

Updates:
Firewalls and network security software require frequent updates to remain effective. These updates are often handled manually and forgotten, leaving networks open to potential security risks. Under our management, our engineers install hotfixes, patches, updates and new firmware regularly, as they are released.

Management:
As your network grows, the Firewalls and software will need to be reconfigured to provide additional licenses, computer access, VPN (Virtual Private Networks) etc. Our engineers are available 24/7 to help with any access rules or configurations needed.

Support:
Our engineers all hold the highest Sonicwall Certifications and training available. (CSSP – Certified Sonicwall Security Professional.) We maintain a high level of support 24/7 and can escalate problems directly to Sonicwall should the need arise. While under our “Managed Security Services”, all firewalls are covered 100% by Sonicwall for escalations and faulty equipment replacement. (Normally you must purchase support through Sonicwall for an extra fee on a yearly basis.)

Reporting:
One of the greatest features and extensions of the Sonicwall Firewall device is our reporting feature that is only available through managed services, or costly additional software. While under our “Managed Security Services”, you will receive accurate, detailed graphical reports of internet usage as well as blocked attacks and intrusions. These reports are emailed on a daily, weekly or monthly basis and provide key information on how your internet connection is being used, and where your users are going. (ie. Web site tracking.)

With all of these benefits, it is easy to see how Cutting Edge Network Technologies “Managed Security Services” can benefit your organization.
