Like a one-way mirror, a firewall allows you to explore the internet while remaining essentially invisible to potential intruders.  Firewalls monitor incoming traffic, and decide whether to grant or reject access to a private network based on a defined set of security rules. This means that unauthorized users cannot gain access to your network, ensuring the company’s sensitive data remains safeguarded.

Firewalls come with another advantage as well. They provide businesses with the ability to monitor internal internet usage, and set up online rules for the users within the company’s network.  For instance, business owners can:

• control access to certain websites
• prevent employees from sending certain types of emails
• disable the transmission of sensitive data outside of the network

At CopperTree Solutions, we believe there is no one-size-fits-all solution.  Firewall protection comes in a wide variety of forms, and it is important to choose the right type for your computer system.  Setting up security rules that are appropriate for your work environment and security requirements can also be a challenge.  Firewalls can be breached by hackers if the installation of the firewall or configuration is faulty. 

Depending on the type of malware and virus protection the firewall offers, as well as your computer system and network, we may recommend using additional virus protection software.

CopperTree Solutions will setup, test, and monitor the right firewall for you, as well as help you develop the security rules that work best for your business. We will work with you to ensure all of your security needs are met.
