Why is a Firewall Needed?

In today’s digital landscape, protecting your network is more critical than ever. A firewall acts as a vital security barrier between a trusted internal network and potentially harmful external networks, such as the internet. By monitoring and controlling incoming and outgoing traffic based on predefined security rules, a firewall helps prevent unauthorized access, significantly enhancing your network's security. Firewalls filter out potentially malicious data packets, providing a crucial layer of defense against cyber threats.

At Primend, we recognize the importance of robust security solutions for our clients. That’s why we offer a comprehensive package of firewall and Unified Threat Protection (UTP) services, which together form a powerful security bundle. This combination safeguards organizations against various web-borne threats, including sophisticated DNS-based attacks.

After thorough evaluation, we selected Fortinet as our default firewall solution and here are the reasons

• Industry Leadership and Widespread Adoption
  Fortinet firewalls account for 50% of all new firewalls shipped worldwide, making them a "standard solution" similar to Microsoft 365. This popularity ensures an abundant pool of specialists who are familiar with Fortinet, simplifying setup and support. Many of our clients already use Fortinet firewalls, which enables us to create secure IPsec tunnels between companies, facilitating secure communication and data transfer.

• Powerful Combination of Security, Performance, and Cost-Effectiveness
  Fortinet firewalls deliver robust security without compromising on performance, scalability, or cost-efficiency. This makes them an ideal choice for businesses seeking comprehensive protection within a reasonable budget.

• Efficient Management with FortiManager
  At Primend, we’ve built our management system using FortiManager, allowing for automated updates, centralized configuration, and improved network transparency. This approach enhances efficiency and keeps our clients’ security up to date with minimal manual intervention.

• Reliability and Proven Track Record
  Over the past six years, Primend has sold and deployed hundreds of Fortinet firewalls. In this time, we’ve encountered only a handful of warranty or support issues, underscoring Fortinet’s reliability and strong market value.
