Why RFM
- the
first line of defense 
When a company’s network or Internet site
is compromised, the financial loss is huge.
Installation of a Firewall to protect your
organization’s IT assets is only the primary step of an
intrinsic and continuous security process. It is not only cost
consuming, but requires 24 hour monitoring by expert personnel.
If the organization lacks personnel with the skills to properly
configure and continuously monitor firewall activity, the very
tool designed to protect its network, it will expose the
organization to increased risks.
This is where Remote Firewall Management (RFM)
comes in promising greater security and lower costs. It reduces
costs by performing continuous monitoring and maintains
accountability by proactively monitoring all changes that
restrain the intrusion of undocumented backdoors. Another
important advantage of RFM is an analysis of the firewall logs
periodically to provide recommendations for increasing the
perimeter security of the network.

Net ProActive Services Remote Firewall Management
Service manages and monitors your Firewall on a 24x7x365 basis
through its world class facility, the International Management
and Resource Center (the IMaRC). It offers a proactive defense
against breach of security or intrusion by addressing the
problems with round the clock monitoring by an expert
team, proactive analysis, customized reporting, policy enforcement and change, in addition to presenting
significant
savings.
Our Approach -
in-depth
and comprehensive
Net ProActive Services offers a comprehensive
approach to Firewall security. It begins with consultation, in
order to understand your business requirements and identify the
communication points across various locations. Only then can
your IS infrastructure and Firewall installations be mapped
effectively towards protecting your IT assets by creating an
effective firewall security policy.
This is then followed by the establishment of
a Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection between client
locations and the IMaRC. The IPSec protocol ensures that the
communication is secure.
Installation of GUI client for managing the
customer’s Firewall enables the display of the Management
Module policy editor at IMaRC. This allows for various Firewall
policies to be created, deleted and modified on the client’s
firewall enforcement module centrally from the IMaRC. In
addition, the GUI client allows remote viewing and monitoring of
firewall logs, creation and modification of rule bases and other
parameters like spoofing, authentication etc. and installation
of the same on Firewall Enforcement Modules.
