The firewall is the foundation stone of any Internet Perimeter protection scheme. As shown in the figure below the Internet perimeter is divided into various secure areas, including so-called de-militarized zones (DMZ). Systems that communicate between a local network and
the Internet are quarantined within the DMZ. The object is to ensure that there is no direct connection between the Internet and the
local network. Classical systems in a DMZ could be for example mail, web or proxy servers.
A Firewall, together with a Network Intrusion Prevention system,
can effectively defend your network against penetration by hackers. In particularly exposed web applications, for instance
business-critical e-commerce solutions, we recommend deploying an Application Security Gateway to block any direct connection
between the user and the web server. BetterBytes offers innovative solutions to prevent loss and damage caused
by viruses, spam or unauthorized access to illegal content in the Internet. An Anti-Virus,
Anti-Spam or Internet Access Control system, configured and
operated by security specialist from betterBytes, makes a vital contribution to the comprehensive protection of your emails,
data and applications. To complete coverage we advise running a Vulnerability Scan at regular intervals so any new vulnerabilities
in your IT infrastructure can be found and fixed without delay.
