Elite has committed itself to working with global leader and high performance network security firm, Fortinet, to bring enhanced firewall services to the market.
Matt Newing says: “Security risks to business systems are expanding at a rapid rate and going undetected by even the best IT teams. Our next generation managed firewalls will offer complete protection against these continually evolving threats.”
During 2013 there was a ten-fold increase in daily malware attacks, 20 million incidents involving the ZeuS Trojan, 1,800 new virus families targeting the Android platform alone and up to 700 million spam messages a month.
Together they will provide a solid first line of defence for organisations battling to contain the impact of these external threats on an IT system that now includes employee-owned devices, mobile workers, unauthorised software applications and cloud services.
Elite will now also offer customers comprehensive penetration testing that will test all network defences and provide a full report on the vulnerabilities discovered, as well as a 24/7 expert Security Operations Centre managed from Elite’s recently acquired, highly secure new data centre.
“IT teams worry about losing control of IT, as employees all over the business connect personal devices to the company network, download software and applications and turn to cloud services,” said CEO Matt Newing. “Gartner estimates that by 2017, marketing will spend more on technology than the IT department. Yet it’s the hard-pressed IT professionals that will still need to protect everything, and keep employees and company data safe from data-breaches and cyber-attack. We’re here to make that job easier.”
Elite’s managed firewall solutions are tailored for every customer. They remove the headache of complex management from IT teams, delivering lower operational costs and better performance. The service is ideal for firms with limited in-house IT resources.
The dedicated firewall protection provides guaranteed throughput (starting at 50Mbps and scalable to 10Gbps) and customisation options for policies, VPN access and unified threat management profiles, including anti-virus, intrusion prevention system (IPS), web filtering, anti-spam and traffic shaping. The solutions are user-friendly, integrated and available out-of-box.
