NCS announced today that it has developed a Firewall Appliance solution for a leading Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP).
The appliance model backed up with 24x7 monitoring service helps the MSSP to deliver its services quickly and reduce support costs. The MSSP sends a pre-configured firewall appliance to a customer who simply needs to connect network cables and power on the appliance. Within minutes, the firewall appliance connects to the MSSP's Network Operations Center (NOC). The NOC staff constantly monitors the appliance to analyze log files, apply patches, and perform fixes and regular maintenance. This Checkmark certified Firewall appliance also comes integrated with intrusion prevention protection that stops network attacks inline before they reach their intended target.
"By outsourcing security services to Managed Security Service Providers, organizations can reduce costs and loss of business associated with cyber- threats. NCS is extremely pleased with this partnership," said Mr. Pranay Prakash, Executive Director, OEM Servers & Appliances for NCS.
This newly developed firewall appliance is 1U rack mountable, only 12" deep and features an Intel Celeron 2.0GHz CPU, dual 10/100 Ethernet interfaces, one 40GB EIDE drive and 256MB DDR memory.
