Comprehensive Protection for Every Entry Point
Your First Line of Defense Against Cyber Threats.
Good security starts with a strong perimeter. Our Perimeter Security solutions, including cutting-edge technologies like Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW), offer robust protection against external threats attempting to breach your network.
The days of ‘set-it-and-forget-it’ firewalls are long gone. Today, policies need updating, traffic needs monitoring, and hardware needs patching.
With Ascend’s team behind your perimeter security, you receive expert configuration, worry-free maintenance, and 24×7 support, so you can rest assured that you’re secure.
your resilience starts with proactive defense
A Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) is an advanced security tool that not only blocks unauthorized access to your network but also offers enhanced protection by examining deeper layers of data. Unlike traditional firewalls that only check where data is coming from and going to, NGFWs can identify specific applications and users, detect potential threats, and respond quickly to keep your network safe. This comprehensive approach provides stronger security and better visibility into what’s happening on your network, making NGFWs essential for protecting against modern cyber threats.
Continuous Monitoring & Threat Detection
Our security team continuously monitors your network traffic for suspicious activity and potential threats, such as unusual patterns that might indicate a security breach.
Rapid Incident Response & Remediation
In the event of a security incident, our team swiftly responds by investigating the incident, containing the threat, and implementing corrective actions to prevent future occurrences, ensuring minimal disruption to your business.
Proactive Security Policy Management
We configure and manage security policies tailored to your business needs, ensuring optimal protection. This includes regular updates and adjustments to firewall rules based on the latest threat intelligence.
THE NETWORK PERIMETER ISN’T DEAD
— IT’S JUST DISTRIBUTED.
“Instead of thinking of the perimeter as one type of access control around the “edge” of the network, think of the perimeter as any place where you make an access control decision.”
