On-premise Firewalls: Key to Securing Today's Complex Businesses

As hybrid workforces expand and applications become more distributed, the complexity of network security grows, and IT teams are under pressure to protect against sophisticated threats. The growing digital ecosystem also brings a growing list of challenges that require quick and comprehensive action. 

One of the most effective solutions to address these challenges is implementing on-premises firewalls, such as the Fortinet FortiGate series. These advanced security solutions offer protection against evolving threats while simplifying network management. With PXC’s limited-time promotion of up to 34% off select FortiGate models, now is the perfect time to upgrade your customers’ security infrastructure. 

The Challenges of Securing a Modern Business 

Securing today’s hybrid organisations comes with several challenges that traditional security models may struggle to address. 

1. Managing complexity and the Need for Automation 

With cyberattacks accelerating in frequency and sophistication, rapid, automated detection and response is now essential. However, many organisations still rely on a patchwork of point security solutions across their networks, creating management complexity and limiting visibility. Automation is difficult in these circumstances and as a result, may leave critical security gaps. Your customers’ IT teams can stay ahead of threats more easily with the help of advanced solutions like Fortinet on-premise firewalls that can consolidate these functions into a single, automated platform that eliminates the need for numerous separate solutions.  

2. Closing Security Gaps to Stop Attacks 

Cybercriminals often exploit multiple points within a business’ network, searching for the weakest link to gain access. Once they’re in, the lack of internal segmentation allows attackers to move freely across the network, from one area to another. An effective way of keeping cybercriminals out is to make sure your customers’ firewall is kept up date with a certified version of firmware and that all critical vulnerability patches are applied as fast as possible. With PXC’s Managed Firewall Service, both are taken care of for you. 

3. Tackling the Expanding Attack Surface 

Today’s businesses are far from uniform. With hybrid environments encompassing on-premises infrastructure and multiple cloud platforms, organisations face an expanding attack surface. Each new digital expansion introduces a new layer of security needs, resulting in solution sprawl that can overwhelm IT teams already coping with a cybersecurity skills gap. This is where comprehensive, managed and scalable security solutions from PXC help unify protection across your customers’ hybrid business network, simplifying security while keeping the business secure. 

On-premise and virtual firewalls, such as the FortiGate series from leading security provider, Fortinet, are designed to address all these unique challenges by providing an adaptable and centralized solution that ensures comprehensive protection.
