Managed Firewall Service
A firewall has two jobs. It enforces your security policy, and it keeps the business connected. Both depend on the same day-to-day configuration, monitoring, and tuning long after the initial deployment. Integrity360's Managed Firewall Service puts that work in the hands of a team that does it full time, on the platform you already own. This guide sets out how the service is structured, what it covers, and what changes for your IT and security teams once the firewall has a dedicated owner.
