FIREFX Network Guardian 2.0 With DOMOTZ

1100

The Network Guardian 2.0 is a pre-configured, pre-tuned, and remotely supported Pro-AV, Next-Generation Firewall complete with Intrusion Detection/Prevention System (IDPS), Secure DNS, Enterprise-Grade Firewall, preconfigured VPN server for secure remote access, VLAN separation, with a re-envisioned "simplified" interface and integrated DOMOTZ Premier Award-Winning Remote Network Monitoring and Management Platform.

In the Pro-AV market, there is a great need for the implementation of real, meaningful network security. This is true now more than ever since we have transitioned to an Everything Over IP (EOIP) model, and end users are increasingly adding Do It Yourself (DIY) and Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) products to the networks we design and deploy. Each device added to our network represents an unknown security risk and a potential vector for network penetration. This is equally true in both the home and Small to Midsized Business (SMB) markets. This need for network security and performance will only increase as both the system integrator and end users rely increasingly on safe and secure Network Operations (NETOPS).

Unfortunately, very few system integrators have a handle on what real network security looks like, how to deploy it, and how to manage secure networks. Up until now, they have largely been left with two options; farm out network design and management to a third party, or deploy a network with very minimal security such as a standard firewall/router. 

The Network Guardian 2.0 bridges the gap by providing a professionally pre-configured next-generation firewall capable of delivering true enterprise-level security to the home and SMB. In addition to this, FIREFX provides remote troubleshooting and configuration/deployment support. Acting as your digital concierge, FIREFX can help system integrators deploy truly secure networks.  

With our new partnership with DOMOTZ, we now offer the power of premier award-winning remote network monitoring and management services integrated into our firewall appliance. DOMOTZ allows integrators to remotely monitor and manage their customer networks to enhance customer service, increase efficiency and improve their bottom line.

Not only will system integrators enjoy enterprise-grade network security, but they will also have best in class monitoring and alerting with DOMOTZ built in.

When it comes to cybersecurity, typical homeowners and SBM owners are filled with fear, uncertainty, and doubt. It seems that every day we are reading about new breaches and vulnerabilities in the headlines. With more and more people working from home, this concern is only growing daily.

The Network Guardian can help ease the clients' cyber-security fears as it provides real, meaningful security both at and behind the firewall. Its Intrusion Detection/Prevention System (IDPS) updates emerging threat profiles twice a day from databases maintained by industry professionals such as Cisco, Microsoft, Symantec, etc. In addition to this, the secure DNS service is updated in real time, blacklisting known bad sites and IP addresses on the Internet. As a result, the Network Guardian actually evolves with the changing landscape of Internet threats. It continually learns and adapts to the environment so the customer does not have to.

Some of the features end users appreciate in addition to the adaptive protection provided by the Network Guardian 2.0 are; 

1. Secure kids WiFi/VLAN complete with scheduling and active content filtering (pornography, gambling, violence, etc)
2. Custom firewall rules to allow for scheduling access to certain WiFi/VLANS or devices (i.e. Kids devices off at 9 PM on a school night, etc.)
3. Guest WiFi/VLAN with no access to internal network components.
4. Dedicated IoT WiFi/VLAN for the safe and secure addition of DIY & BYOD IoT devices. Users do not have to worry about negatively impacting the network when adding devices to the IoT WiFi/VLAN.
5. Virtual Private Network (VPN) server and clients with two-factor authentication for PCs, tablets, and phones. Allows secure/protected access through an encrypted tunnel while away from home (i.e. Coffeeshop, hotel, airport WiFi) through the Network Guardian.
6. Gigabit throughput at full protection (Tested at 976 Mbps on a 1GB fiber connection).

With the Network Guardian 2.0, System integrators do not have to be network experts to confidently deploy enterprise-level security in their clients' home or SMB. FIREFX has pre-configured the Network Guardian 2.0 specifically for Pro-AV and SMB deployments, setting you up for success. Add to that, our award-winning remote service and digital concierge support, and you have the ultimate network security solution.
