In 2020, FreshDesign entrusted DataRoad - IT Services and Consulting with the security and continuity of its network: a next-generation firewall (NGFW), SSL VPN for remote working and load balancing between two internet connections with automatic failover. The solution came under DataRoad's ongoing management, with monitoring, alerting and reports — an example of a managed firewall applied to an office that cannot be left without access.
Project details
| Field | Detail |
|---|---|
| Client | FreshDesign |
| Sector | Businesses and offices |
| Year | 2020 |
| Scope | Firewall and security, servers and infrastructure, IT Unlimited |
Three layers, one objective: working securely, from anywhere
1. Next-generation firewall
- Internal network protection Against external threats.
- Traffic control Filtering and intrusion prevention.
- Remote monitoring With proactive alerting.
- Reporting Detailed activity reports.
2. SSL VPN for remote working
Employees access internal servers and applications over an encrypted connection, with centralised control of access and permissions. For those working away from the office, it is simple to use; for the company, the risk of remote working is reduced.
3. Redundant internet
Two connections with load balancing and automatic failover: if one operator fails, traffic moves to the other and the team keeps working without noticing.
What FreshDesign gained
- A more secure, stable network Prepared for threats and monitored.
- Remote working without compromise Encrypted remote access to internal resources.
- Continuity Operations stay up even if an internet provider fails.
- Visibility Anomalies detected and dealt with before they reach operations.
