Hardware/Software

What is a Firewall, and do you need one?
A firewall is something that prevents unwanted traffic from entering/exiting your system(s). This can be a distinct piece of hardware separate from the protected system(s) or software installed on what is being protected. In most cases a software firewall is sufficient for home users. However, a hardware solution is almost always the correct option for any business. We help businesses identify the “weak link” in their security, and sometimes beefing things up means putting a dedicated firewall at each remote user’s location. If you log in from a home system with no security, that can bypass the best security your business location has in place. The size, capabilities and features of the firewall needed can be determined by consulting with your dedicated technology professionals at FNI. Our partnerships with leading hardware and software security leaders allow us to find the right fit for our customers quickly and reliably.
