Introduction
A firewall is the first line of defense against cyber threats, but a Managed Firewall Service ensures it is always configured, updated, and monitored to protect your business. SolveForce delivers carrier-grade Managed Firewall solutions—both hardware appliances and cloud-based firewalls—fully integrated with Fiber DIA, Ethernet, MPLS, SD-WAN, VPNs, 5G, and Satellite networks.
With 24/7 NOC/SOC monitoring, proactive patching, intrusion prevention, and Zero Trust integration, SolveForce Managed Firewall Services provide secure, resilient, and compliant network protection across nationwide and international footprints.
I. What is a Managed Firewall?
A Managed Firewall is a fully outsourced security service where SolveForce designs, deploys, configures, and manages the firewall infrastructure on your behalf:
- Configuration & Policy Management: Rules, zones, VLANs, and segmentation.
- Monitoring: Real-time traffic analysis, intrusion attempts, and anomaly detection.
- Updates & Patching: Ensures signatures and firmware remain up-to-date.
- High Availability: Redundant firewalls for mission-critical workloads.
- Compliance: Audit-ready policies aligned to HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOC 2, ISO 27001, and NIST.
II. Types of Firewalls
🖥️ Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW)
- Deep Packet Inspection (DPI).
- Application control, IPS/IDS, anti-malware.
- TLS/SSL inspection for encrypted traffic.
☁️ Cloud Firewall
- Firewall as a Service (FWaaS) in the cloud.
- Integrated with cloud providers and SaaS applications.
- Ideal for hybrid and multi-cloud deployments.
🛡️ Unified Threat Management (UTM)
- Bundled security (firewall + IPS/IDS + AV + content filtering).
- Common in SMB and distributed branch networks.
🏢 On-Premise Firewall
- Physical firewall appliances installed at the data center, HQ, or branch.
- Fully managed, patched, and monitored by SolveForce.
III. Firewall Features & Capabilities
- Stateful & Stateless Packet Filtering
- Application-Layer Inspection (Layer 7)
- IPS/IDS — Intrusion Prevention & Detection
- Content Filtering & Web Security
- VPN Termination (IPsec/SSL/WireGuard)
- Threat Intelligence Integration
- Zero Trust Segmentation Enforcement
- High Availability Pairs
