Context
A managed firewall is a type of network security solution that combines hardware or software firewalls with a management service. This service can be provided by either a third-party vendor or an internal IT team. The primary goal of a managed firewall is to provide robust security while simplifying the management and operation of the firewall itself. In this blog, we’ll delve into the concept of managed firewalls, their key features and benefits. A managed firewall is a firewall solution that is actively monitored, configured, and maintained by a dedicated team or service provider. Unlike traditional firewalls, which require in-house IT staff to handle configuration and management, a managed firewall offers ongoing support and oversight from a managed service provider (MSP) or a specialised security team.
