Currently, over 80% of Internet users fear being targeted by hackers. Subscribers are now demanding a more secure, hassle-free Internet experience and are looking to their ISPs for security services including easy-to-use firewalls. The market for firewall solutions is experiencing a linear increase in scale as users become more proactive in acquiring security solutions for their systems. Adept has incorporated hosted firewalls solutions and retails Cisco ASA and GTA firewalls. These are offered as outright purchase models and leased models with managed and unmanaged options.

How does it work?
A computer has over 65,000 ports (backdoors) that allow access to programs such as email clients, web browsers and Instant Messaging services. Hackers scan the Internet in search of computers that are unsecured and enter through these unprotected ports in order to access personal data and files. A typical subscriber with a high speed Internet connection will receive an average of 30 port scans every day. A Firewall can secure these ports and provides subscribers with complete control by blocking all unauthorised access to their computers. It acts as a guard, blocking hackers from entering subscriber computers and using them to send personal data out of their computer without authorisation.

Without a firewall, malicious intruders can steal subscriber files and private information, damage their systems, secretly monitor their activities or stealthily harness their computers to perform illegal attacks on third-parties. A managed firewall service is a critical part of an overall security solution to provide consumers with solid protection and peace of mind.
