Finally a Firewall That Offers Next Generation Security with In-Depth Visibility & Unparalleled Security

Pakuranga, New Zealand, June 02, 2016 --(PR.com)-- SOHO Systems has partnered with Westcon Group to provide small to medium-sized businesses a game-changing, next generation firewall (NGFW). This innovative firewall provides real-time provisional alertness, giving your network protectors the ability to identify cyber threats immediately.

Palo Alto Networks, the security company that designed the firewall, has taken a fresh look at preventing cyber threats. Hackers are always finding new ways to invade networks. The team at Palo Alto decided to ditch the previous research and re-architect everything from the ground up.

“This is your best shot at preventing Crypto Locker and various other sophisticated cyber threats from infecting your business,” says Darren Clayworth, owner of SOHO Systems.

This NGFW can identify and control deceptive applications within minutes. According to Kenneth Caballero, SOHO’s vendor business manager at Westcon Group, “Palo Alto’s firewall provides you with in-depth visibility and superior security.” This type of cyber security can significantly reduce costs by approximately 80% for capital expenditures. Hard operation costs such as subscriptions, it support services and HVAC/power are reduced by 65%. Clients have also enjoyed a reduction for soft operations as well.

This next-generation firewall sustains both physical and virtual deployments, as well as deployments in cloud and mobile environments. In order to protect networks from the most recent sophisticated cyber attacks and intrusions, this NGFW employs:

Website filtering

In-line deep packet inspection

SSL/SSH inspection

Quality of Service (QoS)/bandwidth

Intrusion Prevention System (IPS)

Application inspection and control while maintaining complete visibility

Cyber crime in New Zealand is on the rise. According to Symantec’s 21st Annual Internet Security Threat Report, New Zealand ranked second in having the most ransomware attacks in the Asia-Pacific area. In social media scams, New Zealand came in fourth. The results of Symantec’s 2015 research revealed that New Zealand ranked 21st globally. That is a big number for such a small country.

With over 20 years of experience providing a wide range of IT services and support for small to medium-sized businesses in Auckland, SOHO (small office, home office) Systems has a solid reputation for choosing top of the line products and offering them to businesses at a reasonable price. SOHO Systems, along with their distributor and partner, Westcon Group, offer security solutions and IT support that will give business owners peace of mind.

Statistics gathered by Symantec showed that 430.5 million new pieces of malware were created in 2015. Internet security should not be considered a defensive measure; instead, it should be viewed as a necessity, as well as a competitive edge. Benjamin Franklin said it best, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” SOHO Systems can help protect your valuable data from security breaches, while ensuring that your information remains accessible.
