Excaliber Firewall Services
How can you provide connectivity to the Internet from the office without compromising sensitive data and corporate resources? The goal of a firewall is to open a single door to the Internet and control passage through the door. A firewall can also control passage within the Intranet to protect systems and databases within areas of responsibility. Excaliber's Firewall Services provide the installation and implementation assistance necessary for a smooth and successful transition within your client/server environment.
Our computer and network security solution includes such products as Watchguard, Checkpoint's Firewalls, eSafe's ViruSafe Virus and Vandal Checker, NetPartner's WebSense URL screener, Security Dynamics ACE/Server and SecurID Token Authentication for access authentication, and Wordtalk's WorldSecure Server email firewall and security policy management.
