Welcoming these devices into our homes and offices may seem great in terms of remaining current but they also create greater risk of falling victim to cyber-attacks. “Users are often so taken back at technological innovations that they forget about the fact that as technology evolves and becomes more advanced, so does cybercrime,” says Gerhard Gouws.
Thanks to Stormshield’s extensive range of network security solutions, choosing the right firewall to cyber-serenise your business is as simple as asking yourself three primary questions:

When comparing Stormshield’s product range, users need to consider both firewall and IPS throughput, network connectivity and the number of VPN tunnels required.
