Your firewall is your network’s first line of defense, but it only stays effective when it is configured correctly, kept up to date and watched continuously. Virstack provides managed firewalls that combine next-generation firewall technology with 24/7 monitoring and specialist support, giving you strong protection without adding to your team’s workload.
Choose a fully managed service, or a co-managed service if your team wants to stay hands-on. Coverage, monitoring and response responsibilities depend on the service and tier you select, and are agreed before onboarding.
A managed firewall is a next-generation firewall that is deployed, configured, monitored and maintained for you by a specialist security team. It blocks unauthorized access, filters harmful traffic and shows you who and what is using your network.
Owning a firewall is not enough on its own. Rules drift, firmware falls behind and alerts go unread. A managed service keeps your protection current and lets your internal team focus on the business.
- 24/7 Monitoring and Support: Security analysts watch performance, traffic patterns and potential security incidents around the clock, and cases are opened automatically when alerts are triggered.
- Updates and Configuration Changes: We handle firmware updates, rule and policy changes and user access support, so your firewall stays secure and optimized.
- Fully Managed or Co-Managed: Hand off firewall management completely, or keep control of day-to-day decisions with expert support behind your team.
- Reporting and Log Retention: Regular reports on network health, security events, bandwidth usage and VPN activity, with log retention to support audits and investigations.
- Compliance Support: Auditing and controls that support requirements such as HIPAA and PCI DSS as part of your wider compliance program.
- Threat Detection and Response: An optional higher service level adds real-time threat detection, analysis and rapid containment.
- Expert-Led Deployment: Certified engineers design and pre-configure your firewall around your requirements, with onsite or remote installation, project management and a documented runbook.
- 24/7 Monitoring and Management: Once live, your firewall is monitored continuously using automated analytics and expert oversight. Updates, changes and support requests are handled by the security team.
- Ongoing Optimization and Reporting: Regular reporting, lifecycle and compliance tracking and advisory guidance keep your firewall strategy aligned with your business.
- Scale as You Grow: Add high availability, managed detection and response, SD-WAN, switching and Wi-Fi as your needs evolve, without replacing what you already have.
- One Partner for Network and Security: Firewalls are one part of a secure network. We can bring firewalls, switching, Wi-Fi, endpoint protection and secure access together in one coordinated plan.
- Flexibility to Fit Your Team: Fully managed or co-managed, scoped around your internal capabilities and the level of control you want to keep.
- Rapid, Reliable Deployment: Pre-configured devices, remote or onsite installation and clear project management from order to go-live.
- Already Have a Firewall?: We can review how well your current setup is performing and recommend practical improvements before you change anything.
