Are stateful firewalls what they once were? Or are they now becoming their own worst enemy? In today’s world, attackers are developing more and more complex ways to disrupt an organisation’s core business, going as far as attacking the very devices protecting your services from these very threats. An example of this is an attacker using the core vehicle of a stateful firewall as the target of a DDOS attack, thereby saturating its inspection tables and sometimes crippling it.

This does not mean that stateful firewalls have seen their day, however. On the contrary, vendors are fighting back, with even more sophisticated ways to combat the ever-increasing threats out there. But let’s not forget the key stat that the biggest threat in many environments still comes from within. TCC is aware of all of this, and we will work with you to build a robust security architecture, whether at the perimeter of your network or within your internal zones.

We believe that the foundation of a good security model begins with the definition of a clear and concise security pattern that defines the overarching security strategy of an organisation. TCC can work with you to shape and tighten these artefacts, or if required, we can help you create standards that match all of your requirements. Our consultants can also work with a number of possibilities for your infrastructure security, including policy-based firewalling, software-defined segmentation, multi-vendor firewalling or even firewalling in a virtual server environment.
