Managed Security Service Features

• Remotely Managed Firewall - LightEdge installs the firewall equipment, then remotely monitors and manages the firewall appliance and policies from our carrier-class Network Operations Center.
  
  
• Dynamic Packet Filtering with Stateful Inspection - Dynamic packet filtering with stateful inspection is a firewall architecture that works at the network layer. Unlike static packet filtering, which examines a packet based on the information in its header, stateful inspection examines both the header and the contents of the packet up through the application layer. A stateful inspection-based firewall also monitors the state of the connection and compiles the information in a state table. Because of this, filtering decisions are based not only on administrator-defined rules (as in static packet filtering), but also on context that has been established by prior packets that have passed through the firewall.
  
  
• Event Detection with E-mail Notification - Managed security solutions detect certain types of network attacks and provide real-time e-mail notification to you and the LightEdge NOC. These e-mail notifications contain the time and date of the event and the originating location of the offender.
  
  
• Traffic Management - Traffic management allows administrators to monitor, analyze and allocate bandwidth utilized by various types of network traffic in real time, ensuring business-critical traffic is never compromised. Administrators can manage traffic based on IP address, user, application or time of day. They can also set guaranteed and maximum bandwidth and prioritize traffic with up to eight priority levels.
  
  
• Professional Policy Implementation - LightEdge will implement your security policies in the most secure way possible, and will work with you to minimize the impact of any policy you need to implement. Our security experts have implemented thousands of policies and can help you determine the best approach to meet your security goals.
  
  
• Proactive Monitoring, 24/7/365 - LightEdge NOC staff monitors your firewall for availability and alerts that it may generate 24 hours per day, 365 days per year.
  
  
• Professional Administration & Support - Network security is a specialized discipline, and hiring and keeping a security expert is becoming increasingly difficult. LightEdge has an experienced staff of security engineers trained by the equipment manufacturers. Support is available when you need it and provided by people who understand the sensitive and often urgent nature of your requests.
