Premises-based Firewall

AT&T Premises-based Firewall Service is a fully managed, network security service that provides the first layer of defense between a local area network (LAN) and the Internet. Premises-based Firewall Service includes all hardware and software components, configuration, installation, and day-to-day management and maintenance as well as expert customer support and proactive network monitoring.

You can choose from several Premises-based Firewall Service solutions to meet your business requirements. They include systems from industry-leading providers from Fortinet®, Check Point®, Palo Alto Networks®, Cisco® and Juniper Networks®.

As part of the Premises-based Firewall Service, you can define your own security policy and tailor the solution to meet your business needs. The service also includes high-availability configurations, multi-gigabit throughput capacity, and advanced reporting.

Your devices are actively managed and monitored by AT&T security professionals, 24x7, from AT&T’s Security Operation Centers (SOCs). AT&T SOCs are highly secure, fully redundant sites, equipped with emergency backup power and advanced security technologies. AT&T Security professionals apply their extensive knowledge to monitor and respond to possible threats in the network.

Managed Security — AT&T manages all phases of your firewall deployment. We can help design, configure and manage your firewall. AT&T Premises-based Firewall Services provide an alternative to self-management which can be capital and labor intensive.

Proactive Monitoring—AT&T actively manages and monitors your firewalls 24x7 from the AT&T SOCs. Our SOCs collect data, observe network traffic and perform analysis against known vulnerabilities, helping to mitigate the threat. As a result, you benefit from AT&T security expertise and technology.

Next-Generation Capabilities—Many of the AT&T-managed Premises-based Firewall solutions are capable of delivering next-generation capabilities such as Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS), Web-Filtering, Anti-Virus, and Application Control. Next-generation firewalls use deep packet inspection and application awareness to provide a more complete and efficient protection than traditional stateful inspection firewalls.
