We created a centralized authentication system with real-time data replication across 11 offices, enhanced security using Fortigate firewalls, and improved business continuity through redundancy, resulting in increased productivity and uptime.
Web Filtering – Flow Based Antivirus
Further down the project, we redesigned the firewall strategy to follow the management’s direction. The client was looking for a way to create a distraction-free work environment where the employees wouldn’t have access to non-productive websites during working hours. This new requirement in the project book of specification, alongside the need to create a holistic data steam security, made us choose Fortigate firewall.Using Fortigate firewall at the top of each network offered us the possibility to deploy an efficient web filtering strategy and sufficient security:
We deployed a monthly automated internal network vulnerability scan – on both end-user and servers.
We created web filtering rules to ensure distraction-free work environment and maximizing internet bandwidth use by limiting the access to social networks, media streaming and other non-productive sites.
We decreased the amount of malware downloaded by users accessing internet by using an antivirus on the edge router to analyze the flow of data and stop the transfer of a potentially harmful document before reaching the end user machine.
