Security

For the latest in advanced firewall network security for your data and internal/external data transport, PAETEC offers both a Network Firewall and a Managed CPE Firewall with UTM (United Threat Management), which deliver a long list of benefits, including:

• The option of using them individually, or in tandem, as a "defense in depth" layered solution for extra security
• The maintenance-free protection of a Network Firewall that lives completely within the PAETEC network
• Geographical diversity and redundant Internet connectivity for all sites on an MPLS VPN (Multiprotocol Label Switching Virtual Private Network) with our Network Firewall
• Maintenance, management, and servicing of PAETEC's Managed CPE Firewall that can be located at your facility
• No additional equipment to purchase

PAETEC's IDPS (Intrusion Detection and Prevention System), a feature of our Network Firewall service, provides customers with many security benefits by combining the monitoring and detecting components of IDS (Intrusion Detection System) with the reactive, zero-hour components of IPS (Intrusion Prevention Sensors). If a potentially negative event is detected, the IPS and event correlation engine determine the threat level of the event based on customer-defined constraints, known intrusion signatures, and the ever-evolving event correlation database and acts accordingly within a 99.9999% SLA (Service Level Agreement) guarding against false positives.

Our Hosted E-mail Security and Hosted Web Security products provide you with centralized management and protection of your e-mail and Web traffic and offer advantages like:

• Implementation at the earliest and most effective point possible-before threats enter your network
• An effective defense against malware, spyware, viruses, and other threats
• A Hosted E-mail Security with Anti-Virus solution that virtually eliminates the possibility of data corruption occurring through e-mail

PAETEC's MPLS VPN is an IP (Internet Protocol) network that provides inherent security and redundancy, allowing you to enjoy:

• Secure access to important data and network applications for all your locations
• The protection of having your data traffic travel through PAETEC's private, national IP network
• Virtual paths that ensure your data is completely separate from that of other customers
