Security

PAETEC's MPLS VPN (Multiprotocol Label Switching Virtual Private Network) is based on an inherently secure industry standard protocol for transferring data and connecting wide-area networks. In fact, our MPLS VPNs exist entirely on PAETEC's advanced, highly controlled network, meaning:

• Your data never enters the public telecom system
• Your VPN is completely separate from the networks of other users, so your information remains secure

Our Network Firewall and Managed CPE Firewall with UTM (United Threat Management) are two advanced options for effective firewall network security. Between them, they offer significant benefits that include:

• The option of using them individually or together for a layered security solution offering additional protection
• The maintenance-free protection of a Network Firewall that lives completely within the PAETEC network
• The additional layers of hacker-combating security of our DMZ Management and Intrusion Protection Services, available with PAETEC's Managed CPE Firewall solution

With threats to networks growing more complex every day, firewalls just aren't enough to keep you protected. The next-generation of network security is intrusion protection, a smarter, more in-depth defense which uses deep packet inspection to gain additional knowledge about and act upon certain traffic patterns. PAETEC offers Network Firewall and IDPS (Intrusion Detection and Prevention System) for customers who need to protect their entire network. For the single-site customer, or for those who prefer a premises-based security solution, the Managed CPE Firewall features industry-leading, signature-based IPS (Intrusion Prevention Sensors) developed specifically to address the tight constraints in compliance standards such as PCI DSS.

Need to securely connect your off-site employees or partners to your network? PAETEC's Remote Access VPN, which users can access through any existing Internet connection, may be the answer.

You can also subscribe to one of PAETEC's Managed Fraud Protection services, which shield you from remote international toll fraud charges should hackers gain access to your PBX (Private Branch Exchange) phone system.
