In addition to a solid network server, another part of keeping your company’s system secure is having a proper router and firewall in place. While the router ties together each computer in the office, the firewall keeps unauthorized users from accessing the company network and stealing or compromising confidential information.

Many business networks fall victim to hackers each year, which can cost a company millions in unwanted expenses. A properly maintained firewall network prevents any possible security breaches both from within and externally. It also monitors what goes out, blocks out any unwanted incoming traffic and possibly malicious attacks from malware or viruses, as well as blocks any potentially inappropriate websites.
