Features

What you can expect

Managed and monitored firewall

We take responsibility for your firewall. The hardware is provided by Open Circe and remains in our property.

Managed and monitored network devices

We manage and monitor your network devices, like your switch and your access point.

Dual WAN

Depending on your requirements, we offer you the option of dual WAN with two independent Internet providers and line media (e.g. fiber optics and 5G). this provides you with the best possible protection against Internet outages.

Redundant firewalls

If required, you can protect yourself against hardware faults with two redundant firewalls. With this option, an additional firewall is always ready for use as standby hardware.

Site networking

If your company has multiple sites, we are happy to network them together (Site-2-site).

Remote Access (VPN)

Optionally, we provide VPN. This allows your employees to access the office network while on the road or from their home office.

Blocking IP addresses

Our standard offering already protects your network by automatically blocking “unfriendly” IP addresses.

Aktive security (IDP)

For customers with increased security requirements, we offer optional active protection through an IDP system. “Intrusion detection” is a reactive measure that detects and fends off attacks.
