Access Control

You can defend your firm's network, applications and hosted environment with a Juniper Networks® firewall, managed by a professional team of security experts. Star's security solutions are designed to address the security requirements of your business, with a dedicated firewall to protect your network and server environment against online threats.

Attack protection

With inbuilt industry-standard 'Stateful Packet Inspection' your firewall will store information on every connection made from start to finish. By storing this information your firewall will be able to determine the validity of the packets involved in each established session.

Superior Networking

Your Managed Firewall is optimised for maximum performance and feature integration and by being designed on top of robust and secure network it gives you more varied and better deployment choices. For security you get real-time operating systems; Juniper Networks JUNOS® Software and ScreenOS. An Accesspoint Managed Firewall is designed to provide your business with superior networking and security capabilities, as the operating systems used are not plagued by the inefficiencies and vulnerabilities typically associated with general-purpose operating systems.

High Performance

Using the Juniper Networks® Secure Services Gateway (SSG) 5, 20, 140, 520 and 550 your firewall is purpose built to deliver the perfect blend of performance and security.
