Star was the first technology provider in the world to develop and deliver a virtualised firewall as a service. As a proud Star partner Accesspoint has the ability to provide this service to its customers. Your IT infrastructure is fundamental to the smooth running of your business and Accesspoint partnering Star is continuously looking at new services to help improve your security, reduce downtime and shrink your costs.
 
Your network or hosted environment delivers and stores some of your most valuable assets and data. In order to guarantee that your data stays secure, Star has developed a managed virtualised firewall solution which is backed by a dedicated team of highly qualified and experienced security engineers.

How it works

The Virtualised Firewall acts as a barrier between your firms network and the Internet, keeping threats away from business critical infrastructure. We take time to understand your business requirements and a team of dedicated security engineers assist you in setting rules and policy to deliver the right access levels without compromising data integrity. Once those rules have been established only you can change them, however, we remain accountable for keeping your infrastructure secure. 
 
Virtualisation is considerably different to a shared firewall as the firewall is completely dedicated to you, and gives you all the performance levels, administration rights and flexibility of a fully dedicated appliance.
