Firewall Installation Solutions
Nearly all firewalls are purchased with security in mind, but the manner of security
is rarely defined. ECCT’s Security Engineers analyze how a network is
used and then design security solutions to protect it. ECCT Firewall Solutions
are designed on the Default Deny Principal. Default Deny is a type of firewall rule
set in which the default condition of the firewall is to deny ALL connectivity -
from anywhere, to anywhere. This means that the default; setting, configuration,
access level, service availability is set to deny access. Access
is then given on an as-needed basis for both ingress and egress traffic.
Access is only granted when absolutely needed and authorized.
