Firewalls are essential security tools, but they require management to be effective

The risk of cyber threats continues to grow, and small businesses aren’t immune. A recent study showed 43% of all cyber attacks targeted small businesses, making cybersecurity a crucial business need for organizations of all sizes. According to Gartner, more than 60% of security incidents will be traced to misconfigured security tools. Many small businesses partner with service providers to cover these needs as they don’t have their own security staff, but even MSPs struggle to manage all the firewalls they may be supporting.
