You are here: Home / blog / Thankful for Firewalls
Hey — give it up for the hardest workers in the room

You may know that we offer the best Cloud, Colocation and Network circuits in the business — but did you know that we can defend your network and manage your firewalls?

We all have a lot to be thankful for tomorrow, Thanksgiving Day, here in the United States. (The holiday is celebrated as “American Thanksgiving” by many of our customers in Canada looking for a second pie-related holiday pretext) — but on the third Wednesday of every November, the day before Thanksgiving, we at Atlantic Metro like to take a moment to thank the hardest working piece of gear in the shop — the firewalls. (We’re partial to Palo Alto’s, but don’t tell anyone we play favorites)

Managed Firewalls as a service is here, and it’s just as comforting as gravy on potatoes. You never have to worry about hardware updates or capex again. And more importantly, if something dire happens to your traffic while you’re trying to spend time with family, our engineers (eating turkey subs all day at our two redundant NOCs) will be there to take care of it for you.

Jokes aside — Threats to your network are more salient and dangerous than ever. Even on your holiday time. It has become a reality of our industry that passive measures and monitoring are no longer enough. Atlantic Metro offers comprehensive security management approaches that offer you the hardware and oversight you need — but also top engineers ready for action when things get dire. It’s like having Montgomery Scott and the Enterprise’s engineering team on standby. (Except we don’t wear red shirts — too dangerous)

The Hardware is Just The First Step — 

Firewalls play a huge role in building a robust security program, but procuring a new model and plugging it in is just “the start of the beginning.” Managing a Firewall and keeping your company protected is a big job — and it takes some real effort to stay on top of best practices, optimal configurations, patching, updating, monitoring compliance. You know the drill. There is a lot of risk and visibility if something goes wrong. We can help.
 
Managing infrastructure security is a constantly evolving challenge that requires dedicated professionals who are committed to staying on top of their game. Basically — if you take a few months off to focus on another skillset or project, you’ll certainly have missed something critical, dangerous and imminently threatening. Atlantic Metro offers comprehensive security management approaches that offer you both the information and oversight you need — but also engineers at your call who can fix things when go wrong.

  • 24/7 MONITORING KEEPS YOU BULLETPROOF: We provide around the clock monitoring of your devices and any threats that may arise. Leveraging our resources and expertise makes you more secure — and saves you time and effort.
  • EXCELLENT SUPPORT: Atlantic Metro offers a superior support experience and demonstrably faster resolution times.
