Introduction

A firewall provides a level of protection to data and resources on your network from potentially damaging intrusions.  Firewalls enforce an access control policy between two networks or between and internal network and the Internet.  Depending on their design they can prevent or permit particularly defined traffic from passing across the boundaries of your network.  You can also configure the firewall to protect information on an internal network and at the same time give your users access to the Internet.

How can ESP Help you?

Whether you have just a few hundred pounds to spend or many thousands there is a firewall to suit your budget.  The variation in cost arises because of considerations such as speed and features.  The most basic firewalls will only provide network address translation (which hides your internal network from the Internet) and cope with only a few users at the same time.  The costs start to increase as your number of simultaneous users increases and features such as stateful packet inspection and real-time monitoring are required.
