FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions
What security solution did DataRoad install at FreshDesign?
DataRoad implemented a next-generation firewall (NGFW), an SSL VPN for secure remote access and internet redundancy with load balancing and fail-over. FreshDesign now has a more secure, stable and monitored network.
What is an SSL VPN used for in a company?
An SSL VPN lets employees reach company resources from home or on the move through a protected connection. At FreshDesign it enabled secure remote working, keeping external access under the control of the firewall.
What is internet fail-over and why does it matter?
Internet fail-over automatically moves traffic to a backup connection when the main one fails, while load balancing shares the traffic between links. This keeps the business running without visible interruptions for employees.
Does DataRoad monitor the security infrastructure after installation?
Yes. The project includes real-time monitoring, alerting and reporting, as well as ongoing maintenance and support of the security infrastructure under IT Unlimited support. Security is included in DataRoad IT Unlimited plans.
