Managed Firewall
Only as Good as Its Management.
Most businesses already have a firewall. The real question is whether it's being actively monitored, reviewed, and maintained. As networks evolve, applications change, and new threats emerge, firewall policies need ongoing attention. Aureon provides continuous management, monitoring, and updates to help keep your firewall aligned with your business and today's security landscape.
Active protection. Not a firewall left on autopilot.
Four capabilities, one accountable team.
Security Assessment
Before making changes, Aureon evaluates your network, firewall policies, and security posture to understand how your environment operates today, identifying potential risks, validating existing configurations, and establishing a baseline for ongoing management.
Firewall Configuration
Every managed firewall starts with a hardened configuration built on industry best practices. As your business grows, policies can be adjusted to support new applications, locations, users, and connectivity needs while maintaining a strong security posture.
24/7 Monitoring
Aureon monitors your perimeter around the clock, reviewing firewall activity, security events, and alerts generated by your environment. Suspicious activity is investigated and addressed as appropriate, helping reduce the burden on your internal IT team.
Policy Maintenance
Aureon keeps your firewall current through threat intelligence updates, firmware maintenance, policy reviews, and security enhancements. As new vulnerabilities emerge, updates are applied to help keep you protected, and changes are documented for compliance and visibility.
Having a firewall is not the same as being protected.
Three questions decide whether your firewall is active defense or just a box on the rack. If you can't answer them, we should talk.
Cyber threats evolve every day. Without ongoing updates and maintenance, firewall protections can fall behind the changing threat landscape.
Aureon helps keep your firewall current through continuous threat intelligence updates, security maintenance, firmware updates, and ongoing oversight.
Even the best firewall requires ongoing attention. Without active monitoring and oversight, important alerts, security events, and emerging threats can be overlooked.
Aureon provides continuous monitoring, alert review, and operational oversight to help keep your firewall effective as threats and business requirements evolve.
Managing a business and monitoring network security are often two very different jobs. When security monitoring becomes just another task on a long to-do list, important events can be overlooked.
Aureon provides a dedicated team responsible for monitoring, maintaining, and managing your firewall, so network security doesn't depend on someone finding time to check it.

The hardware can look identical. What's in the rack tells you very little. The difference is whether someone is actively maintaining it, monitoring it, and keeping protections current as threats evolve.

Frequently Asked Questions
A firewall acts as the gatekeeper between your network and the internet, helping control which connections and traffic are allowed to reach your business. Most organizations already have a firewall in place. The difference is whether it is being actively maintained, monitored, and kept current as threats evolve.
With Aureon Managed Firewall, your firewall benefits from ongoing monitoring, threat intelligence updates, firmware maintenance, security updates, and operational oversight. The hardware may look the same, but the difference is that a dedicated team is actively working to keep protections current and watching for issues that require attention.
It depends on the firewall you have today. Aureon currently utilizes Fortinet firewalls as part of the Managed Firewall service. If you already have a Fortinet firewall in place, Aureon can review the hardware and determine whether it can be incorporated into the solution. If the equipment is unsupported, end-of-life, or does not meet service requirements, Aureon may recommend a replacement.
Aureon currently deploys and manages Fortinet firewalls as part of its Managed Firewall service. Fortinet's security capabilities, threat intelligence, and management tools align well with Aureon's operational approach and support the level of monitoring, maintenance, and oversight required by the service. If you already have a firewall in place, Aureon can review your existing environment and determine whether it can continue to meet your business and security requirements.
24/7 monitoring means your firewall is not left on its own after deployment. Aureon continuously monitors firewall activity, security alerts, threat intelligence, and system health to help identify issues that may require attention. Whether it's during the middle of the day or after business hours, our team provides ongoing oversight so someone is always paying attention to your network security.
Aureon maintains your firewall through a combination of threat intelligence updates, firmware maintenance, security updates, ongoing monitoring, and policy reviews when needed. As new threats emerge and vulnerabilities are discovered, protections are updated to help keep your firewall aligned with today's threat landscape. Configuration changes are also made as your business needs evolve, such as adding new applications, locations, or users.
No. Managed Firewall is designed to remove the burden of day-to-day firewall administration from your team. Aureon handles ongoing monitoring, maintenance, security updates, and operational oversight while keeping you informed through regular reporting. When business requirements change, Aureon works with your team to ensure the firewall continues to support your environment.
Many cyber insurance providers ask organizations to demonstrate how critical security controls are maintained and monitored. Aureon's Managed Firewall service includes ongoing monitoring, maintenance, security updates, and documented operational activity, which can help support cyber insurance applications and renewals. Specific requirements vary by carrier and policy.
Managed Firewall pricing is based primarily on two factors: the amount of bandwidth being protected and the number of users who need access to the network. These factors help determine the firewall capacity and service requirements needed to support your environment. Aureon will work with you to understand your needs and provide a clear pricing recommendation based on your specific deployment.
Implementation timelines depend on the size and complexity of the environment. Existing firewall hardware, network requirements, third-party coordination, and the availability of WAN and LAN information can all impact deployment timelines. Once the necessary information has been gathered, Aureon works to deploy the solution as efficiently as possible while ensuring the firewall is properly configured, monitored, and ready to support your business.
