Network Control

☂️ Meets cyber security insurance requirement

What is it?

Network Control acts as a firewall for endpoints and servers, providing comprehensive oversight of network traffic to safeguard your devices. With crafted policies, granular access is manageable based on factors such as IP addresses, designated keywords, agent verification, or dynamic Access Control Lists (ACLs).

Why it's important?

The corporate firewall is no more the only way to stop unauthorized network access. Users are not only working from the office but also remotely, meaning that the network we all utilize has quickly become the internet. This dissolution of the perimeter leaves devices and data vulnerable and exposed to cyber threats. This is why you need controls on network traffic in place to protect your device and, by extension, your data. You can achieve this by choosing Core+ and enabling Network Control with Puma’s Managed IT Services.

How it works:

Puma’s engineers deploy Network Control and configure it to allows for centralized firewall policy management across all endpoints. Whenever a connection request arises, it verifies whether the requesting endpoint has authorization. Upon confirmation, it activates the desired port on the device. Devices that haven't been granted access remain unaware of the open port's existence. Upon the time rule being met, the port automatically closes 5 minutes or after it is no longer in use by an authorized device.
