Security options
Managed Firewall
A firewall is an essential component of any internet connection. A MIA Firewall from Virgin Media Business can be provided in addition to your Big Red variant of MIA service, to help secure your business releasing you from the burden of monitoring and maintaining a firewall solution.
Managed VPN
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) can be deployed in conjunction with your MIA service to provide a cost effective and secure way to connect remote sites and remote users to your networked applications and resources.
IPSec VPN access provides cost effective ways to securely connect remote sites to your centrally hosted applications and resources. Whether you’re a small organisation with a few remote sites you wish to connect, or a large organisation with many distributed sites, we can design a solution specific to your needs. By providing a secure, private tunnel between devices, it's an ideal way to extend your private network across the Internet.
SSL VPN uses a browser to establish a secure SSL connection to your internal systems. It delivers real flexibility, removing the burden of installing and maintaining software on any device and enabling precise control of end users. It’s also ideal for providing remote access for Employees, Customers and Partners from any type of end user device, from any location.
