A firewall is a device that prevents unauthorized network connections to our servers. It allows us to specifically allow only the connections we want (web, email, etc.) while blocking the traffic we don’t (hacking, viruses, etc.)

RIS has multiple firewalls all working independently and together to protect and secure our network. If one firewall were to fail, the others would pick up the slack. This setup allows RIS to provide excellent performance and outstanding reliability with its network.
