Security

As technology has driven greater productivity, it also creates additional demands to maintain layers of security. Catastrophic data losses and resulting costs to your business can come from relatively invisible sources, such as database vulnerabilities, configuration issues, and access control problems. CenturyLink's security solutions can help protect your business against threats like these with a portfolio of solutions designed to ensure a better data security system.

Secure IP Gateway

Maintaining a private network and securely connecting to the public Internet can be a concern. A secure IP gateway from CenturyLink provides a network-based firewall that diverts traffic from a private MPLS network to another network-based firewall where customer-defined security policies are enforced. So you no longer need to maintain separate network ports and premise-based firewall services.

Some of its benefits include:

Cost-effective solution for enterprise locations requiring access to both the public Internet and the corporate WAN
Reduced networking complexity
Lower OPEX and CAPX by outsourcing management of firewall to CenturyLink
