Internet Connections Improve Bandwidth Utilization, Secure Networks

Firewalls scan the data transmission between a company's computer network and the Internet. They are the most widely used computer security solution to date. So what's the problem? They may leave your system vulnerable to Denial of Service attacks and other methods employed in the hacker community to consume your bandwidth.

Time Warner Telecom has developed a network-based firewall to remove unauthorized traffic from the public Internet before it reaches a company's connection. This "clean from the cloud" solution provides protection for the 65,535 ports on the Internet. It uses Layer 3 Stateful Packet Inspection to dynamically filter packets of data while tracking each and every session. Attacks are stopped before they affect your service.

Recognizing the costs and the rising demand for bandwidth capacities, Time Warner Telecom's service cleans the traffic before it ever reaches your connection — saving your Internet bandwidth for working traffic. In addition, our network-based firewall provides an extra layer of detection, alert and mitigation of potentially crippling Denial of Service and Distributed Denial of Service attacks.

The security device for Time Warner Telecom's network-based firewall resides within its IP POP, so unauthorized traffic never reaches your metropolitan Internet connection point. Our IP backbone architecture consists of core backbone routers connected by multiple, diverse high-speed optical circuits ranging from OC-12 to OC-192. Its local Internet points of presence are connected via diversely routed circuits and packet-over-SONET architecture from core routers to form regional IP networks. These networks interconnect to form Time Warner Telecom's national IP backbone. Additional local and regional circuits are dedicated for private and public peering arrangements to ensure high quality IP traffic management.

This carrier-class security solution is now available to companies of all sizes. The service is scaleable to varying Internet bandwidth requirements and custom configured to satisfy differing security needs.

Time Warner Telecom security services are managed around the clock by a dedicated team of security professionals. Information security includes policy, process, procedure, best practices, familiarity with incident response, mitigation, extensive hacking technologies and counter measures. Companies can choose services that include free security policy changes and monthly executive reports detailing incidents the firewall intercepted.
