Elefire core services are the
Administration and Management of
Firewalls and Intrusion Detection systems.
We currently provide management services for
- Checkpoint Firewall-1
- Netscreen
- Cisco Pix
This is specifically
geared for the client who has already made a significant
investment in the purchase of these products, and
who would prefer to outsource the task of continuous upgrades
as well as the administrative chore of archiving and analysing
log files.
In addition, Elefire is pleased to be able to offer complete solutions of
hardware and software utilising leading-edge
Open Source Firewall methodology and
Open Source Intrusion Detection systems.
Properly deployed, Open Source solutions can offer a better value over
commercial products. Any given project will be allocated only so much
of your budget. Any IT project involves at least product selection,
testing, installation, and then on-going administration and maintenance.

It is important to remember that nearly all firewall products can be
effective if used properly. The choice is really not one of which
product to use, but of how much budget to allocate to administration
and maintenance.
It is fairly common to find that more budget has been spent on product
than on administration and maintenance.
And the statistics show that one of the primary causes of security
breaches is failure to administer and maintain systems.
By not paying for expensive product more budget is available for
on-going administration and maintenance.
In fact, by using Open Source it is possible to have very resilient
and robust systems, utilising redundant equipment, and adhere to
"Best Practice" advice, at a price to fit your budget.
Whether commercial or Open Source packages are used, Elefire provides
its clients with the highest levels of service before, during and after
every project. Our internal quality and control procedures, as well as
our commitment to standards, ensure this optimum service.
