Network security for any network attached to the Internet deserves your strongest consideration. Once a port becomes open on a cheap consumer firewall or in consumer firewall software on a pc, without the traffic through the port being subject to monitoring and remediation, a severe security liability exists. The fault can lie with the remote access software installation routine or whomever opened the port on the physical firewall. Unfortunately, courts generally decide on fault.

When we do remote access with any product, we make sure that a Unified Threat Management device sits between the local computer/network resources and the Internet. We do the same when working with networks that have credit card functionality inside them, like a small store or restaurant to help maintain PCI compliance.

Both SonicWall and Cisco have good videos on the subject. Learn how UTM can help your business; from Cisco or SonicWall
