firewall microsoft azure virtual private networks (vpn) business requirements researchWhat you’ll do
You will assist Mayk to research, compare, test and implement a new firewall and vpn.
Problem Definition
Our current firewall solution has limitations, and we want to increase the throughput of our VPN capabilities. We want the firewall to have the ability to pass through and split horizon multiple VPN profiles. Our current throughput is lower than what we need at an adequate security, and we want our solution to be faster without sacrificing security. Our current solution also offers no options for Azure integration. The solution should also help us with accessing client sites, because currently our VPN is routed individually. If all systems were routed through the office, we could more easily be whitelisted.
Project Objective
Recommend, test and implement an appropriate firewall and vpn upgrading our existing infrastructure.
