Turn Firewall Expenses into Savings or Profits
Are you
paying for a Cisco or Palo Alto firewall with a VPN client like AnyConnect? Switching
to CentreStack can turn those costs into profits or savings. The amazing thing
is that CentreStack is also easier to use, faster and more secure.
Does
this sound too good to be true? Are you wondering how we can offer more
security than a VPN? And what if you’re locked in with a multi-year contract
for your VPN\Firewall? Or what if you need the VPN or even RDP to run applications?
Keep reading and we’ll address each of these issues.
Service
provider reduces firewall and VPN costs by 80%
I
recently spoke with one of our MSP partners. They had a large law firm as a
client. The firm was using a Cisco Firewall and the AnyConnect VPN client to
allow remote workers to access files. After switching 115 users to CentreStack,
costs were reduced by more than 80%. More importantly, it was a much simpler experience
for remote workers which eliminated VPN-related tickets.
How
can CentreStack increase security when compared to a VPN?
Here
are a few examples of the security benefits that come from using CentreStack to
replace or augment a VPN
1.
You no longer have
to allow unmanaged endpoints on your corporate network to provide remote
access.
2.
Attack surface is
reduced since remote connections are restricted to port 443, protected by SSL
encryption and traffic flows through a CentreStack server in the DMZ.
3.
CentreStack’s remote
endpoints are centrally controlled through group policies, auditing and
reporting
4.
The CentreStack
agents provide device management features like remote wipe and policy based
access.

What
if I can’t replace my firewall because I’m locked in by a multi-year contract?
If your
firewall/VPN contract ends within 6 months, you can use CentreStack for free
until the renewal date. Please contact us to discuss the details.
What
if I need VPN or RDP to run an application on the desktop?
