MSPs looking to change up their game to address security, privacy and confidentiality trends for SMB customers distributed around the country should take a look at Untangle.
The Untangle NG Firewall is GDPR-compliant and incorporates two-factor authentication, centralised management for secure and remote access as well as a range of alerts. These features ease management of customers across a distributed network of sites — as Chad McNaughton, Untangle technical marketing engineer, explains.
« Untangle leverages a fully cloud supported console which gives MSPs alerting, day-to-day deep analysis and a dashboard style high-level review, enabling you to ensure at a glance that nothing is out of place, » he says.
« Should an end-user site go offline or be hit with some malicious activity, Untangle alerts the MSP immediately to take action. Again, showcasing the multi-layer approach to protecting you and your network. »
Craig Sharp, founder of endpoint protection, internet security, and firewalling services provider Abussi, points out that businesses spread across different locations often need a way to ‘talk’ across the network. With NG Firewall, Abussi can easily link each site via a secure tunnel, ensuring traffic is fully encrypted.
For example, one customer has two locations spread across the UK in Cambridge and Swindon, with 60 seats at each site. Abussi deployed an instance of NG Firewall at each location, using OpenVPN and Policy Manager to enforce rules and prioritise business-critical applications.

With NG Firewall, Abussi can oversee bandwidth usage as well as configure policies not just by day and time but also by user, by specific device or by user groups.
« Untangle has a brilliant product ideal for MSPs looking for a cost-effective solution for their SME customers, » says Sharp, in the Untangle case study here.
Untangle’s McNaughton adds: « The Untangle product line is meant to secure all areas of a network and with the addition of an MSP, you are getting a full-service support style approach to additional security — and you can meet audit and compliance requirements with the click of a few buttons. »
