Advanced Firewall Clause Samples
The Advanced Firewall clause establishes requirements for implementing enhanced network security measures to protect data and systems from unauthorized access or cyber threats. Typically, this clause mandates the use of sophisticated firewall technologies, such as intrusion detection and prevention systems, and may specify configuration standards or monitoring protocols. Its core practical function is to reduce the risk of security breaches by ensuring robust perimeter defenses are in place, thereby safeguarding sensitive information and maintaining compliance with industry standards.
Advanced Firewall. Advanced Firewalling applies when servers are connected to Combell’s redundant Firewall Infrastructure (hardware firewall cluster). During the initial setup, the configuration of the firewalls is determined. Traffic via the following ports is admissible: POP3 (110), SMTP (25), HTTP (80), FTP (21), Remote Desktop (3389), Plesk (8443), MySQL (3306) and MS SQL (1433). By default, not all ports are opened. Upon the Customer’s request via e-mail, traffic via some of the abovementioned ports can be authorised. The Customer is free to have changes made in the configuration without extra cost, provided that he can explain why he wants these ports to be open. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ always reserves the right to refuse certain changes. For this, the Customer shall contact Combell. A maximum of fifty firewall rules (objects) can be set per server.
