FGBB Security Measure
Firewall Function
Usually, a user takes responsibility for setting a router with firewall individually but FGBB establishes an original firewall and performs remote monitoring by Support Center.
The FGBB firewall blocks the entire building from attacks such as an illegal access so users can use computers at the same safety level.
We support users for unexpected troubles. We confirm the situation in the building and the firewall established and take appropriate measures as soon as a trouble point is found.
* It detects and shut off illegal accesses from the outside so it does not remove a computer virus (anti-virus software).
