Hackers Don’t Wait for Renewals, So Why Are You?

If you’re waiting until your firewall’s renewal date, you’re just asking to become a target.

When was the last time you checked your firewall’s end of life date? Don’t wait until this date to renew your firewall. It’s imperative that your firewall is renewed at least one month before the end of life date. 

Firewalls act as a barrier between secure and unsecured networks. They enforce access control rules to determine what contents can go in and out. 

Hackers don’t wait for firewall renewal dates and you shouldn’t either. When you do, you become an easy target for attackers who constantly scan for outdated systems. The moment your firewall ends, hackers attack.

An unrenewed firewall quickly becomes a costly liability. 

Each year, companies pay thousands of dollars to remove hackers, but at this point your data is already exposed and is vulnerable. 

Now, you’re spending thousands of dollars to recover what has been damaged. It also costs you unplanned downtime and negatively impacts serving your clients and customers. 

At Polytechnic Consulting Group, we heavily emphasize renewing your firewall before its end of life to prevent any damages to your company’s data, client information and overall reputation.

Be ahead of the attack and renew your firewall at least one month in advance. Here’s how you can start:
