    What is stc Secure Internet Service or Firewall as a Service?

    It is a comprehensively managed network-based firewall service designed to safeguard your network by delivering highly secure inbound and outbound internet access through world class firewall. Instead of residing in a conventional on-premises setup, network-based firewalls are deployed within the cloud infrastructure of the stc Bahrain. You have either have a dedicated firewall for your internet connection or a shared firewall with a common policy if you are a stc Bahrain broadband user. 

    How does stc this solution work? 

    Deployed on the stc network, this solution sits in line with a customer’s internet connection, offering enhanced performance versus many other cloud-based firewalls that require the traffic to leave the network for enforcement and on-prem solution which has multiple implications. 

    What are the primary factors that drive customers to transition from a do-it-yourself approach?

    Customers desire the evolution of their security solutions to incorporate additional features, such as application control. However, their existing firewall devices may lack the capability to support these enhancements. In such cases, integrating new functionalities into their on-premise security infrastructure might necessitate a substantial capital investment. 

    How does the consideration of costs differ when deciding between a do-it-yourself model and engaging with a firewall service provider? 

    Deploying or expanding onsite firewalls entails significant upfront capital costs for equipment and ongoing software and hardware maintenance fees, especially when extending to more users or locations. In contrast, network-based firewalls eliminate the need for additional onsite devices, sparing expenses on purchasing, installation, and dedicated staff for maintenance. Opting for a subscription-based firewall security solution transforms costs into predictable operating expenses. Moreover, there are potential savings in terms of resiliency, as providers offering a fully redundant infrastructure can replace the need for duplicating equipment, facilities, and network connections to defend against attacks. 

    Is it possible to implement my own security controls and policies with the stc Secure Internet or Firewall as a Service? 

    Certainly, you can define your security policies to align with your business and compliance requirements. stc provides the flexibility to configure the firewall service according to your specific needs, allowing you to modify policies and configurations as necessary. If you are using mobile broadband or fiber broadband service with Secure internet addon, then you do not have the capability to configure your own policies. stc has configured the optimal security features protect your network from threat.

    What level of flexibility exists for incorporating new features or functionalities into my firewall?

    The deployment of new security features and capabilities with on-premises firewalls is often constrained by the available staff for implementation, updates, and support, as well as capital limitations. In contrast, stc firewall as a Service offer the ability to swiftly activate needed features, mirroring the speed and efficiency characteristic of cloud services. This facilitates the seamless addition of essential security solutions, such as intrusion detection, malware scanning, web filtering, or application controls. This agility allows for a quicker enhancement of protection, a crucial aspect given the constantly evolving threat landscape. 
    Please note that you cannot add custom policies if you are using mobile broadband or fiber broadband service with Secure internet addon.
