Security and access flexibility are opposing concepts - getting the balance right requires a great understanding of business requirements before technological options can be considered.

Many "IT" resellers have a single "firewall" product that they recommend for all situations - why? because that is the "product" that they understand best, or make the most margin out of.  Security is not a product - it is process that needs to be understood. 

Take the example of leaving home to go on holidays - you wouldn't turn on the alarm and leave the doors and windows open - that wouldn't make a lot of sense.  The same applies to business computer systems.  A single device in the absence of appropriate monitoring, management and policies will provide nothing more than a warm fuzzy feeling and $ missing from your business bottom line.

So what do I need to do? 

Think!!! 
Unsurprisingly, most business owners already intuitively know where their greatest security risks lie - use this information as the basis of a requirements list of musts and contact Microsolve - we can help you put this list into a comprehensive security policy that may well include some targeted bits of computing technology - but as part of a process - rather than a single device solution.
