Security by obscurity
Whether you're looking to safeguard a home-based office or an enterprise-class network, Sprint Network-based Firewall Services can help keep your systems safe by virtually covering your tracks. Network Address Translation (NAT) and Port Address Translation (PAT) masks the true IP addresses within your network, effectively cloaking your intellectual assets from outside hackers.
Sprint Network-based Firewall Services ensure a safer access environment by creating an encrypted tunnel for data packets. Packets are routed for maximum security, through this encrypted tunnel, to a pre-determined destination for decryption.
