GCFA will monitor and manage all customer-owned wireless access points (APs) and associated access controllers through several offered services.  GCFA will manage all customer-owned Local Area Network (LAN) switching equipment. Switching technologies are crucial to network design.

GCFA can also install and manage complete firewall services for the customer. Firewalls help ensure your network security and protection, and availability of resources by protecting the network infrastructure against attacks, viruses, and worms.

This service includes both Firewall Failover and Intrusion Prevention Sensor and Alerts.

GCFA works with cloud-delivered security services with integrated services routers (ISR). It provides the first layer of defense against threats at "branch" offices. This is especially helpful for conferences, for example, needing to protect data that may be accessed from camps or district offices. It also provides a layer of security for remote workers accessing systems. As part of this service, GCFA's staff will maintain visibility and enforcement at the DNS layer to be able to block requests to malicious domains and IP addresses before a connection is ever made.
