Managed Firewall Services
A firewall only protects you when it is configured correctly, patched, and watched around the clock. As a WatchGuard Founding Partner and 5x WatchGuard Partner of the Year, eMazzanti runs, tunes, and monitors your firewall as a fully managed service, serving businesses across New Jersey and the NYC metro area.
What are managed firewall services?
Managed firewall services are a subscription arrangement where a security provider deploys, configures, monitors, and maintains your firewall for you, handling rule changes, firmware patching, and 24/7 threat monitoring so your network stays protected without an in-house firewall expert.
Instead of buying a firewall appliance and hoping it was set up correctly, a business gets continuous management: policy tuning, security updates, alert triage, and response, all for a predictable recurring fee. eMazzanti delivers managed firewall solutions through the e365 platform and best-in-class WatchGuard technology, so the appliance you own is actually configured, current, and watched every hour of every day.
Why an Unmanaged Firewall Leaves You Exposed
Most breaches do not happen because a business lacks a firewall. They happen because the firewall was misconfigured, outdated, or nobody was watching it. These are the gaps we see most often.
Misconfigured rules and open ports
A single overly permissive rule or a port left open after a project can hand attackers a way in, and these mistakes often go unnoticed for months.
Firmware and patches ignored
Firewalls need regular firmware updates to close known vulnerabilities. When nobody owns patching, appliances quietly fall years behind.
No 24/7 monitoring
Attacks do not wait for business hours. Without round-the-clock monitoring, alerts pile up unseen and intrusions go unanswered until damage is done.
No in-house firewall expertise
Most small and midsize businesses cannot justify a full-time security engineer, so firewall settings are left at defaults or guessed at by generalists.
Rules that never get reviewed
Networks change constantly, but firewall policies rarely get revisited. Stale rules accumulate and slowly widen your attack surface.
A fast-moving threat landscape
Ransomware, phishing payloads, and encrypted malware evolve weekly. A firewall set up once and forgotten cannot keep pace with today's threats.
How eMazzanti Delivers Managed Firewall Services
As a WatchGuard Founding Partner and 5x WatchGuard Partner of the Year, we manage your firewall end to end through e365, from initial hardening to daily monitoring, for one predictable monthly fee.
Firewall deployment and hardening
We size, deploy, and configure WatchGuard firewalls to a secure baseline, closing unused ports and replacing default settings with policies built for your network.
24/7 monitoring and response
eCare Network Management watches firewall traffic and alerts around the clock, so threats are caught and answered before they spread.
Rule management and firmware patching
We handle every rule change and keep firmware current, so your firewall management services stay aligned with how your business actually operates.
Email security at the perimeter
Because most attacks start in the inbox, we pair the firewall with our email security services for layered defense.
Backup and recovery readiness
If anything ever gets through, our Microsoft 365 backup solutions keep your data recoverable so an incident never becomes a disaster.
Cloud managed firewall options
For remote teams and multi-site businesses, we offer cloud managed firewall configurations that extend consistent policy and visibility everywhere your people work.

Managed Firewall Services: Common Questions
What is a managed firewall?
A managed firewall is a firewall that a security provider configures, monitors, patches, and maintains on your behalf. Instead of managing the appliance yourself, you get expert setup, ongoing rule management, firmware updates, and 24/7 monitoring for a predictable recurring fee.
Do I need a managed firewall if I have antivirus?
Yes. Antivirus protects individual devices after a threat reaches them, while a firewall controls traffic entering and leaving your network and blocks many threats before they land. The two work together, and a managed firewall makes sure that network-level protection is configured and watched correctly.
How much do managed firewall services cost?
Most managed firewall providers price on a monthly per-device or per-site basis, which keeps budgeting predictable. eMazzanti scopes a plan to your network size and risk profile, so you replace surprise incident costs with one steady fee.
What is a cloud managed firewall?
A cloud managed firewall is administered through a centralized cloud console rather than device by device. It lets us push consistent policy, updates, and visibility across remote workers and multiple locations, which is ideal for distributed and hybrid businesses.
Can you manage a firewall we already own?
In many cases, yes. We assess your existing appliance, and if it is supportable and current we take over configuration, patching, and monitoring. If it is outdated or undersized, we recommend a right-fit WatchGuard replacement before bringing it under management.
