This article is about Managed Firewall Services and lists Megapath as only one of three companies that offered network-based managed firewall services.  That’s actually pretty good, because when you get your wire to your business already clean, there’s less management involved with the customer-premises equipment (CPE).  It’s also more upgradable because all the work is done in the core instead of at the edge.

In this year’s survey, 13 managed firewall offerings were CPE-based, while 6 were also available with hosted CPE. Just three surveyed providers (AT&T, MegaPath, and Perimeter) offered network-based managed firewall services. AT&T’s network-based offering was the only link-dependent firewall in this year’s survey.
