A broadband (DSL) connection provides "always-on" high-speed Internet connectivity that has shaped the way businesses use the Internet. But with this type of connectivity also comes high risk from viruses and hackers. Businesses need to use firewalls and anti-virus programs to protect themselves from malicious intruders that at the very worst can deactivate an Internet connection and at the very least is a constant daily nuisance.
Equipment can be very costly and complex to understand, install and maintain. Also, the responsibility for this equipment normally rests with the buyer of the Internet service.
This has all changed with the introduction of Primus Secure DSL.
Primus has created a DSL product that offers security as well as speed. It has embedded a firewall and anti-virus/anti-spam filters within its network so that the Internet connection you receive is already protected.
How Does it Work?
Primus has partnered with Check Point Software Technologies and Trend Micro to provide these sophisticated protection and cost-effective services. We have installed firewall infrastructure from Check Point with technology normally only available to major corporations. This provides each customer with their own virtual firewall at a fraction of the cost of having a single dedicated device.
Customers subscribing to this service will now have their Internet traffic automatically redirected through the firewall to their site without slowing down their connection.
Internet traffic is typically e-mail. The firewall can also direct your e-mail through our custom-built anti-virus and anti-spam service using the latest software from Trend Micro, trapping viruses, spam and trojans, long before they ever reach your core business operations.
What are the benefits?
Cost Savings
Right now your business pays for all the Internet traffic that reaches your site regardless of whether it is wanted or not. Under this cost structure, your business reaches its monthly allowance quickly and could even incur excess charges.
Using Primus Secure DSL, traffic is stopped within our network. It never counts towards your allowance. This saves you money on excess charges and allows you to download more of the information your business needs.
Best in Class
Primus Secure DSL uses equipment that is commonly used by very large corporations and is one of the best technologies available in the world today. Check Point Software and Trend Micro are leaders in their fields. Together, they bring their technology within reach of small business that typically lacks the resources of big business but still needs robust and reliable technology at a cost-effective price.
Truly Simplifying Security
Primus Secure DSL is very attractive because we do all the work for you. There’s nothing for a customer to install, manage or keep updated. We manage the equipment on a 24 x 7 basis and apply patches and updates within minutes of their release.

Primus Secure DSL service comes in two main versions depending on your individual network requirements.
