Firewall & Network Security

Managed next-generation firewalls with intrusion prevention, web filtering and secure remote access.

SEC-06

What this service covers

Your firewall is the front door of your network. A consumer router or a firewall nobody has logged in to since it was installed leaves that door open. We supply or take over a business-grade next-generation firewall (NGFW) and manage it as part of your service.

That includes intrusion prevention, web content filtering, geo-blocking, secure VPN or zero-trust access for remote staff, and sending firewall logs to a security information and event management (SIEM) platform so suspicious activity is spotted and kept for investigations.

Common questions

Do we need to buy a new firewall?

Not always. If your current one is supported and capable, we take it over.
