Managed firewalls monitor and control network traffic based on security rules. They act as a barrier between your internal network and external threats, blocking unauthorised access while allowing legitimate communication, thereby protecting your network from potential attacks.
Endpoint protection involves securing individual devices such as computers, smartphones, and tablets from threats. It includes antivirus software, anti-malware, and firewalls installed on each device to prevent attacks and protect sensitive data.
A managed VPN (Virtual Private Network) encrypts your internet connection, providing a secure tunnel for data transmission. This ensures that remote employees can safely access your network and data without risking exposure to cyber threats.
Encryption protects data by converting it into a secure format that can only be read by authorised parties. It is essential for securing sensitive information during transmission and storage, ensuring that data remains confidential and protected from unauthorised access.
Network monitoring involves continuously observing network traffic for unusual activities or potential threats. It helps detect and respond to security incidents in real time, ensuring that any suspicious activities are identified and addressed promptly.
Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) monitor network traffic for signs of malicious activity and alert you to potential threats. Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) go a step further by actively blocking detected threats, helping to prevent attacks before they can impact your network.
We implement secure access solutions such as managed VPNs and endpoint protection to ensure that remote employees can safely access your network. We also provide guidance on secure remote work practices to maintain network integrity.
