IPS signatures detect and block known attack patterns, protecting your network from exploits and malicious traffic.

Frequently asked questions
Which firewall brands do you work with?
We primarily deploy Fortinet FortiGate, which offers excellent performance and security at a competitive price. We also support Cisco, Palo Alto, and SonicWall.
Do I need a firewall if I have antivirus?
Yes. Antivirus and firewalls serve different purposes. A firewall controls network traffic at the perimeter, while antivirus protects individual endpoints. Both are essential layers of a defence-in-depth security strategy.
Can you set up VPN for our remote workers?
Yes. We configure SSL VPN and IPSec VPN for remote access, with MFA integration to ensure only authorised users can connect.
How often should firewall rules be reviewed?
We recommend a full firewall policy review at least annually, and after any significant changes to your network or business. Outdated rules are a common security risk.
