// CYBERSECURITY / NETWORK SECURITY
They have firewalls. The policy has not been touched in years.
Rule bases grow for years without cleanup, application controls go unconfigured, and encrypted traffic passes through uninspected. We design, deploy and remediate firewall policy across Cisco, Palo Alto and Fortinet, then hand it back clean, under your brand.
Start a network security conversationThe client has a firewall. Nobody has dared touch the rule base in years.
It is the same conversation at every partner. The box is there, but the rule base has grown for years without a cleanup, application-level controls were never configured, and the encrypted traffic that now makes up most of the web flows through uninspected. The team that deployed it has moved on, and the organisation has reached the point where nobody will touch the policy for fear of an outage. Meanwhile hybrid work has scattered remote access, cloud workloads need virtual and container enforcement, and NIS2 and DORA now require the network controls to be documented.
What we deploy.
NGFW Design & Deployment
Next-generation firewalls across Cisco Secure Firewall (FTD and ASA), Palo Alto PA, VM and CN-Series, and FortiGate, covering physical, virtual and container form factors on whatever mix the estate already runs.
Policy Remediation & Migration
We take on the work nobody else wants, as a scoped engagement: rule base cleanup, application-ID migration, decryption policy design and a documented optimisation pass. A periodic review is a repeat project you can book when the estate needs another pass, so the rule base stops growing scar tissue.
Multi-Device Management
Panorama and Strata Cloud Manager, FortiManager and Cisco Security Cloud Control designed, stood up and handed over as the control plane, so policy is consistent across sites instead of drifting box by box.
Encrypted Traffic Inspection
Over 95% of web traffic is now TLS-encrypted, which means uninspected by default. We design SSL/TLS decryption policies with privacy-sensitive exceptions, so inspection happens without trampling sensitive sessions.
Threat Prevention Tuning
IPS and IDS integrated with Palo Alto WildFire sandboxing and FortiGuard services, tuned to the environment rather than left on defaults that either miss threats or drown the team in alerts.
Hybrid Mesh Firewall Architecture
We design and deploy unified policy across hardware, virtual and cloud form factors, aligned to Gartner's Hybrid Mesh Firewall architecture, so a mixed estate reads as one posture instead of several disconnected ones.
Why the policy gap matters.
How the options compare.
What your client gets from a single-vendor MSSP, a major integrator, or our team under your brand.
Network security, answered straight.
01 Why support three firewall vendors instead of specialising in one?
Real estates are rarely single-vendor. Mergers, multi-site rollouts and successive hardware generations leave mixed environments behind. We work across all three major platforms so you can serve any client without forcing a rip-and-replace, which is what protects the relationship and the deal.
02 What do you deliver that a vendor support contract does not?
Cisco TAC, Palo Alto Support and FortiCare cover break-fix and technical assistance. None of them clean up your rule base, migrate application-ID, design decryption policy or modernise the architecture. We deliver that engineering as a project, on top of the support contract, not in place of it.
03 How do you handle firewall change management?
Inside your existing process. During a delivery engagement, emergency changes follow documented pre-approved procedures, standard changes go through a defined approval path, and the client team keeps visibility and override throughout. It is advisory-plus-execution for the engagement, never a black box and never an open-ended takeover.
04 How is privileged access to the firewalls controlled?
Role-based, logged and auditable, and scoped to the delivery engagement. We work under read-only access for review and time-limited privileged access for the change windows only, and the full access logs are available on request. The delivery agreement spells out exactly what we hold, for how long, and how it is used.
05 What is a Hybrid Mesh Firewall?
It is Gartner's term for an estate with several firewall form factors, hardware, virtual and cloud-delivered, brought under one unified policy. The majority of organisations now run more than one type. We design deployments to that framework using Strata Cloud Manager, FortiManager and Cisco Security Cloud Control.
06 Do you support NIS2 and DORA for network security?
Yes. NIS2 Article 21 requires documented network security controls and DORA mandates ICT risk management that includes them. Our deployments ship with documentation mapping the firewall controls to both frameworks, so you can show an assessor the evidence rather than reconstruct it later.
Tell us what your clients need.
A tri-cloud migration. A 200-site SD-WAN rollout. A security architecture before NIS2 hits. An AI system your client is asking about next quarter. We scope it, staff it, and deliver it under your brand. One conversation tells us if we are the right team.
