Firewall and network security for offices
A gateway firewall between the internet and the office, VPN for staff working outside, and guest traffic kept away from the server.
An office with a server, accounts data and shared drives needs more than the ISP router's default settings. A proper firewall controls what comes in, lets staff connect securely from outside, and keeps visitors' phones off the office network.
We supply and configure firewalls from Sophos, Fortinet, SonicWall and business routers with firewall features, sized to the office and its internet lines.
Inbound and outbound rules, intrusion prevention and logging.
Secure access to office files and Tally for staff and owners outside.
Visitors online without reaching office machines.
Blocking of unwanted sites and categories on the office network.
Two internet lines with failover so the office stays online.
Common questions
Do I need a firewall if I have antivirus?
Yes. Antivirus protects the machine; the firewall protects the network and controls remote access.
Can staff access Tally from home securely?
Yes, through a VPN configured on the firewall.
Which firewall brand do you recommend?
It depends on users and budget. We quote options and explain the differences.
