Network & Security

As bullet proof as possible ...

Standard practice in everything we do is security first, having worked with both major Public and Private sector clients..

Physical and Cloud Networks

We switched to the Cloud, after years of working in 'normal' IT. Working with Cisco Networking equipment in the 'noughties', we built national VPN grids for clients, we secured datacenter racks, we mapped out entire distributed infrastructures. We understand the core principles of networking at the physical level and we have then translated that into our Cloud work.

Whether you need a network design, physical cable and hardware installation, or virtual or cloud networking advice, talk to us first.

Unplug it

Many years ago, a very wise consultant said "The only way to truly secure a device, is to unplug it" and he wasn't wrong... if your machine is available on a network, it's vulnerable to attack, if it's available on the internet, it's even more vulnerable. We understand this principle whole heartedly and that's why we take the approach of Security First when building clients networks.

Although the statement was true, it's impractical. If you need to build a web available server, you need a web available server. That doesn't mean, that you just open everything up and not care about it... far from it. You need to plan the network infrastructure properly, understanding where access is needed and where it isn't, ensuring that any access that isn't needed, is blocked at the earliest opportunity in the stack.

Firewalls to Security Groups

With decades of experience configuring both, we know what we're doing. We've spent years honing our skills and perfecting them.

There are many tools available both physical and virtual to configure your network as securely as possible and we'll ensure you're using the right tools for your environment, to make it as secure as possible.
