On-premise & cloud
Hardware, virtual, and cloud-native firewalls managed under one process.
A firewall is only as good as its rules, and rules rot. Forgotten allows, overlapping policies, changes nobody documented. We manage the whole lifecycle and watch the traffic, so your firewalls actually protect rather than just exist.
Most firewall rule bases are a graveyard of decisions nobody remembers making. Every stale allow is a door left open, and every change without review is a risk nobody owns. A firewall you do not maintain is a firewall you cannot trust.
We take ownership of the full firewall lifecycle: designing the rule base, reviewing every change, retiring what is stale, and watching the traffic for what gets through. You get firewalls that are tight, documented, and continuously tuned, with the alerts feeding the same SOC that watches everything else.
Every rule has a life, and most firewalls only ever do the first step. We run all five, continuously.
A change comes in with a business reason and an owner.
We check it against policy and risk before it goes live.
Implemented cleanly, documented, and tied to its reason.
Traffic watched, with hits and anomalies tracked.
Stale and unused rules found and safely removed.
Rule rot happens when changes have no lifecycle. This is what every change looks like under management: requested, checked, approved, implemented, and expired, all on the record.
Application team files the request with a business reason and the partner integration it serves. No reason, no rule.
Overlap analysis flags partial shadow of rule #312; scope narrowed from the full subnet to the single API host.
Named approver signs off. Expiry set to 90 days, owner recorded, rollback plan attached.
Change lands in the agreed window. Config diff captured, monitoring confirms expected traffic only.
Traffic analysis shows the rule is still in use: renewed for 90 days with the evidence attached. Unused rules are removed, not renewed.
Whether your firewalls are on-premise, in the cloud, or both, we manage them with one consistent process.
Hardware, virtual, and cloud-native firewalls managed under one process.
Scheduled audits of the rule base, so it stays tight as the environment changes.
Every rule tied to a reason and an owner, so an audit is a lookup, not a scramble.
Firewall alerts feed the iTDC, so a threat at the perimeter is investigated like any other.
Managed Firewall is the Guard and Implement motions kept current. We tighten the rules and run the change discipline, with the traffic feeding the SOC so the perimeter is watched as closely as it is configured.
See Secure Access (SASE) ›We manage what you have in most cases, across the major vendors and across on-premise and cloud. Where a refresh makes sense we will say so and help with the design, but the goal is to get the most out of your existing investment first.
With a review. We map the existing rules, find the overlaps, shadows, and stale entries, and propose a clean-up that reduces risk without breaking anything. Then we put change discipline in place so it does not drift back into a mess.
They feed the iTDC, the same operating core behind our Managed Detection and Response. A firewall alert is investigated alongside endpoint, identity, and cloud signals, so a perimeter event is seen in full context rather than in isolation.
Not yet, and not everywhere. Many environments still have data centers, branch sites, and workloads that need traditional firewalling. We manage those while helping you move suitable traffic to a SASE edge over time, so the two work together rather than competing.
Rule lifecycle with expiry and review, change management with named approvals, firmware currency, configuration backup, and alert triage through the iTDC.
Routine changes inside agreed windows, usually within one business day. Emergency blocks run through an expedited path with the same audit trail.
Yes. The major platforms are covered under one change process and one reporting view, which matters most in estates that grew by acquisition.
Every change carries a request, an approval, an implementation record, and a rollback path. Rule reviews are documented, so audits start from evidence.
By device count and change volume. A rule-base review is the usual starting point and pays for itself in removed risk and noise.
Guard owns the policy, Implement runs the changes and monitoring, and rule hygiene reports through Enhance.
The cloud-delivered edge for access that has left the data center.
