Network Security · Miami
Firewalls that actually inspect the traffic.
Most Miami small businesses paid for a next-gen firewall and never turned on the next-gen features. We design, configure, and tune Palo Alto, Fortinet, SonicWall, and Cisco firewalls — plus IDS/IPS, VPN, and segmentation — to actually catch threats before they land.
What network security covers
Perimeter + segmentation + monitoring, tuned for your actual environment. Not off-the-shelf policies copied from the vendor documentation.
- Next-gen firewall design + config — Palo Alto, Fortinet, SonicWall, Meraki MX, Cisco Firepower. App-ID, URL filtering, threat prevention, SSL decryption where legal, geo-blocking, custom policy tuned to your workflow.
- IDS / IPS — signature + behavioral detection, tuned to reduce false positives so your team actually reads the alerts. Weekly rule review, monthly tuning.
- Network segmentation + micro-segmentation — POS off corporate, servers off desktops, IoT off everything. Limits blast radius when (not if) one endpoint is compromised.
- VPN + remote-access hardening — replace consumer VPN with ZTNA or SASE, posture check on every connection, MFA enforced, split-tunnel policy that leaks the least.
- DNS security — Umbrella / DNSFilter / Quad9 at the resolver, blocking malware C2 and phishing before the packet leaves your network.
- Zero-trust rollout — for teams ready to move past the perimeter model: identity-aware access, device trust, per-app policy. Rolled out in phases so users are not left offline.
Compliance overlays
The same firewall serves you differently depending on what you have to attest to. We map the compliance framework to concrete firewall + segmentation controls.
- HIPAA — PHI segmentation, audit logging, encrypted transport, BAA-covered management access. Miami healthcare focus.
- PCI-DSS — cardholder data environment isolation, controlled ingress/egress, quarterly ASV scans, evidence packaging for QSA.
- SOC 2 — network layer of the Trust Services Criteria, tied to your policies + change control + monitoring evidence.
Frequently Asked Questions
We have a firewall already. Do you replace it or configure it?
Usually we tune what you have first — most firewalls in Miami small business have the licenses paid but the features turned off. If the box is too old or under-spec'd for your traffic, we recommend replacement with a real cost/risk comparison. No commissions on either path.
How is this different from cybersecurity as a whole?
Cybersecurity is the umbrella — endpoints, cloud, identity, incident response, all of it. Network security is the perimeter + traffic-inspection + segmentation layer. Most Miami businesses need both, and we do both. Start with whichever gap is louder.
Do you offer remote-access as a service (ZTNA / SASE)?
Yes. For teams that have outgrown consumer VPNs we deploy Cloudflare Access, Zscaler, or Perimeter 81 (depending on user count and app mix) with identity-based access, device posture, and per-app policy. Rollout typically 2-4 weeks.
What happens if we get breached anyway?
That is what our Managed Detection & Response (MDR) service is for — 24/7 threat hunting, SIEM, and incident response. Network security keeps most threats out; MDR catches the ones that get in. Most Miami businesses running both will never have to test IR, but we test it anyway (annually) so it works when needed.
