FAQs
Perimeter firewalls act as the first line of defense, controlling traffic entering or leaving the organization’s network, while datacenter firewalls protect the core infrastructure (servers, storage, critical applications). Together they enforce segmentation, monitor access, block threats, and help maintain compliance and network integrity.
We work with next‑generation firewalls (NGFW), stateful firewalls, application layer firewalls, and virtual firewalls. Features often include deep packet inspection, intrusion prevention, SSL/TLS inspection, application control, threat intelligence feeds, and policy automation.
We assess based on performance, throughput, latency, feature set, ease of management, vendor support, cost of ownership, and interoperability with existing infrastructure. For example, clients with high throughput needs might lean towards high‑capacity firewalls from vendors like Fortinet, Check Point, Dell Technologies, etc.
Yes. We design firewall deployments to scale both vertically (e.g. higher capacity hardware) and horizontally (clustered firewalls, load balancing). We also configure policy optimization to prevent performance bottlenecks.
Absolutely. Alongside hardware firewalls for perimeter/datacenter, we deploy virtual firewall instances for cloud platforms (public, private, hybrid), enabling consistent security policy and segmentation across on‑premise and cloud environments.
We implement centralized management consoles that allow unified policy creation, change‑tracking, version control, and role‑based access. Policies can be tested in sandbox or staging environments before deployment.
We use redundant firewalls (cluster or active‑passive/active‑active), health checks, failover configurations, standby appliances, and regular firmware updates. This ensures minimal downtime even during maintenance or hardware failure.
We include logging of all configuration changes, user actions, policy deployments, and traffic events. The system supports generating audit reports, compliance checks, and aligns with standards like ISO 27001, Kenya DPA, or sector‑specific regulations.
Yes. Many NGFWs include built‑in threat intelligence, signature‑based intrusion prevention, sandboxing, and anomaly detection. We configure real‑time updates to threat feeds and monitor logs to detect suspicious behavior.
For secure environments, we enable SSL/TLS inspection where policies require it. This involves deploying SSL decryption capabilities (within legal and privacy guidelines), inspecting the decrypted traffic, and re‑encrypting before forwarding.
There is usually some overhead; deep inspection and SSL decryption may increase latency or reduce throughput depending on hardware. We size the firewalls appropriately and use hardware acceleration (SSL offloading) to mitigate impact.
Yes. We design segmentation strategies—separating DMZs, internal production, development, management, etc.—to reduce lateral movement in case of breach and enforce least privilege among systems.
We schedule regular firmware reviews, patch windows, vendor‑certified updates, test updates in staging, and roll out updates with minimal disruption. Logging and rollback plans are always in place.
NGFWs often include anti‑DDoS or traffic anomaly detection. We also integrate with upstream DDoS mitigation services, rate‑limit offending traffic, and configure thresholds to trigger alerts or traffic diversion.
We partner with leading firewall and network security vendors such as Fortinet, Check Point, Huawei, and Dell Technologies. These collaborations help us deliver solutions with certified support, continuous updates, and compatibility with enterprise standards.
Internal traffic is segmented, monitored, and often routed through internal firewalls or micro‑segmentation layers. Encryption or if needed tunneling is used for sensitive data transfer, and strict access control policies are enforced.
Yes. Firewalls can establish VPN tunnels, SD‑WAN integrated security, or site‑to‑site encryption so that branches or remote offices connect securely back to datacenter resources.
Logs are centralized via SIEM systems or log aggregators; alerts are configured for suspicious patterns; retention policies are set per compliance standards. Periodic reviews and forensic capabilities are included in our support agreements.
We offer physical hardware firewalls for perimeter/datacenter, virtual firewall instances for virtualized environments and cloud, and hybrid deployments that combine both to align with your infrastructure strategy.
Post‑deployment we offer support including configuration assistance, firmware and software updates, policy reviews, performance tuning, incident analysis, SLAs for uptime/support, and ongoing security assessments to adapt to evolving threats.
