Network Security

Most small businesses get breached through gaps nobody was watching: an unpatched firewall, a stale password, a phishing email that got through. I put practical, layered defenses in place, keep them current, and watch the doors you forgot about.

What I cover

Security is not a product you buy once. I manage it on a schedule the way regulators and cyber-insurance reviews expect: firewalls configured and monitored, threats caught early, patches applied before they become holes, and your team trained on the basics that stop most attacks before they start.

I assess your actual risk honestly and tell you what is worth doing first, instead of selling you everything at once.

Layered by design

No single control stops everything, so I build in layers. A managed firewall filters what reaches your network. Endpoint detection watches the laptops and desktops where most attacks actually land. DNS filtering blocks the malicious sites behind phishing links before anyone loads them, and email security strips the majority of phishing and spoofing attempts before they ever hit an inbox. If one layer is bypassed, the next is still standing.

Built for cyber-insurance and compliance

More small businesses are being asked hard questions by their insurers and larger clients: Do you enforce multi-factor authentication? Are backups tested? Is staff trained? I put those controls in place and, just as importantly, document them - so when a renewal questionnaire or a client security review lands on your desk, the answers are already yes and you can prove it.

What you can expect

You get one engineer who knows your setup, monitoring that runs quietly in the background, and a straight answer whenever something looks off. No fearmongering and no shelf full of tools you will never use - just the defenses that match your real risk, kept current month after month.
