Network Security — Your First and Last Line of Defense
Your network carries everything — email, files, payments, cloud apps, VoIP. If an attacker gets inside, they have access to all of it. Brivy IT designs, deploys, and manages network security powered by Fortinet and Sophos.
Most small business networks were set up to work — not to be secure. Everything on one flat network. POS on the same subnet as employee laptops. Guest Wi-Fi sharing firewall rules with production servers. It all works until someone plugs in a compromised device, and suddenly the attacker has unrestricted lateral movement across everything.
Real network security is about architecture — segmenting so a compromise in one area doesn’t reach everything, deploying firewalls that actually inspect traffic, and monitoring for suspicious activity before it becomes a breach.
Firewall Deployment
Fortinet FortiGate and Sophos XGS next-gen firewalls — properly sized, correctly configured, IPS and web filtering enabled from day one.
Network Segmentation
Separate POS, IoT, guest Wi-Fi, and production. A breach in one zone stays in one zone.
Intrusion Detection & Prevention
IDS/IPS monitoring for attack signatures, anomalous behavior, and policy violations — blocking threats automatically.
VPN & Remote Access
Site-to-site VPN connecting locations and SSL VPN for remote workers — properly encrypted and managed.
SD-WAN
Intelligent traffic routing across multiple internet connections. Better performance, failover, lower costs than MPLS.
Wireless Security
Secure Wi-Fi with authentication, encryption, guest isolation, and rogue AP detection.
An automotive dealership had their payment processing shut down after a PCI audit found credit card terminals on the same network as customer Wi-Fi. No segmentation, no firewall between zones. We deployed FortiGate with VLAN segmentation — POS isolated, customer Wi-Fi separated, cameras on dedicated network. Merchant bank re-approved processing within a week.
Firewall Platforms
We deploy two industry-leading firewall platforms depending on your requirements.
Fortinet FortiGate
Custom ASIC performance, unified threat management, built-in SD-WAN, and centralized multi-site management. Best for multi-location businesses and high-throughput environments.
Sophos XGS
Synchronized Security across firewall and endpoints, intuitive management, and strong SMB feature set. Excellent for single-site businesses wanting integrated endpoint+firewall protection.
