Cybersecurity & Networking
Connect every office, person and cloud app, safely.
Your network carries every email, payment and file your business sends. These eight tools build it, secure it and keep watch over it, from the office floor to the cloud.
See the product lines.
The first four are the network inside your building. The next two connect your branches and the people working away, and the last two watch for attackers in your network and your cloud.
Routers
The front door between your offices and the internet.
A router connects your office network to the internet and to your other sites, and decides where each piece of traffic goes. Business routers add what a home router lacks, such as a backup connection that takes over if your main line fails.
What it does
- Connects your office to the internet and your other sites
- Switches to a backup line if the main one drops
- Gives calls and key apps priority over downloads
- Encrypted links between your offices
Where it helps
- A new office or branch getting connected
- Businesses that cannot afford to go offline
- Offices where video calls stutter at busy times
Switches
The backbone that connects everything inside your building.
A switch links the computers, phones, printers, cameras and Wi-Fi points in your office by cable, so they can talk to each other quickly. Managed switches also keep groups apart, so a guest or a camera can never reach your finance systems.
What it does
- Fast, steady connections for every wired device
- Keeps departments and guests on separate networks
- Powers phones, cameras and Wi-Fi points over the same cable
- Shows which devices are connected, and where
Where it helps
- Office moves, fit-outs and expansions
- Separating staff, guest and camera traffic
- Warehouses and floors with many wired devices
Next-Generation Firewalls
A guard that checks everything coming in and going out.
A firewall sits between your network and the internet and decides what may pass. A next-generation firewall looks deeper: it recognises the apps in use, blocks harmful websites and downloads, and spots attacks hidden inside ordinary-looking traffic.
What it does
- Blocks attacks and harmful websites at the edge
- Controls which apps and sites can be used at work
- Checks encrypted traffic for hidden threats
- Secure connections for staff working away
Where it helps
- Every office with an internet connection
- Meeting the network rules of banks, card schemes and auditors
- Limiting streaming and social media on work networks
Access Points
Fast, secure Wi-Fi in every corner.
Access points give your building its wireless network. Business-grade points pass people from one to the next as they move around, handle many devices at once, and keep staff, guests and devices on separate, secured networks.
What it does
- Strong Wi-Fi across floors, halls and warehouses
- Separate networks for staff, guests and devices
- Managed together from one screen
- Finds and flags unknown wireless points
Where it helps
- Offices where Wi-Fi drops in some rooms
- Hotels, clinics and showrooms with guest Wi-Fi
- Warehouses using handheld scanners
SD-WAN
One smart network joining all your branches.
SD-WAN (software-defined wide area network) joins your offices, shops and branches over whatever connections each one has, such as fibre, broadband or mobile data. It sends each app down the best line at that moment, and every site is set up and managed from one place.
What it does
- Uses several internet lines at once, and moves between them if one fails
- Sends important apps down the best line at any moment
- New branches connected quickly, from one central screen
- Encrypted traffic between every site
Where it helps
- Retail chains, banks and businesses with many branches
- Cutting the cost of private leased lines
- Sites where one connection is not reliable enough
ZTNA/SASE
Safe access to work apps from anywhere, for the right people only.
ZTNA (zero trust network access) checks who a person is and whether their device is safe every time they open a work app, and lets them reach that app alone, not the whole network. SASE (secure access service edge) delivers this from the cloud together with web filtering and firewall protection, so staff are protected wherever they work.
What it does
- Access to each app, not the whole network
- Checks the person and their device before every connection
- The same protection at home, in the office or travelling
- Replaces slow, all-or-nothing VPN connections
Where it helps
- Staff who work from home or on the road
- Contractors and partners who need one system only
- Moving from an office VPN to access from the cloud
NDR
Watches the traffic inside your network for signs of an intruder.
Attackers who get past the front door move quietly from computer to computer. NDR (network detection and response) learns what normal traffic looks like on your network and raises the alarm when something behaves differently, including on devices that cannot run security software, such as printers and cameras.
What it does
- Learns what normal looks like on your network
- Spots intruders moving between systems
- Covers devices that cannot run security software
- Keeps a record of network activity for investigations
Where it helps
- Networks full of printers, cameras and machines
- Finding attackers who are already inside
- Factories, hospitals and other sites with specialist equipment
CNAPP
Security for everything you run in the cloud.
CNAPP (cloud-native application protection platform) looks after the servers, storage, databases and apps you run with cloud providers. It finds settings that leave data exposed, checks your apps for weaknesses before they go live, and watches for attacks while they run.
What it does
- Finds storage and databases left open to the internet
- Checks cloud settings against security rules
- Scans your apps for weaknesses before they go live
- One view across more than one cloud provider
Where it helps
- Businesses moving their systems to the cloud
- Development teams releasing apps often
- Proving cloud security to auditors and clients
Not sure what you need?
You don't need to know the names. Start from what is going wrong and tell us a little about your offices and how people connect. We will match you to the right mix.
Start from the problem
When our internet drops, everything stops
RoutersGuests and cameras share a network with our finance team
SwitchesWe have no control over what comes in from the internet
Next-Generation FirewallsThe Wi-Fi is weak or keeps dropping in parts of the building
Access PointsOur branches are slow to reach head office systems
SD-WANStaff working from home rely on an old, slow VPN
ZTNA/SASEWe wouldn't know if someone was already inside our network
NDRWe are not sure our cloud setup is secure

Bring these answers to the first call
Rough answers are fine. They let us come prepared, so the first conversation is about your business rather than a form.
- How many offices, branches or sites do you have, and how are they connected today?
- How many people and devices use the network at each site?
- Do staff work from home or travel, and how do they reach work systems?
- Which of your systems run in the cloud, and which in your own building?
- When is your network equipment due for renewal or replacement?
- Are there rules you must follow, such as banking or card payment requirements?
