Firewalls and unified threat management

Malware, spyware, ransomware, Phishing, DDoS, brute force attacks. The list of cyberthreats to your business network grows with each passing day as cybercriminals become increasingly cunning and sophisticated with their attack methods.

Perhaps even more worrying is the fact that any maliciously-minded individual – even those with only basic computer skills – can quickly mount a cyberattack against your business, thanks to the multitude of free tools and cheap online services available on the black market today.

No wonder, then, that cyberattacks are on the rise. More than half (55%) of UK businesses suffered at least one attack in 2019 [1] – up from 40% in 2018 – resulting in losses averaging between £176,000 and £285,000 [2]. In a world where almost anyone – from organised crime groups to business competitors to disgruntled employees – can make a serious attempt at hacking your network and stealing your valuable data, cybersecurity needs to be the topmost priority.

Quayside Technical Service’s firewall and network security solutions bring your business’s exposure to cyberthreats down to an absolute minimum. With our Unified Threat Management (UTM) systems, we deliver robust protection from a wide range of security threats around both the clock and the calendar – and all from one single appliance to minimise complexity. We provide solutions from multiple vendors, and will install the correct device for your network after consultation with you.

Our UTM’s consolidate essential security functions – including network firewalling, intrusion detection and prevention, antivirus, content filtering, and malware protection – into a single device to ensure complete protection from all threats. In addition, our UTM solutions help you enforce your IT security policies with full PCI DSS compliance and give you comprehensive control over internet access – for example, allowing employees to update the company Facebook page, but restricting access to their own profiles.

Adding these security devices – or replacing your existing device – is easy. We handle all aspects of implementation and setup, leaving you with a network that is more secure than ever.
