Managed Firewall
Your firewall is the front door to your network — and it shouldn’t be a consumer router or a forgotten box in a closet. Our Managed Firewall is a compact, purpose-built security appliance we deploy at your network’s edge, hardened to industry best practices and managed end to end by our team.
Pairs naturally with Network Monitoring — the device protecting your network and the team watching it are one and the same. One appliance, one team, no vendor finger-pointing.
What you get
What is included
- Purpose-built appliance: A compact, fanless, solid-state device with six multi-gigabit network ports and hardware-accelerated encryption — enterprise capability without the rack space or enterprise price tag.
- Stateful traffic inspection: Every connection in and out of your network is tracked and filtered against firewall policies built around how your business actually works.
- Intrusion detection & prevention: Traffic is inspected against continuously updated threat intelligence, with malicious activity blocked at the edge — before it reaches a single workstation.
- Secure VPN connectivity: Encrypted site-to-site tunnels link your locations, and remote-access VPN gives your team a safe way in from anywhere — with encryption accelerated in hardware so security doesn’t slow you down.
- Network segmentation & traffic control: Guest Wi-Fi, staff, servers, phones, and cameras isolated on their own network segments, with traffic shaping that keeps critical services like voice running smoothly.
- Deployed and managed by AIS: We configure the device to industry best practices, apply security updates, monitor its health, back up its configuration, and review rules as your business changes — requests go through the same help desk as everything else.
The platform behind it
Built and maintained by AIS on proven open-source foundations rather than resold. No per-seat licence markup, and no vendor deciding when it changes. This is our standard platform. Where you have an existing preference or a requirement of your own, we support alternatives.Add it to your plan
