Who it is for

Organizations with more than one site, regulated data, or a firewall that is out of support. Palo Alto Networks firewalls inspect traffic by application and user, not just by port, and block known threats as they pass through.

How we deliver it

• Assess: we review your current firewall, internet circuits and traffic.
• Size: we choose the model for your throughput with security inspection turned on, not the brochure number.
• Build: security policy, VPN and site-to-site connections designed and documented.
• Cut over: scheduled after hours, with a tested rollback plan.
• Maintain: software updates, threat subscriptions and support renewals tracked and kept current.

Frequently asked questions

Which Palo Alto model do we need?

It depends on your internet speed, number of users and sites, and which security services you run. We size the firewall with inspection turned on so it performs as promised.

Can you take over a Palo Alto firewall someone else installed?

Yes. We review the configuration, bring the software and subscriptions current, and document what is there.

What happens if our subscriptions lapse?

The firewall keeps passing traffic, but threat signatures and filtering stop updating, which leaves you exposed. We track every renewal date so that does not happen.

Will replacing the firewall disrupt our business?

We schedule the cutover after hours and test before your staff return.
