UniFi gateway and firewallThe barrier between your business and the internet
The router your fibre provider dropped off is built to get you online, not to protect a business. A properly configured gateway decides what may reach your network, what your network may reach, and what happens when the line goes down.
Firewall rules that mean something
Deliberate rules rather than defaults, with the things that should never be exposed to the internet actually closed. We document what is open and why.
Segmentation
Staff, guests, cameras, payment devices and building systems separated, so one compromised device does not become a route to everything else.
Failover
A second internet line, LTE or fibre, that takes over automatically. Tested, not assumed, so you find out it works before you need it.
Remote access
VPN for staff who need to reach systems on site, tied to their own account rather than a shared password on a sticky note.
Content and threat filtering
Blocking known-bad destinations at the gateway, which quietly stops a lot of trouble before it reaches a device.
Visibility
You can see which applications are using the line. Useful when someone asks why the connection was slow on Tuesday afternoon.
Not sure what your firewall is doing?
Most businesses have never seen their rules. We will review the configuration and tell you plainly what is exposed.
