Beaming provides managed firewall services for UK businesses that need secure, reliable network protection without having to manage every aspect of their firewall infrastructure in-house.
Our engineers can take over and improve your existing firewall setup, or design and deploy a new secure network from the ground up. We manage the process from initial discovery and auditing through to migration, ongoing maintenance and support, helping keep your firewall secure, up to date and aligned with the way your business operates.
What is a managed firewall service?
A managed firewall service means outsourcing the setup, maintenance and ongoing management of your business firewall to experienced specialists.
Effective firewall management helps protect the security and integrity of your network. Regular audits, configuration reviews and updates help identify gaps, reduce risk and ensure your firewall continues to meet the changing needs of your business.
Beaming’s managed firewall service includes discovery, auditing, deployment, migration support, ongoing management and responsive support from our engineers.
How we work
Detailed discovery:
We don’t just install or swap ‘boxes’. Our engineers audit your current network layout and configurations to understand exactly how your business operates and what is required to secure it properly.
Audit and improve:
Using business-grade firewall technology from vendors including Sophos and Cisco, our engineers review your existing setup and recommend improvements based on your network, security requirements and business priorities.
For example, where uptime is critical, we may recommend a High Availability design. This uses two firewalls in a redundant pair, so if one fails the other can take over. It also allows critical software updates to be deployed through change control with less disruption to your business.
Migration without disruption:
We manage the migration process around your existing business operations, adapting the new technology to fit established workflows and helping minimise disruption for your staff.
Managed firewall support from Beaming
Firewall management does not stop once your network is configured. Business requirements change, new users and locations are added, suppliers need access and security policies need to be updated.
Beaming provides ongoing managed firewall support to help keep your firewall configuration aligned with the way your business operates. Our engineers can review change requests, update firewall rules and policies, support troubleshooting and help coordinate changes with third parties where needed.
You also have direct access to experienced Beaming engineers, so when something needs changing you can speak to people who understand your network and how it has been configured.
Firewall and VPN management
VPNs are often an important part of a business network, helping employees, offices and trusted third parties connect securely to the systems they need.
As part of our managed firewall and VPN services, Beaming can support the setup and ongoing management of site-to-site and remote-access VPN connections, alongside the firewall policies that control them.
We can also help review access requirements as your business changes, making sure connections remain appropriate for the people, locations and systems that need them. Where your network involves multiple sites or external IT providers, our engineers can work with those parties to coordinate firewall and VPN changes.
