Network Security Services for Orange County Businesses
Your firewall and network design decide what can get in, what can get out, and how far an attacker can move once inside. SimplifiedPC deploys and manages business firewalls, secure remote access, network segmentation and threat detection that keep your network protected around the clock.
Protection at the network level
Network security focuses on the infrastructure that connects everything: the firewall at your internet connection, the way your network is divided, how remote users connect, and the monitoring that spots unusual activity. It works alongside device, email and account protections covered on our IT security services page. Firewalls and network security are configured by a Cisco CCNA- and CCNP-certified engineer.
Network security services
Business firewalls
Next-generation firewalls with intrusion prevention, web filtering and application control, configured, updated and monitored.
Secure remote access
VPN access for remote staff with multi-factor authentication, instead of exposing remote desktop to the internet.
Network segmentation
Separate networks for staff, guests, cameras, phones and sensitive systems to limit how far an infection or intruder can spread.
Threat detection & response
Extended detection and response (XDR) and managed threat response that watch endpoints and network activity for signs of attack.
Content & web filtering
Blocking malicious sites, phishing links and inappropriate content before they reach your users.
Firewall reviews
An audit of your existing firewall rules, open ports, firmware and remote access to find gaps and unnecessary exposure.
Backed by the Kaseya security platform
As a Kaseya partner, we protect client networks and devices with Kaseya's security tools, including endpoint detection and response and around-the-clock managed detection and response. That gives a small business the kind of monitoring and response usually reserved for companies with their own security team, managed by a local team that already knows your network.
Common network security gaps we find
- Internet provider routers used as the only firewall
- Remote desktop exposed directly to the internet
- Firewall firmware years out of date
- Guests and staff on the same network
- Cameras and smart devices on the business network
- No alerts when something suspicious happens
- Old firewall rules nobody remembers creating
- Shared VPN passwords without multi-factor authentication
Network security FAQ
Isn't the router from our internet provider a firewall?
It provides basic protection, but it lacks intrusion prevention, filtering, segmentation, logging and alerting. A business firewall gives you far more control and visibility.
What's the difference between network security and IT security?
Network security protects the connections and infrastructure: firewalls, remote access and network design. IT security is broader, also covering computers, email, accounts, backups and staff awareness. Most businesses need both.
Do you monitor our firewall?
Yes. Firewalls and security tools can be monitored and managed as part of our managed IT services, so alerts are reviewed and acted on.
Does network security help with HIPAA or cyber insurance?
Yes. Firewalls, secure remote access with MFA, and monitoring are common requirements for HIPAA safeguards and cyber insurance applications. We can help document what's in place.
