An unmanaged firewall is a false sense of security
A firewall protects you only while its rules, firmware and monitoring are kept up to date.
Without managed firewall care
Most firewall problems build up quietly.
- Rules nobody remembers adding
- Open ports and any-any access
- Firmware months behind
- Alerts nobody has time to read
- Audit panic every year

Firewall management questions, answered
Thinking about managed firewall services or tightening what you have? These are the questions we hear most often.
What is firewall management?
Firewall management is the ongoing work of configuring, monitoring, updating and auditing your firewalls so they keep blocking threats as your network and business change. It covers rule and policy changes, firmware updates, log review, reporting and incident response.
What is a managed firewall service?
A managed firewall service means an expert team looks after your firewalls for you. We monitor them around the clock, apply rule changes through a controlled process, keep firmware current and report on your security, so you get strong protection without hiring a full in-house team.
Which firewall brands do you support?
We work with major platforms including Fortinet FortiGate, Palo Alto Networks, Cisco ASA and Firepower, SonicWall, Sophos, Check Point, WatchGuard and pfSense, as well as cloud firewalls such as Azure Firewall and AWS Network Firewall. If you use something else, just ask.
How often should firewall rules be reviewed?
Most organizations should review their firewall rules at least every six months, and after any major network or application change. Regular reviews remove unused and overly permissive rules, which reduces risk and makes audits easier.
Can you manage our existing firewall, or do we need to replace it?
In most cases we can manage the firewall you already have. We start with an audit, then recommend improvements or a replacement only if the device is end-of-life, unsupported or no longer meets your needs.
How does 24/7 firewall monitoring work?
We collect firewall logs and health data, watch for alerts and unusual traffic, and have engineers review anything suspicious at any hour. Real issues are investigated and escalated to you with clear next steps, and we can act on agreed fixes straight away.
Do you help with compliance such as PCI DSS and ISO 27001?
Yes. We keep change records, rule review evidence and regular reports that support audits for standards such as PCI DSS and ISO 27001, as well as cyber insurance questionnaires. Final compliance still depends on your wider controls, and we can point out where else to focus.
How much does firewall management cost?
Cost depends on how many firewalls you have, how complex your network is and how much support you need. We offer fixed-fee audits, project pricing for migrations and monthly managed plans, and after a short conversation we send a clear, tailored quote.
