Network Security

Next-generation firewall management, network segmentation, zero-trust architecture and continuous traffic analysis, protecting every packet across your entire estate.

What we deliver

  1. Design, deploy and manage NGFW solutions from leading vendors across your entire network estate (on-prem, cloud and hybrid), with 24/7 monitoring and policy management.

  2. Divide your network into secure zones to limit lateral movement. Microsegmentation at the workload level ensures that even if one segment is breached, others remain protected.

  3. Design and implement a zero-trust network model where no user or device is trusted by default, enforcing continuous verification and least-privilege access.

  4. Deploy SD-WAN solutions with built-in security controls, and provide secure remote access for hybrid workers without compromising network performance or visibility.

  5. Continuous analysis of network traffic flows to detect anomalous behavior, lateral movement, data exfiltration attempts and policy violations in real time.

  6. Comprehensive review of your existing network security posture, identifying gaps, misconfigurations and vulnerabilities with prioritized remediation recommendations.

Operational architecture

How it works

Every engagement follows the same five steps: baseline the current state, design the target model, roll out in stages, operate it, and improve against measurements.

01

Assess

Baseline the current state, name the gaps and put the success criteria in writing.

02

Design

Architect the target operating model and the toolchain it needs.

03

Deploy

Implement, configure and validate in a staged rollout.

04

Operate

24/7 management with contracted response times and proactive monitoring.

05

Improve

Continuous improvement driven by metrics, incidents and changes in the business.

Contracted service levels

Every engagement runs under a written SLA: a commitment, not a best-effort promise.

Run by engineers

Dedicated engineers who know your stack. No generalist help-desk tier in between.

Continuous improvement

Service reviews every two weeks, roadmap updates every quarter.

The concepts behind this service

Network security
Protecting data and systems on a network against unauthorized access, attack and malicious software.
Firewall
A system that inspects network traffic against defined rules and blocks unauthorized access.
Proxy server
A server that mediates between client and destination, used for access control, caching and traffic logging.
VPN
Technology that establishes an encrypted private connection over a public network.

This section explains the technical terms used on this page. The definitions come from Eclit's own technology glossary, and each term links through to its full entry there.

What Is a Brute Force Attack, and How Do You Prevent It?

10 min read
01Our firewall rules have piled up over the years. Can they be cleaned up?

Yes, based on measurement. We collect rule hit counters, and rules that have not matched anything for months become candidates. Removal is phased: disable first, observe, then delete, because a rule that fires rarely may genuinely be needed once a year.

02Where should we start with network segmentation?

With the zone holding the critical assets. Splitting the whole network at once does not work in practice; first separate server and user networks, then the critical application zone, then tighten in stages. Each step means observing the traffic before restricting it.

03Is zero trust realistic for us?

As a goal, yes. As a single migration, no. Stronger authentication, making device health a condition of access, and per-application access are built step by step. No product changes an existing estate overnight.

04For remote access, VPN or zero trust network access?

VPN puts the user on the network; zero trust puts them only on the application they need. The second sharply limits lateral movement but requires an application inventory and a ready identity layer. During the transition, the two usually run in parallel for a while.

05Who approves rule changes?

The change process is wired into your approval flow. Every rule change is recorded with its justification, requester and approver: what an audit asks most often is not the rule itself but why it was added.

Let's work out where to start

Within two weeks you get it in writing: what works, what carries risk, and a prioritized roadmap.
