Enterprise Managed Firewall & Network Security

Stop relying on outdated hardware. We source fully managed Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFW) that update themselves, blocking ransomware and intrusions 24/7/365.

Managed CPE (Hardware)

The provider ships a pre-configured device (like Fortinet or Meraki) to your office. They handle all patches, rule changes, and monitoring remotely, so you never have to touch it.

Firewall as a Service (FWaaS)

Eliminate the appliance entirely. Traffic is routed to a cloud security stack where inspection happens. Perfect for remote workers and multi-site organizations.

Why Outsource Your Security?

In the old days, you bought a firewall, plugged it in, and forgot about it. That no longer works. Modern cyber threats evolve hourly. If your firewall misses a single firmware update, your entire business is vulnerable to ransomware.

Managed Firewall services solve this by shifting the burden from your internal IT team to a dedicated security operations center (SOC).

1. Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) Features

We source providers who deploy Next-Gen Firewalls. Unlike older models that only looked at “ports and protocols,” NGFWs inspect the actual content of the data. Key features include:

  • Deep Packet Inspection (DPI): Looking inside the data to find hidden malware.
  • Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS): Automatically blocking suspicious activity.
  • Application Control: Blocking risky apps (like BitTorrent) while prioritizing business apps (like Office 365).

2. OpEx vs. CapEx

Buying enterprise security hardware is expensive (Capital Expenditure). Managed Firewall moves this to a monthly subscription (Operating Expenditure). You pay a flat monthly fee that includes the hardware rental, the software licensing, and the 24/7 expert monitoring. If the hardware breaks, the provider replaces it for free.

3. Sourcing the Top Brands

Through our network of Master Agents, Alamo Telecom can source quotes from the world’s leading security vendors. We help you compare options from:

  • Fortinet: Excellent performance-per-dollar value.
  • Palo Alto Networks: The gold standard for enterprise security.
  • Cisco Meraki: Ideal for simple, cloud-managed deployments across many retail sites.

Compliance Made Easy

If you need to meet HIPAA, PCI, or SOC2 standards, a managed solution is often required. The providers we source offer automated reporting, proving to auditors that your network is secure and compliant.

The provider’s security team handles the complex configuration. However, most solutions come with a portal where you can request simple changes (like “Block Facebook” or “Open Port 80”) which they execute for you.

With a Managed Firewall service, the hardware is covered by an SLA. The provider will ship a replacement unit immediately (often overnight) to minimize downtime.

No. A firewall protects the network edge (the front door). You still need Endpoint Protection to secure individual laptops and desktops inside the building.
