A representative cybersecurity deployment. Every engagement is sized to your actual environment.

Engagement Model

How an engagement runs.

Day 1

Configuration review of what is already running: firewall rules, exposed services, and access rights.

Ongoing

Hardening, patch management, and scheduled access reviews, with each change documented.

Escalation

A defined incident path: isolate, diagnose, restore, then a written post-incident summary.

Our Approach

Security work here means configuration you can audit, not a checkbox. We harden what is already running before we recommend anything new, and we document every change we make.

What's Included

Firewall Deployment & Hardening

Fortinet perimeter security: policy configuration, rule auditing, and hardening of what is already in place.

Fortinet

pfSense-Based Security

pfSense firewalls for perimeter security, VLAN segmentation, and VPN termination where a full commercial appliance is not the right fit.

pfSense

Access Control Systems

Role-based access, with biometric and card-based entry integration for physical and network access.

Endpoint Protection

Antivirus, patch management, and device compliance across managed endpoints.

Security Audits & Hardening

Configuration review and hardening of servers, network devices, and exposed services.

Secured Remote Work

VPN-gated access and least-privilege policy for remote and hybrid staff.

GitLab CVE-2026-85706: the CVSS 10 file-read flaw under attack, and why patching is only half the fix

An unauthenticated path traversal in GitLab's repository APIs lets attackers read any file the GitLab process can read, and CISA confirmed exploitation within a day of the patch. The timeline, the exposure figures, the root cause, and the secret rotation that has to follow the upgrade.
