Business email compromise (BEC) is the most common cyber threat to businesses. Here’s how to spot it.
Six Signs of Business Email Compromise to Watch For
Safeguard your network with a next-generation firewall – continuous protection that blocks attackers and accelerates important traffic.

We don’t currently have a firewall.
My network was recently breached.
We have a firewall, but it’s very basic.
Make sure all traffic coming in and out of your network is inspected, even if it’s encrypted. Our firewalls automatically decrypt and re-encrypt every packet, eliminating one of your biggest security blind spots.
Traditional firewalls only examine the headers of data packets. DPI lets your firewall examine the payload as well, making it simple to detect and block hidden malware.
Deep-inspecting every packet is effective – but it takes time. Keep your trusted applications performing at their best by routing their traffic separately.
Your cyber security is only as good as your response speed. Our firewalls instantly block and quarantine suspicious traffic – even if it’s coming from inside your network.
Backed by market-leading technology.
Think of a firewall like a security guard that stands at the entrance to your network.
When traffic tries to go in or out, the security guard stops each packet and inspects it.
Traditional firewalls only inspect packet headers – a bit like a security guard thinking ‘does this person look trustworthy?’.
Next-generation firewalls like ours, though, engage in DPI (the firewall equivalent of opening locked bags and checking pockets).
If a packet isn’t clean, it will be blocked, keeping your network safe from malicious attackers.

An unmanaged firewall is simply a firewall that you manage yourself. Because many small and mid-sized businesses don’t necessarily have the in-house expertise to configure complex firewalls themselves, unmanaged firewalls tend to be simpler, blunter defences that may miss encrypted threats.
Managed firewalls (like ours) tend to use next-generation technology with features like deep packet inspection, trusted traffic boosting, and TLS decryption. That makes them ideal for fully defending your network without throttling performance. Of course, managed firewalls do require a greater level of configuration and maintenance, which is why it’s generally a good idea to pay someone else – like your managed services provider – to do it for you.
Yes, we can. A managed firewall gives us (and you) the ability to see 100% of traffic that goes in and out of your network. We can see exactly which users are visiting which sites, what applications are sending traffic, and what devices on your network. If you want to block certain sites – or simply receive notifications when staff members access them – we can configure your firewall appropriately.
Not all traffic exiting your network is necessarily coming from your staff or trusted applications. If malware has somehow infected your network, it will likely try to ‘call home’ – that is, send data to the adversary that initiated it in the first place. Automatically blocking that traffic can stop sensitive data being shared, giving the rest of your cyber security defences time to hunt down the threat.
In some cases, data security threats may not be external adversaries. If your staff try to share confidential information – accidentally or deliberately – through channels like email, clear firewall rules can help detect abnormal behaviour and quarantine that traffic for our inspection.
