Business-focused solution

Network Security & Secure Access

Network security controls how locations, users, applications and devices communicate. AOS helps organisations assess network boundaries and choose a practical approach to firewall, segmentation and secure access requirements.

The business challenge

Why this matters

Flat networks, ageing firewall policies and broad remote access can create routes that are difficult to monitor or justify. Cloud, branch and operational environments can add complexity.

Potential business impact

Poorly understood connectivity can increase the reach of a compromised account or device and make change risk harder to manage. Network changes also need to preserve critical operations and availability.

Common warning signs

  • •Firewall rules have no current business owner
  • •Remote users connect to more systems than they need
  • •Branch and cloud networks are managed separately
  • •IT and OT communication paths are unclear
  • •Firewall replacement is being considered without migration planning

AOS approach

A practical route from need to action

Document locations, services, traffic needs, existing equipment, support status and operational constraints. Compare suitable firewall, access and segmentation options, then plan deployment and change control with service owners.

How a solution may work

  1. 01Map sites, users, workloads, existing network boundaries and constraints
  2. 02Identify required communications and unnecessary access
  3. 03Compare fit, operating impact, licensing and support obligations
  4. 04Plan phased implementation, testing, rollback and handover
  5. 05Review policies and connectivity as the estate changes

Potential solution components

  • Next-generation and hybrid mesh firewalls
  • Branch and smaller-site protection
  • Rugged controls for industrial/SCADA settings
  • Network segmentation and policy review
  • SD-WAN, remote access VPN, SASE and Zero Trust options

Technology options to consider

  • Check Point: authorised UK partner option across Quantum, Spark, rugged, IoT Protect, SD-WAN and remote access VPN categories
  • Microsoft, AWS, Sophos, Barracuda and other current ecosystem vendors may be considered where the requirement fits
  • Fortinet, Palo Alto Networks, Cisco and Zscaler are unverified potential market options, not confirmed AOS offerings

Only Check Point authorised UK partner status is confirmed. Other vendor references do not imply AOS authorisation, resale, product availability or a specific integration. Vendor selection and capabilities are verified against current documentation during scoping.

Who benefits

Suitable organisations

Suitable for multi-site organisations, hybrid workforces, public sector, manufacturing and businesses with cloud workloads or remote access requirements.

Engagement options and boundaries

  • • Firewall and network solution design and implementation options
  • • Remote access, SASE and Zero Trust planning within agreed scope
  • • Industrial/SCADA changes require relevant site-owner coordination and operational approval
  • • Procurement and vendor choice are confirmed during scoping; no unverified authorisation is implied

Frequently asked questions

Must we replace our existing firewall?

Not necessarily. Support status, configuration, requirements and migration impact should be assessed before replacement is recommended.

Can network segmentation stop ransomware spread?

Segmentation can limit unnecessary connectivity and may reduce pathways, but it cannot guarantee containment or prevent every incident.

Can IT and OT be secured together?

They need coordinated design with operational stakeholders. Safety, availability and vendor constraints must shape any change.
