Stop Threats Before They Stop Your Business.
Threat intelligence is not antivirus. It is the active, continuous process of identifying, analysing, and acting on threat data — before an attack reaches your network.
What Is a Perimeter Firewall?
A perimeter firewall sits at the boundary between your internal network and the internet. It inspects every packet entering or leaving — allowing legitimate traffic and blocking everything else, based on rules your business defines.
Modern next-generation firewalls (NGFW) go further — inspecting applications, users, and content, not just IP addresses and ports. Layerix designs and configures your rule base from scratch, tailored to your actual traffic.
What It Controls
- Inbound internet traffic
- Outbound user traffic
- VPN remote access
- Site-to-site connectivity
- Application-layer filtering
- Intrusion prevention (IPS)
The Problems We Solve
Default Rules = Open Door
Most firewalls are deployed with factory-default or over-permissive rules. A firewall that allows everything is not a firewall — it is a labelled doorway.
No Policy = No Control
Without a documented security policy, rules accumulate over years with no logic, no owner, and no audit trail. Nobody knows what is allowed or why.
Unchecked = Unpatched
Firewall firmware vulnerabilities are actively exploited. An unmanaged appliance is a known risk that grows with every passing month.
Scope of Work
Firewall Architecture Types
Single Firewall
SMB / single-site / budget-conscious
Internet → Firewall → LAN
Single point of failure — suitable where budget is the primary constraint.
High Availability (Active-Passive)
Enterprises requiring uptime guarantee
Primary + Standby — automatic failover
Zero downtime on hardware failure. Recommended for all production environments.
DMZ Architecture
Organisations hosting public-facing servers
Internet → Firewall → DMZ (servers) + LAN (users)
A compromised server cannot pivot into your internal network.
Platform Selection Guide
| Platform | Best For | Strength |
|---|---|---|
| Fortinet FortiGate | SMB to large enterprise | Performance at price point |
| Check Point | Large enterprise | Deep policy management |
| Palo Alto Networks | High-security environments | App-ID & User-ID |
| Cisco ASA / Firepower | Cisco-centric environments | Integration depth |
| Sophos XGS | SMB / mid-market | Ease of management |
Layerix is vendor-neutral. We recommend the right platform for your environment — not the one with the best margin.
