Your firewall is the front door to your business. AEU-I designs, deploys and hardens Sophos Firewall (XGS/XG/SG) so that door is locked, watched and easy to manage, without slowing your people down. From a single-site setup to multi-site high availability, we translate security best practice into rules that fit how your business actually works.
What we deliver
- Firewall setup and configuration for your Sophos hardware, including initial provisioning and policy templates.
- Network segmentation with VLANs to separate users, servers, guests and IoT, containing threats if something goes wrong.
- VPN connectivity: site-to-site tunnels and SSL/Client VPN for secure remote and hybrid work.
- Threat protection: IPS, ATP, web filtering, application control and TLS inspection tuned to reduce noise.
- Logging, alerting and reporting via email, SNMP and syslog so incidents surface early.
- High availability and multi-site designs, routing and traffic shaping for larger estates.
Our approach
We begin with a short assessment of your topology, traffic and risk. From there we design a clean rule base with least-privilege access, document every change, and roll it out with a tested rollback path so there is no unplanned outage.
- Assess. Map subnets, sites, applications and remote-access needs.
- Design. VLANs, routing, VPNs and a policy set based on the DACH and EU best-practice baseline.
- Deploy. Configure the Sophos firewall, apply policies and validate in a controlled window.
- Harden and hand over. Enable IPS/ATP, tune false positives, document, and train your team.
Why it matters
Most breaches exploit flat networks and permissive rules. Proper segmentation and a tuned Sophos policy stop lateral movement and block malicious traffic before it reaches your systems, following Sophos Firewall guidance and modern network-security practice. You get protection that is strong by default and quiet in day-to-day use.
Outcomes you can expect
- A segmented, well-documented network with least-privilege firewall rules.
- Secure remote access for staff, without exposing internal systems.
- Early visibility of threats through clean alerting and reporting.
- A firewall your team can understand and maintain.
