We architect, deploy and operate network security across the vendors you already trust - Cisco ISE, Palo Alto Prisma, Fortinet, Zscaler, Cato, Check Point, Aruba ClearPass. The right tool for the segment, not the one a channel deal forces us to push. 100% endpoint migration delivered for financial and government clients on Cisco ISE.
Every vendor's marketing claims their platform "does everything." None of them actually does. The right architecture mixes vendors deliberately - the firewall vendor you trust at the perimeter, the NAC platform your team can operate, the SASE provider whose POPs are close to your users, and the segmentation enforcement that fits your compliance regime.
We're vendor-certified across every platform on this page, and we will tell you when one is wrong for your environment - even when it's the one you came in wanting. The engagements that work are the ones where the architecture decisions are made *before* the procurement cycle, not after.
Greenfield ISE 3.x designs, migrations from ACS or competing NAC platforms, and 802.1X enterprise rollouts. Distributed deployments with PSN sizing, certificate lifecycle, posture, profiling and TACACS+ administration migration. Co-managed and fully managed operations available post-deployment.
Architecture and deployment for Palo Alto Prisma Access, Fortinet, Zscaler, Cato and Netskope. POP selection, identity-provider integration, ZTNA policy design, CASB and DLP rule engineering. We design the policy first; the vendor follows from the requirements.
Palo Alto Prisma SD-WAN, Fortinet Secure SD-WAN, Aruba Silverpeak, Cisco Viptela and Versa. Underlay design, application-aware routing, hub topology, MPLS displacement plans and security integration with the SASE layer. Multi-site SD-WAN with diverse backhaul and policy-based routing.
Zero-trust network access deployments using Zscaler ZPA, Prisma Access, Cisco Duo, Okta and Cloudflare Access. Identity-aware proxy design, application segmentation, posture-based access policies and legacy VPN displacement. ZTNA that the business actually adopts, not a pilot that languishes.
Migrations between Cisco ASA / FTD, Palo Alto, Fortinet, Check Point and Juniper SRX. Policy extraction, deduplication, rule cleanup and translation. We don't lift-and-shift broken policy onto a new platform - we clean it first.
VLAN, ACL, ISE-enforced and microsegmentation strategies for PCI-DSS, HIPAA, NIST 800-53 and ISO 27001 regimes. Network-side controls that map to your audit framework, with evidence packs that auditors actually accept.
A regulated financial-services client and, separately, a government agency engaged us to migrate from legacy MAC-bypass authentication to 802.1X with Cisco ISE. Both organisations had 20+ branch sites, mixed-vendor endpoints, and zero tolerance for production disruption.
We delivered a distributed ISE 3.x deployment with regional PSNs, designed certificate-based authentication for managed endpoints with MAB fallback for IoT, and rolled out 802.1X site-cluster by site-cluster with rehearsed rollback at each phase. Both engagements hit 100% endpoint migration coverage on schedule. Documentation was good enough that the in-house teams ran the platform post-handover without further engagement.
Vendor-agnostic doesn't mean vendor-shallow. We deploy at depth in each platform listed below.
Threat model, compliance map, identity-source inventory, traffic-flow analysis. Vendor selection emerges from the requirements - not a pre-decided shortlist.
Policy extraction from legacy, deduplication, role-based access design, posture rules, ZTNA application catalogue. Clean policy, codified.
Full lab with identity provider, sample endpoints, failover scenarios and audit-evidence capture. Cutover plans rehearsed before they touch production.
Pilot site or pilot user group first. Validation gates. Then site-cluster phasing with monitoring and rollback procedures. No big-bang cutovers.
Operational runbooks, monitoring dashboards, audit evidence packs, training for your team and 30/60/90 hypercare. Or we stay on as co-managed operators.
SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) combines network connectivity (SD-WAN) with cloud-delivered security (SWG, CASB, ZTNA, FWaaS). SSE (Security Service Edge) is just the security half - no SD-WAN. If you already have a strong SD-WAN, SSE is the lighter rollout. If you're refreshing both at once, full SASE is the better economic call. We'll walk you through which fits your topology and TCO model.
A greenfield ISE deployment runs 8 to 16 weeks. A migration from Cisco ACS or another NAC platform runs 12 to 24 weeks because policy translation and endpoint phase-in require careful sequencing. 802.1X rollouts across distributed sites usually phase by site cluster over 3 to 9 months. We size every engagement against your endpoint count, authentication source and downtime tolerance.
Yes - and frequently do. The hardest part of any firewall migration is policy translation and rule rationalisation. We extract, deduplicate and clean policy before it ever touches the new platform. Common migrations we handle: ASA to Palo Alto, ASA to Fortinet, FTD to Palo Alto, and Check Point to Palo Alto or Fortinet.
Palo Alto Prisma is the most feature-complete and the choice for security-led organisations. Fortinet wins on cost and is excellent if your security team already runs FortiGate. Zscaler is the strongest SSE-only play and pairs well with any SD-WAN. Cato is best for greenfield SASE on a single vendor. We are not tied to any of them - the right answer depends on your existing stack, your team's skills and your contractual situation.
Yes. We offer co-managed and fully managed engagements for Cisco ISE and the major SASE platforms - policy changes, certificate lifecycle, posture updates, identity-source integration, troubleshooting. You either own the platform with us on retainer, or we operate it and brief your team monthly.
We do network-side incident response: lateral-movement isolation, segmentation enforcement, log forensics from the firewall and access layer, and post-incident architecture hardening. We do not do endpoint malware reverse engineering or legal forensic chain-of-custody work - for those we partner with specialist firms and stay in the network lane.
