Network Security

Labyrinth Technology have been helping London business with their network security for 20 years.

But what is a network and how do you protect it?

Your network connects together all your devices so they can communicate with each other and the internet. Networks are essential but they also expose you to vulnerabilities that can lead to a cyber-attack. Implementing security controls, policies and practices is fundamental to reducing the risk and impact of a cyber-attack.

Cyber threats are evolving rapidly, and protecting your sensitive data demands a comprehensive approach to network security solutions. That’s why we provide tailored network security services, ensuring your entire network—from corporate to cloud infrastructure—is protected against external threats, data breaches, and unauthorized access. Our solutions are designed to keep your network traffic safe, your information secure, and your business running smoothly.

Zero Trust Network Access

In a world where cyber attacks are more sophisticated than ever, traditional network security approaches may not be enough. That’s why Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) has become a leading security strategy. Unlike older methods that relied on trusting everything inside the network perimeter, zero trust network access assumes that no user, device, or application can be trusted by default. Every attempt to access sensitive data must be verified, regardless of whether it originates inside or outside the corporate network.

We implement ZTNA by incorporating multi-factor authentication, secure network access, and advanced monitoring tools like intrusion prevention systems and deep packet inspection. This enables organizations to safeguard sensitive information and maintain a strong security posture. From mobile devices to cloud environments, we ensure secure access, limiting exposure to unknown threats and emerging threats that could compromise your network resources. It’s not just about building walls; it’s about continuously inspecting and validating every connection within your network.

Network Access Control

Another cornerstone of our network security strategy is Network Access Control (NAC). This means regulating who gets to access what within your system. With a robust NAC in place, you can control entry points, ensuring that only authorized users and compliant devices are allowed into your network. This involves endpoint compliance scanning, secure remote access, and monitoring network traffic to identify potential risks and suspicious activities.

Our approach to network security involves using advanced security tools to inspect network traffic, implementing data loss prevention measures, and segmenting networks to limit the impact of potential breaches. By leveraging a mix of cloud security, intrusion prevention systems, and threat intelligence, we help organizations maintain business continuity even during security incidents. Whether it’s managing access to cloud infrastructure or enforcing security policies across mobile users, our goal is to create a resilient, adaptable, and safe environment for your business.

Network Security Solutions

Labyrinth will help you with your network security strategy, risk assessments, disaster recovery planning, implementing and managing any security controls. Some (but by no means all) of the network security controls that all businesses should have can be found below.

Firewalls 

A dedicated business-grade hardware firewall is now fundamental for all organisations and we aren’t talking about the basic built in firewall function that most home or small business routers comes with. 

Our goal is to make IT outsourcing in London available and affordable to all businesses, giving them access to first-class IT support without having to sign and commit to a long-term contract.

Labyrinth Technology’s IT outsourcing in London services can either be all-inclusive ongoing support packages, designed to ensure that all of your support requirements are covered with one fixed monthly cost, or one-off IT projects. We are accredited by some of the world’s leading IT vendors, such as Microsoft, WatchGuard, Dell, ConnectWise and CyberTec. Our friendly team acts as an extension of your business, ensuring your systems are always maintained and secure.

Every business network should be protected by a UTM (Unified Threat Management) appliance, which helps prevent intruders from accessing data or carrying out cyber attacks that could disrupt business operations. A UTM appliance is typically a piece of hardware with security subscriptions which protect against a wide range of threats from a central point.

Labyrinth are WatchGuard Gold Partners and can provide a wide range of devices to meet different requirements.

You should also turn on software firewalls (such as Windows firewall) to protect your devices on the move.

Secure System Configuration

Systems that are improperly configured can expose your network to unnecessary risk. It is crucial that all network devices and network-connected devices are properly configured to ensure:

  • Unnecessary software is removed
  • Unused network ports and services are disabled
  • Default passwords are reset
  • Security tools are enabled and properly configured
  • The network is suitably segregated (for example, by implementing a secure managed WIFI system with a separate network for guest users)
  • The latest firmware updates are applied to protect against any newly discovered threats

For our Managed IT Support clients, we use secure configuration checklists for users, computers and other devices to ensure every system that we provision is securely and consistently configured to an agreed standard. We also recommend cloud device management tools such as Microsoft Intune and Azure Active Directory to allow central management of user and device settings.

Employee Governance and Awareness

Your employees must be trained and governed on how to safely use your systems in the form of company policies and periodic training either delivered in-house or through cloud user security awareness systems provided by Labyrinth.

Protect Your Business with Advanced Network Security

At Labyrinth Technology, we understand that securing your network goes far beyond simple antivirus software. As threats come in many forms, from brute force attacks to sophisticated network security attacks targeting enterprise networks and multi-cloud environments as well as small businesses. Our comprehensive network security solutions help manage security operations, whether you’re securing cloud data or protecting internal computer networks. We use advanced tools like intrusion prevention systems and threat detection to mitigate risk and safeguard your business.

Our approach includes consolidating security across different network segments and employing secure access strategies such as remote access VPN and Secure Access Service Edge (SASE). By leveraging these solutions, we can deny access to unauthorised users while ensuring that your data remains safe and secure.

At Labyrinth Technology, our priority is to keep your network secure, efficient, and ready for anything.

Many of our managed security services are also bundled into our core Managed IT Support plans. We will recommend a plan that best fits your needs and budget, so whether you have 5 or 100+ employees we can deliver a managed security service that properly balances likelihood vs impact vs cost. We’ll assess the impact cyber crime might have on your business, and take every possible measure to prevent anyone falling victim to them, and deliver this by cyber security awareness programs, system updates, data backups, and being fully conversant with the latest known threats, risks and vulnerabilities. By doing this we will always be able to recommend and deliver the software and hardware necessary to reduce the potential for security breaches.

Yes, that goes without saying. But we would stress that we always want to anticipate potential faults and resolve them before they become a serious issue. Patch or fix deployment will, if possible be done when the machine is not is use, and system updates, the enhancement of security features and proactive procedures are always carried out to help eliminate data loss.
