Cybersecurity
Security that fits your network and users
Strengthen the security of your infrastructure with controls suited to the way your business operates. Fluid Infrastructure Services helps you plan, implement and support network security and secure user access.
Why this matters
New sites, remote working and connected devices change the paths into your environment. A clear view of those paths helps you prioritise practical improvements and decide how security controls will be managed.
How we can help
The proposal defines the work, deliverables and responsibilities for your project.
Network security design
Review how traffic and systems are protected within the agreed network scope.
Firewalls and secure connectivity
Plan policy and configuration around business access requirements.
User and device access
Consider authentication and access controls appropriate to the environment.
Cloud and remote access security
Review suitable controls for users accessing services away from the workplace.
Implementation and documentation
Coordinate changes, record agreed policies and define operational responsibilities.
Cybersecurity platforms and solutions
We combine perimeter protection and network access policies around your risks and existing systems. Platform, licensing and device compatibility are confirmed as part of the solution design.
Cisco
Cisco Secure Firewall platforms help control traffic and enforce network security policies. Fluid can assess your firewall architecture, configure the agreed controls and plan a staged migration that accounts for business applications.
- Traffic rules and network segmentation appropriate to your security design.
- Secure remote access and VPN arrangements for supported deployment models.
- Intrusion prevention and security visibility using the selected licensed capabilities.
Cisco ISE
Cisco Identity Services Engine provides policy-based Network Access Control. Fluid can connect identity, device context and network enforcement so access decisions reflect who is connecting and what they are using.
- 802.1X authentication, including certificate-based EAP-TLS where appropriate.
- Device profiling and access policies using supported switches and wireless platforms.
- Guest and BYOD onboarding, with segmentation options defined by the chosen architecture.
FortiGate
Fortinet FortiGate combines next-generation firewall functions with secure connectivity capabilities. Fluid can select and configure the platform around your sites, applications, remote access needs and agreed security policies.
- Firewall, VPN and segmentation rules suited to your network architecture.
- Application control, web filtering and intrusion prevention through selected subscriptions.
- Secure SD-WAN options to coordinate site traffic and connectivity policies.
Our approach
We establish the security requirements and existing controls, then agree a scoped plan for design or improvement. Implementation includes appropriate testing and a handover covering ownership, management and support.
Network Access Control with Cisco ISE
Control network access at the point of connection. Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) brings authentication and authorisation policies together so access can reflect the user, device and business requirements.
Identity-based access
Define who and what can connect to your wired and wireless networks, using policies suited to staff, visitors and connected devices.
802.1X and certificate authentication
Plan secure authentication, including EAP-TLS, alongside your certificates, endpoint configuration and identity systems.
Device visibility and access policies
Use Cisco ISE profiling and supported network controls to classify devices and apply appropriate access.
Guest and BYOD access
Design onboarding and access arrangements for visitors and personal devices, with the required network and licensing capabilities confirmed.
We assess your switches, wireless platform, identity sources and certificate requirements, then agree a staged deployment with pilot testing and clear handover. Available features depend on the selected ISE licensing and network device capabilities.
Common questions
Useful starting points before we discuss your project.
Will you work with our internal IT team?
We can agree a delivery scope and responsibilities alongside your team so implementation and ongoing management are clearly owned.
Does installing a security product make us compliant?
Technology supports your security controls. Compliance also depends on how your organisation governs, uses and maintains those controls.
