Network Management

Pro-active Maintenance, Technical Support & Cyber Security for Technologically Advanced Homes and VIP’s

Enterprise Grade Cyber Security: A carefully configured firewall blocks uninvited traffic from the internet from reaching your internal network. A private DNS server blocks requests from inside the network to known malicious servers. Segregated VLANs mitigate the risk of an insecure device exposing the entire network to attackers.

24/7 Monitoring & Alerting: Monitoring of your critical network infrastructure (Router, switches, WiFi access points and any other static systems such as control & automation systems, CCTV and alarm systems)


Remote Support: We will remotely assist you with network related issues, reboot crashed devices, make adjustments to Crestron or Lutron programs, carry out security audits, install security patches on vulnerable devices and much more.
