Network & perimeter security

Firewalls and network security tuned for how your traffic actually flows.

Rua Technologies licenses, deploys, and manages next-generation firewalls and network security from Fortinet, Palo Alto Networks, and SonicWall, sized to your site count and bandwidth needs.

A firewall bought off a spec sheet and left on default settings isn't protecting much. We size, configure, and maintain the policy behind it.

Vendors we support

Network security from three leading vendors.

Fortinet FortiGate

Enterprise · Next-gen firewall

Next-generation firewalls with integrated SD-WAN, sized from branch offices to data center deployments. We size the right FortiGate model against your throughput and site count, set up site-to-site VPN between locations, and configure FortiManager so policy changes push to every branch from one console instead of device by device.

IncludedNGFW, SD-WAN, VPN, intrusion prevention
  • Firewall sizing and licensing
  • Site-to-site VPN setup
  • FortiManager central console
  • SD-WAN configuration for multi-site connectivity

Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA)

Enterprise · Identity-based access

Identity-based access that replaces flat VPN access with per-application, continuously verified connections for remote and hybrid teams. We connect it to your existing identity provider, scope access per application instead of granting the whole network, and roll it out alongside or in place of legacy VPN.

IncludedCloud-delivered ZTNA, agent and agentless access, identity provider integration
  • Replaces or complements legacy VPN
  • Per-app access instead of full network access
  • Continuous identity and device verification
  • Works alongside existing firewall infrastructure

Palo Alto Networks

Enterprise · Next-gen firewall

Application-aware next-generation firewalls with advanced threat prevention for larger, security-mature environments. We size the right PA-Series appliance against your throughput needs, migrate policies over from legacy firewalls without leaving gaps, and set up Panorama so multi-site policy stays consistent across every deployed unit.

IncludedNGFW, threat prevention, GlobalProtect VPN
  • Firewall sizing and licensing
  • Policy migration from legacy firewalls
  • Panorama central management
  • Application-aware inspection for granular control

SonicWall

Business · Firewall & VPN

Cost-effective firewall and VPN protection suited to small and mid-sized offices and branch locations. We size the right TZ or NSa series appliance against your office's connection count, set up branch VPN tunnels back to head office, and configure content filtering policies that match your acceptable-use requirements.

IncludedFirewall, VPN, content filtering
  • Firewall sizing and licensing
  • Branch office VPN setup
  • Central management for multi-site rollouts
  • Content filtering policy configuration

How we help

From sizing through ongoing policy management.

Firewall sizing & selection

A recommendation based on site count, bandwidth, and throughput needs, not just the biggest box available.

  • Site and bandwidth assessment
  • Vendor and model comparison
  • Licensing and subscription selection
  • Redundancy and failover planning
  • Migration planning from existing firewalls

Best for: Organizations choosing or replacing perimeter firewalls across one or more sites.

Typical timeline: Sizing and recommendation typically takes 3–5 business days.

Deployment & VPN setup

Firewall deployment, site-to-site VPN, and remote access configuration tested before go-live.

  • Firewall deployment and cutover
  • Site-to-site VPN configuration
  • Remote access VPN for hybrid teams
  • Network segmentation setup
  • Failover and high-availability configuration

Best for: Teams deploying new firewalls or connecting multiple office locations.

Typical timeline: Deployment typically takes 1–2 weeks per site.

Policy & rule management

Firewall rules and intrusion prevention policies reviewed and tightened, not left on vendor defaults.

  • Firewall rule review and cleanup
  • Intrusion prevention policy tuning
  • Application and content filtering rules
  • Change management for rule updates
  • Regular policy audits

Best for: Businesses whose firewall rules have grown untidy over years of ad hoc changes.

Typical timeline: Initial policy review typically takes 1 week.

Ongoing monitoring & support

Firmware updates, license renewals, and log review so your perimeter stays current, not just installed once.

  • Firmware and security patch updates
  • License and subscription renewal tracking
  • Log review and alert monitoring
  • Incident response coordination
  • Quarterly configuration review

Best for: Organizations that want their firewall actively maintained, not a set-and-forget appliance.

Typical timeline: Ongoing monitoring begins immediately after deployment.

FAQ

Common questions about network security.

QWhich firewall vendor is right for us?

It depends on site count, bandwidth, and how security-mature your team is — Fortinet and SonicWall suit most branch and mid-size deployments, while Palo Alto fits larger, more complex environments.

QCan you migrate our firewall rules from an existing appliance?

Yes. We review and migrate existing rules during deployment, cleaning up redundant or conflicting policies rather than copying them as-is.

QDo you support multi-site deployments with site-to-site VPN?

Yes. We configure site-to-site VPN and central management so multiple locations are administered from one console.

QIs firewall management included, or just the initial setup?

Both are available. We handle initial sizing and deployment, and can also provide ongoing policy management, firmware updates, and monitoring.

QHow does this differ from your Endpoint Security page?

Network security protects traffic at the perimeter (firewalls, VPN); endpoint security protects individual devices. Most organizations need both, layered together.
