Secure networks, servers and firewalls for Ontario businesses
We've been designing secure networks that work since 1994. We plan, build and look after the equipment your office runs on.
Servers built with security first
A Nautalex secure server build is set up, hardened and documented before it goes live, then monitored and patched for its whole life.
- Right-sized hardware. Servers from Dell, HP and Lenovo, sized for what you actually do.
- Hardened setup. Unneeded services off, access limited, updates and backups in place from day one.
- Ongoing care. Monitoring, patching and help when something goes wrong.
A firewall that's actually doing its job
Your firewall sits between your office and the internet. We configure and harden it to keep out what shouldn't get in.
- SonicWall and Cisco firewalls. Selected and set up to fit your office.
- Access rules and remote access. Only what you need is open, with secure access for staff working away from the office.
- Kept current. Firmware updates and replacement before the firewall goes out of support.

Networks and servers: common questions
How often should a firewall be replaced?
Firewalls stop getting security updates after a few years. Once that happens, new holes don't get fixed. We track end-of-support dates and plan replacements before they become a risk.
Do we still need a server in the office?
Maybe. Some businesses need one for software, large files or machine programs. Others are better off in Microsoft 365 or the cloud. We'll recommend what fits.
Can you set up secure remote access?
Yes. We set up remote access with the code-on-your-phone sign-in step and limit who can reach what, so working from home doesn't leave a door open.
