Firewalls and network security for Tanzanian organisations
Stop attacks at the edge of your network, keep staff off unsafe sites, and know what is happening on your network. Supplied, set up and supported locally.
Firewalls that protect the whole network
A firewall sits between your network and the internet. It decides what comes in and what goes out. A good one stops attacks before they reach your computers, keeps staff off unsafe sites and gives you a clear view of what is happening on your network.
We supply new firewalls, or take over and reconfigure the one you already have. We set it up, document it and keep it updated.
- Perimeter protection for the whole office or campus
- Intrusion detection and prevention (IDS / IPS)
- Web filtering and application control
- Secure VPN for staff working from home or other branches
- Multiple internet lines with automatic failover
- Monitoring and alerts, so problems are seen early
Netgate partner in Tanzania
HubNet is an authorised Netgate partner, the company behind pfSense. Netgate appliances give you enterprise-grade protection without the high yearly renewal fees that come with many big-name firewalls. We also deploy OPNsense with Zenarmor for next-generation features like application control and detailed web filtering.
Already using another brand? We support most firewalls in use in Tanzania, and we will give you an honest view on whether to renew or replace.
Security in layers, not just antivirus
No single product keeps a business safe. We put several layers in place so that if one is bypassed, the next one catches it:
- Firewall at the edge of the network
- Intrusion prevention to block known attacks
- Endpoint protection (antivirus and anti-malware) on every computer
- Regular updates for Windows, servers and applications
- Correct configuration of routers, switches and Wi-Fi
- Backups that are tested and kept away from the main network
- Staff training so people spot phishing and scams
Endpoint protection
We are a Kaspersky partner and also supply eScan, which many public institutions prefer. We install, manage and renew licences, and check that every computer is actually protected.
Security reviews and IT audits
Not sure how exposed you are? We review your firewall, network, user access, backups and policies, then give you a short written report with the risks ranked and what to fix first. Useful before an audit, after an incident, or when a new manager takes over.
Questions
Is antivirus enough?
No. Antivirus only sees what reaches the computer. A firewall stops threats at the edge of your network, and patching, backups and staff awareness close the other gaps. We set up all of these layers.
We already have a firewall. Can you manage it?
Yes. We support most of the firewall brands in use in Tanzania. We can review the rules, update it, fix licensing problems, or tell you honestly whether it is time to replace it.
Our firewall licence renewal is very expensive. What are the options?
Send us the renewal quote. We will compare it with a Netgate or OPNsense based firewall that gives the same protection, supported locally, and show you the real cost over three years.
Can you block social media or unsafe sites for staff?
Yes. Web filtering and application control let you block or limit sites and apps by user, group or time of day.
Tell us what is going wrong.
Send a WhatsApp message or call us. Describe the problem in your own words. We will tell you honestly what it needs, what it will cost and how soon we can be there.
