Your firewall is more than just the gateway to the internet. It's one of the first lines of defence protecting your business from today's evolving cyber threats.

A well-managed firewall helps control who and what can access your network, blocks malicious traffic, and strengthens your overall security posture before threats have a chance to reach your systems.

At Summit Networks, we help businesses optimise their firewall and edge security through comprehensive reviews and best-practice configurations, including:

• Firewall rule assessments and optimisation
• Security profile configuration
• Secure VPN and remote access management
• Web filtering and application control
• Intrusion prevention and threat detection
• Outbound traffic monitoring and protection
• Firmware updates and licence management
• Network segmentation recommendations

Cyber threats are constantly evolving, and your firewall should evolve with them. Regular reviews help ensure your business remains protected, compliant, and prepared for whatever comes next.

Is your firewall doing everything it should? Contact Summit Networks today to review your firewall and edge security.

Having a backup running in the background gives peace of mind, until you actually need to restore your data.

The reality? Having backups isn't the same as being able to recover.

A successful backup strategy isn't just about saving files; it's about how fast, completely, and reliably you can bring your operations back online when disaster strikes.

At Summit Networks, we help businesses bridge the gap between storing data and true disaster readiness across Microsoft 365, physical servers, endpoints, and cloud platforms.

We evaluate the critical pillars of your recovery setup:

Coverage & Frequency: Ensuring all vital systems are backed up on the right schedule.

Routine Restore Testing: Verifying data integrity before an emergency hits.

Recovery Time Objectives (RTO): Setting realistic timelines to minimize costly downtime.

Immutable & Offsite Storage: Protecting backups against ransomware and accidental deletion.

Disaster Recovery Planning: Building a clear roadmap for seamless business continuity.

Don't wait for a system outage or ransomware attack to find out if your backups actually work.

Microsoft 365 powers daily operations for thousands of businesses—but running on default settings leaves major gaps in your defense.

A default setup often hides critical security blind spots, including:

MFA & Conditional Access: Missing or weak multi-factor controls for remote logins.

Mailbox & Forwarding Rules: Undetected auto-forwarding rules sending sensitive data externally.

OneDrive & SharePoint: Loose permissions exposing internal files to external parties.

Inactive Accounts & Auditing: Forgotten user accounts with active access and zero alert logging.

A Microsoft 365 Security Assessment from Summit Networks gives you full visibility into your tenant—identifying key vulnerabilities and delivering practical, high-impact fixes that won't disrupt your team's day-to-day workflow.

Security in M365 isn't a one-and-done setup. It requires ongoing visibility, control, and fine-tuning.

Is your M365 environment as secure as you think? Book a Microsoft 365 Security Assessment with Summit Networks today: www.summitnet.co.za
