We hear these from business owners across Edmonton every week. If any of these sound like your business — you need a proper firewall.
🔓
A basic ISP router is not a firewall. It has no traffic inspection, no threat detection, and no protection against modern cyberattacks.
🏠
Remote workers connecting without a VPN are a wide-open door into your business network. Every coffee shop WiFi they use is a risk.
📋
Firewalls need regular updates and rule reviews. An outdated config can be worse than none — it gives false confidence.
⚠️
60% of Canadian SMBs that suffer a cyberattack close within 6 months. Most attacks come through unprotected networks.
🔀
If a customer’s infected device connects to your guest WiFi and you share a network, your business data is exposed.
🏥
Alberta’s PIPA and HIA regulations require proper network security controls. An unsecured network is a compliance violation.
Every service below is something we do hands-on in Edmonton — not outsourced, not remote-only. Real technicians, real hardware, real results.
We supply, install, and configure enterprise-grade firewalls for Edmonton small businesses. Includes full network assessment, hardware recommendation, and testing.
Already have a firewall but not sure if it’s properly configured? We audit your existing setup, close unnecessary ports, review all rules, and enable intrusion detection.
Secure VPN connections for remote or hybrid staff — access company files, servers, and systems safely from anywhere without exposing your network.
Separate guest WiFi from staff systems, isolate sensitive data, and prevent one compromised device from taking down your entire network.
Firewalls aren’t set-and-forget. Monthly management keeps your protection current as threats evolve — available as part of any managed IT plan.
Design and install complete network infrastructure — managed switches, access points, structured cabling, and rack installation. Built right the first time.
We’re not tied to one vendor. We recommend the right hardware for your specific business size, budget, and needs — from enterprise FortiGate appliances to cost-effective Ubiquiti solutions.

Large companies have IT security teams. Hackers know small businesses don’t — and they deliberately target that gap. A proper firewall is your first and most important line of defence.

Alberta PIPA compliance note: Alberta’s Personal Information Protection Act and Health Information Act require businesses handling personal data to implement ‘reasonable security safeguards.’ An unprotected network is not just a business risk — it’s a regulatory violation for dental clinics, law firms, and accountants.
