Firewall & network security · Mumbai

A business firewall, not a home router.

The ISP router protects nothing. For offices across Mumbai and the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, we replace it with a business firewall, segment the network, set up VPN for remote staff and branches, harden the rules, and keep the firmware and logs reviewed — with re-test evidence when an auditor asks.

What this is

PureTechs supplies, configures and supports business firewalls for offices across Mumbai and the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) — FortiGate, Sophos, pfSense or MikroTik depending on scope — including VPN, VLAN segmentation, dual-ISP failover, DNS filtering and ongoing rule, firmware and log review.

Who it is for

Any office still behind a plain ISP router, any business with remote or field staff who need secure access, branches that need to talk to head office, and businesses whose bank, client or auditor has asked what protects the network.

Problems this solves

  • The office sits behind the ISP router that came free with the connection
  • Remote staff connect over exposed RDP or TeamViewer with shared passwords
  • Guest phones, CCTV cameras and the Tally server all share one flat network
  • The firewall was installed years ago and never updated; nobody knows the rules
  • An audit or VAPT flagged open ports and there is no re-test evidence

What is included

  • Firewall selection sized for your users and internet speed — FortiGate, Sophos, pfSense or MikroTik, without vendor bias
  • Installation and cutover with minimal downtime, usually after hours
  • VLAN segmentation and inter-VLAN rules: office, servers, guest, CCTV
  • VPN: remote access for work-from-home and field staff, site-to-site between branches and godowns
  • Rule hardening — only what is needed stays open; RDP and other exposed services closed
  • Dual-ISP failover or load balancing, DNS-level filtering of phishing and malware domains
  • Ongoing care: firmware updates on a schedule, quarterly rule review, log and alert review

How it works

Four steps, every time.

  1. 01

    Assess

    What sits at the edge today, what is exposed to the internet, and what traffic really flows.

  2. 02

    Design

    Zones, VLANs, VPN topology and a rule set you can read, drawn before purchase.

  3. 03

    Deploy

    Installed, cut over, tested from inside and outside; users and branches connected.

  4. 04

    Maintain

    Firmware, rules and logs reviewed on schedule under AMC, with evidence kept for audits.

Platforms we work with

Named because we deploy and support them, not as a claim of exclusive partnership. The right choice depends on your scope.

What you receive

  • Configured firewall with documented rule set
  • VLAN and VPN diagram
  • Exposure scan before and after cutover
  • Firmware and rule review log
  • Evidence pack for audits and VAPT closure

What we do not promise. A firewall is one layer. It does not replace endpoint protection, MFA (multi-factor authentication) or tested backups — we will say so rather than sell you a box as a complete answer. Hardware is quoted at the time of scope; we do not tie you to one brand.

Straight answers

Questions we hear about Firewall & network security.

What firewall platforms does PureTechs support?

FortiGate, Sophos, pfSense and MikroTik are the platforms we deploy and support day to day. The choice depends on user count, internet speed, VPN needs and budget — not on a partnership quota.

When should a Mumbai business replace its firewall?

When it is the ISP router; when the vendor has stopped issuing firmware; when nobody can explain its rules; when remote staff need VPN it cannot provide; or when an audit has flagged it. Age alone is not the trigger — unsupported firmware is.

Can staff work from home securely?

Yes. A VPN on the firewall with per-user credentials and MFA where supported, and RDP or file access only through that tunnel — never open to the internet.

Will the firewall slow down the internet?

Not if it is sized correctly for your line speed and the features you switch on. Undersized boxes with every inspection feature enabled are the usual cause of "the firewall made things slow".

Do you support an existing firewall we bought elsewhere?

Yes, if it is a supported platform with valid firmware. We start with a rule and firmware review and tell you honestly whether it is worth keeping.

How much does a business firewall cost?

It depends on user count and internet speed, the platform chosen (FortiGate, Sophos, pfSense or MikroTik), how many VPN users and branches need connecting, and whether dual-ISP failover is in scope. We quote after understanding your setup, never before.
