    IPSEC VPN
    Virtualization – VMware ESXi
    Backup – Synology, Veeam

Client challenges

  • The need for a high level of network and data security
  • Connecting multiple sites to a single network environment
  • Unclear or insufficiently defined security policies
  • Risk of unauthorised access and security incidents
  • The need for a stable and scalable server infrastructure
  • Reliable backup and fast data recovery

Our solution

The solution we have implemented

Introduction of the NGFW firewall

  • Implementing Sophos XGS 118 Advanced Firewall as a central security point

  • Monitoring and filtering network traffic at application and user level

  • Protect against intrusions, malicious connections and attacks from the internet

  • Control access to internet services and external resources

  • Secure separation of individual network segments

The solution is tailored to business and production environments where stability and security are key.

Security policies and network segmentation

  • Definition of clear and transparent security policies according to roles and systems

  • Network segmentation between:

    • administrative users

    • server infrastructure

    • video surveillance system

    • IoT and other connected devices

    • to a hosted network

This design significantly reduces security risks and limits the impact of potential incidents.

Connecting sites with IPSEC VPN

  • Establish a secure and encrypted IPSEC VPN connection between sites

  • Secure communication and real-time data transfer

  • Centralised access to server services

  • A single network environment regardless of the physical location of users

The solution enables stable operation even under heavy workloads and company growth.

Server infrastructure

  • Setting up a virtualised server infrastructure on the VMware ESXi platform

  • Separating individual services into virtual environments

  • High availability and better capacity control

  • Easy to upgrade and extend your infrastructure

The virtual environment provides a stable base for all business applications.

Backup system

  • Centralised backup system

  • Using Synology as a local storage environment

  • Automated backups using Veeam

  • Regular backups of virtual servers

  • Rapid recovery in the event of an outage, fault or security incident

  • Protection against data loss and ransomware attacks

Project results

By deploying a comprehensive network and security solution, the client gained:

  • a secure and segmented network environment

  • reliable connectivity between sites

  • a high level of protection for business data

  • a stable and scalable server infrastructure

  • a reliable backup and recovery system

Conclusion

The Network Security and Connectivity project provides a solid basis for a stable and secure IT environment. The combination of an advanced firewall, VPN connections, virtualised server infrastructure and backups enables long-term data protection and supports the company’s continued growth.
