A properly secured network stops attackers at the perimeter, limits lateral movement inside, and detects intrusions before damage is done. Axio Networks designs and manages layered network security fo
Many Scottsdale offices run on a firewall that was configured once by whoever installed the internet, with a flat network where the guest Wi-Fi, the security cameras, the accounting server and every employee laptop can all see each other. One infected device — or one unpatched camera — is all it takes for an attacker to move anywhere they like.
Axio Networks designs and manages network security so a compromise stays contained: next-generation firewalls that inspect traffic rather than just ports, segmented networks that keep guests and devices away from data, secure remote access instead of exposed services, and monitoring that notices when something on your network starts behaving differently.
Fortinet and Cisco firewalls with IPS, application control, and SSL inspection to stop threats at the network perimeter.
VLAN design and microsegmentation to limit lateral movement so a compromise in one area cannot spread across your network.
Secure remote access with MFA enforcement and zero-trust principles so only verified users reach sensitive systems.
Guest Wi-Fi, IoT devices, printers, servers and workstations are separated into isolated network zones so an infection in one cannot spread to the rest.
Always-on VPN or zero-trust access for remote staff with MFA, replacing open remote-desktop ports and other exposed services attackers scan for constantly.
Rules, firmware and threat signatures are maintained continuously, changes are documented, and monthly reports show blocked threats and traffic trends.
We document your current network, firewall rules, Wi-Fi and remote access, and identify exposed services and flat-network risks.
A network plan separates users, guests, devices and servers with firewall policies between zones — built for how your business actually works.
Firewalls, switches and access points are configured or replaced, intrusion prevention is enabled, and remote access is moved behind MFA.
Firmware, rules and signatures are updated on a schedule, alerts are investigated, and the configuration is backed up and documented.
Engineers who design networks. Axio Networks is an infrastructure company first. We build the network — cabling, switching, Wi-Fi — and secure it as one system rather than bolting a firewall onto someone else’s design.
Enterprise-grade, SMB-sized. Sophos and UniFi platforms give Scottsdale businesses the same inspection, segmentation and visibility large companies use, managed for a predictable monthly fee.
Compliance ready. Segmentation and firewall documentation are core requirements of PCI DSS, HIPAA and the FTC Safeguards Rule. We produce the evidence auditors and insurers ask for.
Local hands when it matters. Network problems are often physical. Our technicians are in Scottsdale and can be on-site the same day for hardware, cabling or closet work.
Segmentation divides one flat network into separate zones — for example staff, guests, cameras and servers — with firewall rules controlling what can talk to what. If a device is compromised, the attacker is contained in that zone instead of reaching your servers and data. It is also required by PCI DSS for anyone handling card payments.
Not always. If your current firewall is supported, licensed and capable of inspecting traffic, we will manage and reconfigure it. Consumer routers, end-of-life units and unlicensed firewalls are replaced, usually with Sophos hardware sized for your office.
It is if it shares a network with your business systems. A properly isolated guest network lets visitors reach the internet and nothing else, which is how Axio Networks configures every client site.
With MFA-protected VPN or zero-trust access so remote users reach only what they need, and by closing exposed remote-desktop and file-sharing ports that attackers scan for around the clock.
Firewall management, monitoring and patching are included in Axio Networks managed IT plans. Network redesign, segmentation projects and hardware replacement are scoped as projects with a fixed quote.
