Hosted Firewall
Enterprise-grade network security delivered from the cloud — no hardware, no maintenance, always up to date.
Traditional hardware firewalls require manual firmware updates, specialist configuration and regular replacement cycles every 3–5 years. Research by Cisco found that 60% of SME firewall breaches exploited known vulnerabilities that had patches available but were never applied. For businesses without dedicated IT staff, keeping an on-premise firewall properly maintained is genuinely difficult.
A Centric Comms hosted firewall is a fully managed, cloud-delivered next-generation firewall. Firmware is updated automatically, threat signatures refresh hourly and our team monitors for anomalies. You get enterprise-grade security without the enterprise-grade IT team.
All products include UK-based support, static IP where applicable and a named account manager. No hidden costs.
Switching supplier always raises questions. Here are honest answers to the ones we hear most often.
Existing Hardware Investment
Already have a firewall appliance? We can work alongside existing hardware during a transition period or help you calculate the true cost of maintaining your current setup vs. moving to a hosted model.
Compliance Requirements
PCI DSS, Cyber Essentials and ISO 27001 all require documented firewall policies. Our hosted solution comes with pre-built compliance templates and audit-ready reporting.
Staff Awareness
Technology alone isn't enough — we include basic staff security awareness guidance with every firewall deployment to address the human element of network security.
