Policy and rule changes
Security rules, NAT updates, object changes, access policy adjustments, and routine cleanup.
Normal firewall administration is handled through the ongoing service model.
Solution Area
Routine firewall administration under a monthly service model.
Firewall as a Service covers normal administration and policy maintenance for supported platforms, including rule changes, NAT updates, VPN adjustments, and firmware updates.
Routine change management
Firmware maintenance
Firmware and platform maintenance are handled as part of normal service.
Access and VPN updates
Rules, NAT, VPNs, and access needs can be updated as operational needs change.
Defined service boundaries
Routine changes are included. Major redesigns and vendor migrations are scoped separately.
Overview
Firewall administration should fit the operational need.
Firewall as a Service covers routine administration under a monthly model. It is built for reasonable operational changes, firmware maintenance, VPN updates, and normal firewall care. Larger redesigns require a separate scope and statement of work. That separation keeps day-to-day firewall administration responsive without turning every request into a project.
Common reasons to use it
- Routine firewall changes need faster handling
- Firmware and policy updates are inconsistent
- VPN changes need ongoing administrative support
- The firewall requires regular operational attention
What’s Included
Operational firewall management with defined service boundaries.
Firmware and platform maintenance
Firmware updates and routine platform maintenance for supported firewall vendors.
VPN and remote access support
Remote access changes, site-to-site VPN updates, and reasonable vendor VPN setup work.
Administrative oversight
Regular operational attention to firewall changes, maintenance, service requests, and platform condition.
Management Model
Routine firewall care separated from major architecture work.
Step 01
Review
Confirm the firewall platform, current state, administrative access, and support expectations.
Step 02
Cover
Bring supported firewalls under the monthly management model for routine administration.
Step 03
Maintain
Handle routine firmware, policy, VPN, NAT, and access changes as part of normal service.
Step 04
Scope separately
Major redesigns, vendor swaps, segmentation projects, and zero-trust rebuilds remain project work.
FAQ
Common questions.
How is this different from hourly support?
Routine firewall administration is covered under a monthly model instead of being billed as a separate event every time.
Does it include VPN changes and policy updates?
Yes. Routine VPN adjustments, policy changes, access rules, NAT updates, and related administration are part of the model.
What is not included?
Major redesigns, firewall vendor migrations, large segmentation projects, and zero-trust rebuilds are separate project work with their own scope.
Do you support every firewall vendor?
No. MP Technology supports vendors it can manage responsibly. Existing environments can be reviewed before bringing them under service.
Next Step
Bring routine firewall administration under a clearer service model.
Start with the current firewall vendor, number of devices, VPN needs, and the type of changes you normally request.
