Service at a glance

Setup of Kerio Control, Ideco or UserGate for companies that need internet traffic control and secure remote access. Get a working UTM gateway with access policies, VPN and traffic reports. Remote work, from 10 000 ₽, 2-3 days.

Employees spend their work hours on social media, nobody knows who goes where online, and when you need to give a branch office access, you end up duct-taping something together. Deploying Kerio Control, Ideco or UserGate closes this topic for good: one gateway, one set of rules, one report for management. Fits companies that need a UTM gateway (a single device for traffic filtering, VPN and access control) instead of a pile of disconnected tools.

Gathering requirements. I discuss what access policies you need, what filtering, whether VPN is needed and which reports matter to management.
UTM installation. I deploy the chosen solution: Kerio Control, Ideco or UserGate, on the prepared server or hardware platform.
Policies and users. I configure access rules, add users, and if needed integrate with Active Directory (the directory service for managing employee accounts).
VPN and filtering. I set up secure remote access and configure blocking of unwanted content by categories and rules.
Reports and handover. I set up traffic reports, verify all rules work, and hand over the gateway with documentation.

What hardware you’ll need for Ideco or UserGate

You need a server or virtual machine for the chosen solution, or a vendor hardware appliance, if you decide to go that route. You also need a license for the chosen product: without it, the gateway won’t work at full capacity.

What we deploy on your infrastructure

At the end you get a working UTM gateway: internet access rules, content filtering, VPN for employees and branch offices, traffic and user reports. Everything configured for your requirements, not off a template.

What you get as a result of the deployment

Controlled employee internet access
Traffic reports: you see who goes where and how much traffic they use
Documentation on all configured access policies
A ready VPN for remote work and connecting offices
