Your network is the backbone of your organization. It connects your people, systems, and data — and it’s also the primary target for modern cyberattacks.
Preferred delivers Network Security services that protect your business from unauthorized access, data loss, and compliance risks through proactive monitoring, managed firewalls, and advanced threat prevention.
We keep your network secure, compliant, and resilient against evolving cyber threats.

Fully integrated in TotalCare™ services
A single misconfigured router or firewall rule can expose your entire environment.
Most small and mid-sized businesses lack real-time visibility into network traffic, leaving them vulnerable to hidden threats, data exfiltration, and compliance violations.
Preferred’s Network Security services combine proactive defense, continuous monitoring, and expert management to safeguard your network perimeter and every device connected to it.
We don’t just install tools. We build an ecosystem of protection that evolves with your business.
Our network defense approach combines modern security tools, experienced cybersecurity professionals, and continuous oversight from our Security Operations Center (SOC).
We protect every layer of your network, from the firewall to the endpoint.
Your firewall is your first line of defense.
Preferred manages, monitors, and maintains next-generation firewalls that filter malicious traffic and enforce security policies automatically.
Firewall Management Includes:
Initial configuration and policy optimization
Continuous rule review and updates
Threat intelligence integration
VPN management and secure remote access
Reporting for compliance and insurance audits
We make sure your firewall always performs as it should, blocking threats before they reach your systems.
Attackers don’t just knock on the door; they look for hidden ways in.
Our IDS/IPS systems detect and stop suspicious network activity before it leads to a breach.
Core Protections:
24/7 network traffic analysis
Real-time alerts and automated blocking
Detection of known and zero-day exploits
Integration with endpoint detection (EDR)
Continuous tuning by security engineers
If someone tries to penetrate your defenses, we’ll know within minutes and take action immediately.
One compromised account shouldn’t jeopardize your entire business.
We design segmented network structures that limit access, isolate sensitive systems, and stop attacks from spreading.
Our Approach:
Role-based access control (RBAC)
VLAN segmentation for data isolation
Guest and contractor network separation
Zero-trust verification for device access
Ongoing policy enforcement and auditing
By minimizing risk exposure, you reduce the blast radius of any potential incident.
Hybrid and remote work environments demand secure connectivity. Preferred configures encrypted VPNs and zero-trust gateways that keep your remote users connected without exposing your network.
Capabilities Include:
Encrypted VPN configuration and management
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) for remote users
Continuous monitoring of active sessions
Automatic lockout of unauthorized devices
Detailed session logging for compliance
Your remote workforce stays productive, while your data stays protected.
Our 24/7 Security Operations Center (SOC) monitors network traffic in real time to detect anomalies and neutralize threats.
Monitoring Includes:
Real-time event logging and alerting
Integration with Managed Detection & Response (MDR)
Proactive remediation of vulnerabilities
Monthly or Quarterly reporting based on need
Automated notifications for policy breaches
You’ll always know the status of your network security. And we’ll handle incidents before they escalate.
