Router Configuration and Firewalls
The routers that you use are essential in ongoing data communication between existing internal devices and external systems.
However, when you’re sending data back and forth, there’s always a risk for cyberattacks and vulnerabilities. That’s why you need to make sure that your network is configured correctly with firewalls in place and regularly maintained. Catalyst provides services to improve shared internet access using firewall safety and routers that can perform optimally across networks. We sell, install, and maintain routers and firewalls for businesses of all sizes.
Firewall Installation and Maintenance
Businesses that operate online need to have a certain level of security in place to avoid outside threats and malicious attackers.
That’s where a firewall comes in. A firewall helps keep attackers and external threats from accessing your system and breaching your secured data. It helps to monitor all network traffic and identify and block unwanted operators.
While modems provided from your Internet Service Provider (ISP) offer basic firewall protection, the threats in today’s landscape demand more intensive security. This can be achieved through a Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW). Next-Generation Firewalls combine traditional firewall security with additional network device filtering functionalities. This allows for optimized protection against hackers and data breaches. Catalyst provides NGFW through Fortinet’s Security Fabric, which allows for an application and control firewall that uses in-line deep packet inspection (DPI), an intrusion prevention system (IPS), web filtering, antivirus, antispam, mobile security, and IP reputation and Anti-Botnet security services all in one. Stop worrying about compliance and security breaches—partner with Catalyst today. We integrate Fortinet firewalls alongside AI systems to provide secure IT managed services and support.
Network Security Auditing
Network security is the process of taking both hardware and software preventative measures to help protect the underlying networking infrastructure.
Comprehensive network security protects from unauthorized access, misuse, malfunction, modification, destruction, or improper disclosure. This, in turn, creates a secure platform for computers, users, and programs to perform their permitted critical functions within a secure environment. The technicians at Catalyst pair network security with high level cyber security, which offers complete protection of your systems, networks, and programs from digital attacks.
At Catalyst, we understand that your network needs to be protected from data breaches. With a rise in cyberattacks, cyber security and network security is essential to protecting sensitive information within your company and reducing the risk that your clients’ data will be stolen or shared.
High-quality network security isn’t complete without the proper backup programs. Your network is only as good as your last backup, which is why Catalyst pairs extensive services with backups from IDrive and Carbonite to protect you and your data from hackers and data breaches. Our managed network security auditing includes support services from trusted anti-virus/anti-malware software, PC health monitoring, and remote support. This gives us a comprehensive overview on the security of your network so we’re able to quickly and efficiently spot and disarm any threats before they infiltrate your system. IDrive provides cloud solutions to protect your data across every Internet enabled device in your network. Carbonite backup and support services are also available for laptops, PCs, and servers.
Catalyst is proud to be an authorized Fortinet reseller. This allows us to help ensure your network is protected and your data is secure from modern threats. By integrating the Fortinet Security Fabric, you’ll receive continual assessments of risks and automatic adjustments to benefit from comprehensive real-time protection by malicious actors or malware. Fortinet has been regularly used in K-12 school districts, colleges and universities, alongside the retail, financial, manufacturing, and healthcare industries.

Information Technology and Network Disaster Planning
With the right network and comprehensive IT managed services in place, you’ll reduce the likelihood that you face interruptions to your network.
Unfortunately, sometimes things can happen, which is why having a network disaster recovery plan in place is essential. Catalyst provides IT and network disaster planning to businesses to ensure that you have a plan ready in case your network is interrupted for whatever reason. This could be due to a malicious actor, natural disaster, or even an internal accident. Instead of trying to solve the problem during the midst of a distressing situation, Catalyst will help you get prepared for the worst, even if you never need to use it.
System Training
For those who aren’t as tech savvy as they’d like to be, Catalyst offers online or in-person computer training.
This is a one-on-one training session that allows for complete customization regarding areas of focus. System training is also essential for new employees or entire teams who need to be briefed on new system technology throughout the office. There are many practical applications of ongoing training, so even the most technologically experienced individual can benefit from one-on-one training sessions periodically.
Project Planning, Proposals, and Budgeting
As technology ages, it becomes obsolete.
This isn’t because devices stop working. It’s because technological advancements are constantly being made to improve the performance, speed, and efficiency of software. Catalyst will help you with project planning, proposals, and budgeting by providing consultation services regarding new purchases and upgrading software. Our team of experienced IT professionals understand the dynamic market, allowing us to give you honest, dependable insight as to the ongoing effectiveness of your equipment.
Database Programming
The hardware side of technology is fairly straightforward.
You’ll need certain pieces of equipment in order to get desired results. For example, you can’t go online without a computer, tablet, cell phone, or other interconnected device in hand. The software side of technology is often the more complicated of the two. You’ll need to program your technology and software to perform the appropriate tasks in the most efficient manner. Catalyst assists with database programming to help you improve the relationship between your data sets to make the most out of new and existing clients. We specialize in SQL server sales, installation, and maintenance.
