Managed FortiGate, Firewall & Secure Network Services

We run, optimise and secure your network so outages, drift and misconfigurations stop being your problem. Whether you already run FortiGate or need someone to take the whole network estate off your plate, we keep it fast, current and defensible — with reporting you can take to an audit.

// the shift

Most FortiGate guidance teaches you to run it yourself. We run it for you.

There is no shortage of guides on tuning FortiGate performance, building a Security Fabric, writing firewall policy or standing up a VPN. They are useful — if you have the time, the engineers and the appetite to own it. Most teams don’t. The firewall quietly drifts, policy becomes a tangle no one wants to touch, firmware falls behind, and the network only gets attention when something breaks.

Securitribe runs, optimises and hardens it for you — or fixes the estate you already have. You keep the business running; we keep the network fast, patched and secure, with the evidence to prove it.

// what we manage

What we manage

One managed network and firewall layer across the things that actually keep a network fast and secure — whichever vendors you run.

FortiGate management & hardening

Day-to-day management, firmware currency and security hardening of your FortiGate estate — configuration, policy, firmware and Fabric kept in good order, not left to drift.

Cisco & multi-vendor networks

Cisco and mixed-vendor switching, routing and firewalls managed alongside FortiGate, so a heterogeneous network is run as one coherent estate rather than a set of silos.

Secure web & internet gateway

A secure gateway for outbound traffic — web filtering, inspection and egress control — so what leaves your network is as governed as what comes in.

Routing & BGP

Routing design and operation, including BGP for multi-site, multi-link and cloud connectivity, so traffic takes the right path and fails over cleanly when a link drops.

Performance optimisation & tuning

Throughput, session and policy tuning so the firewall isn’t the bottleneck — inspection profiles, hardware offload and rule order optimised for real-world load.

24/7 monitoring & response

Continuous monitoring of network health, availability and security events, with a team that responds to outages and incidents around the clock — not just an alert in an inbox.

// already running fortigate?

Already running FortiGate? We keep it fast, current and secure.

You don’t have to start again. If you already run FortiGate, we take over the parts that quietly erode — performance, Fabric, policy, VPN, troubleshooting and patching — and keep the investment you’ve already made working the way it should.

Optimisation & tuning

We tune inspection profiles, policy order and hardware offload so an existing FortiGate performs the way it should under your real traffic — not just on the datasheet.

Security Fabric

We get the Fabric working as intended — FortiSwitch, FortiAP and FortiAnalyzer integrated and visible — rather than a box that happens to support it.

Policy management

We rationalise sprawling rule bases, remove the dead and overlapping rules, and keep policy tight, documented and reviewable — so change stops being frightening.

VPN & remote access

Site-to-site and remote-access VPN built and maintained for reliability and security, so remote management and remote work stay up without becoming the weak link.

Troubleshooting

When something is slow, dropping or behaving oddly, we diagnose and fix it — and feed the root cause back into configuration so it doesn’t recur.

Currency & patching

Firmware and signature currency managed on a cadence, so known issues and vulnerabilities are closed before they become an outage or an audit finding.

// cross-vendor depth

Agnostic by capability, not by sales pitch

Securitribe partners with both Fortinet and Cisco, so we can supply and stand up either where it fits. The difference is that we’re not a single-vendor shop pushing one product line. Because our engineers have genuine cross-vendor depth — FortiGate, Cisco, secure gateways and routing — we recommend and run the right fit for your network, then operate it properly.

That cross-vendor capability is the wedge: it means a recommendation you can trust and a team that can actually run a mixed estate, rather than advice bent to suit whatever one vendor a reseller happens to carry.

// secure gateway

Secure gateway and zero-trust-ready direction

Beyond the perimeter firewall, we run a secure web and internet gateway — outbound inspection, web filtering and egress control — so traffic leaving your network is governed, not just trusted.

We can also move you in a zero-trust direction with zero-trust network access for remote and third-party connectivity, replacing blanket VPN trust with per-application access. We’re honest about scope: this is a pragmatic step toward zero-trust networking, not a claim to deliver a complete zero-trust architecture overnight.

// why securitribe

Why Securitribe for your network

Onshore & Brisbane-based

Australian, Brisbane-based engineers running your network — onshore support and accountability, not a faceless offshore queue.

Certified engineers

Certified network and security engineers with real depth across FortiGate, Cisco, routing and secure gateways — the people who design it also run it.

Cross-vendor capability

Genuine multi-vendor depth means the right fit recommended and operated, and a mixed estate run as one — not bent to a single product line.

Aligned to Essential 8 & ISO 27001

Network controls operated and evidenced against the Essential Eight and ISO 27001, so the way we run your network supports your compliance rather than complicating it.

// representative engagement

What a typical engagement looks like

Representative of a typical engagement; client details generalised.

Situation

A business running a drifting, hard-to-manage FortiGate estate — firmware behind, a sprawling rule base no one wanted to touch, intermittent slowdowns and no clear evidence of what was actually configured.

What we did

We took over management of the estate, tuned performance and inspection, rationalised and documented the firewall policy, brought firmware and the Security Fabric current, and put monitoring and a reporting cadence in place.

Outcome

Fewer unexplained outages, a network that stayed current and patched, and tidy, documented policy with the evidence the business needed for audit — the firewall stopped being the thing that kept breaking.

Frequently asked questions

Do you manage FortiGate and Cisco?

Yes. We manage FortiGate and Cisco, and mixed-vendor environments where both live alongside each other. Our engineers have genuine cross-vendor depth, so a heterogeneous network is run as one coherent estate.

Yes. We onboard and take over management of your existing FortiGate, Cisco or mixed estate — you don’t have to rip and replace. We document what you have, tidy it up and run it from there.

Both. A large part of what we do is optimising and hardening FortiGates that are already in place — performance tuning, Security Fabric, policy clean-up, VPN and patching — as well as designing and deploying new ones where that’s the right fit.

Yes. Continuous monitoring of network health, availability and security events is part of the managed service, with a team that responds around the clock rather than leaving an alert in your inbox.

Yes. We design and operate routing, including BGP for multi-site, multi-link and cloud connectivity, so traffic takes the right path and fails over cleanly when a link drops.

Yes. We run a secure web and internet gateway — web filtering, inspection and egress control — so outbound traffic is governed, and we can move you toward zero-trust network access for remote and third-party connectivity.

No. We partner with both Fortinet and Cisco and can supply either, but we’re agnostic by capability — our cross-vendor depth means we recommend and run the right fit for your network rather than pushing one product line.

No. We add the network and security layer alongside your existing IT provider or in-house team. They keep doing what they do; we own the managed firewall and network, and we work with them rather than around them.

Yes. We operate and evidence network controls against the Essential Eight and ISO 27001, so the way we run your network produces the documentation and assurance your audits expect.

Yes. We’re Brisbane-based with onshore engineers, and we support clients across Australia. You can reach us on 1300 271 407.
