Next-generation firewall design
Design PA-Series or VM-Series firewalls around zones, application identification and the traffic your organisation actually needs to allow.
Palo Alto Networks Security
Organisations that have outgrown their firewall often find the replacement project is the hard part: rule bases nobody fully understands, remote access bolted on later, and security tooling that does not share what it sees. Umbrella Tech designs and implements Palo Alto Networks platforms, from next-generation firewalls to Prisma Access and Cortex XDR, so policy is deliberate, documented and ready for the team that will run it.
The problem
The challenge we help you address
Firewall estates tend to grow by exception. Rules accumulate, remote users connect through separate tools, and branch sites inherit configurations that were never reviewed. When the platform is replaced like-for-like, the same problems move to new hardware.
- Rule bases nobody can explain
- Remote access on separate tooling
- Branch sites configured differently
- Logs that nobody reviews
The outcome
What the engagement should deliver
Your organisation receives a firewall and secure access design that matches how the business operates, a documented policy that your team or provider can maintain, and test evidence that the agreed controls work as intended.
How we can help
Rule base migration and clean-up
Analyse the existing rule base, remove what is no longer required and translate the remainder into an application-aware policy.
Prisma Access and SASE
Extend consistent security policy to remote users and branch locations through Prisma Access where a cloud-delivered model fits.
Cortex XDR
Plan and implement endpoint detection and response where it supports your security operations and monitoring arrangements.
Frequently asked questions

Do you only work with Palo Alto Networks?
No. We recommend Palo Alto Networks where its capabilities fit your requirements, operating model and budget. Where another platform is a better fit, we will say so and design accordingly. Umbrella Tech is an independent consultancy and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Palo Alto Networks.
Can you migrate our existing firewall rules?
Yes. Rule migration is planned as part of the design. We review what each rule is for, remove what is no longer needed and validate the result before cutover.
