Network Security
Network Security in Zimbabwe
One weak door can open the whole network
A guest Wi-Fi that reaches the finance PCs, a remote desktop left open to the internet, or a firewall nobody has looked at since installation. These are common, quiet, and exactly what attackers look for first.
Firewall and router review
Rules, exposed services and settings checked against what your business actually needs open.
Wi-Fi security
Guest, staff and admin Wi-Fi checked for weak settings and for whether they are properly kept apart.
Network separation
Whether sensitive systems such as finance, records and servers are separated from everyday devices.
Remote access
VPNs, remote desktop and anything staff reach from home, checked for weak sign-in and exposure.

Questions, answered
Do you need to come on site?
Some checks, such as Wi-Fi and internal separation, are best done on site. Others can be done remotely. The scope says which, and on-site work outside Harare is quoted with travel.
Will testing take our network down?
No destructive tests are run, and timing can be set outside business hours. Anything that could affect availability is agreed with you first.
What do you need from us to start?
A rough picture of your sites, internet connection, firewall or router, Wi-Fi and how staff connect remotely, plus the person who can authorise testing. Never send passwords by email.
Will you fix the problems too?
The report gives clear fix steps for your IT team or provider. If you want help applying them, that can be quoted separately.
