Hosted Security

Hosted Security

Flexible, Resilient and Scalable Wide Area Networks and Hosted Security Services for the Connected World

Enterprise-Grade Security, Delivered from Our Datacentres

With MyCloud Hosted Security, you get the protection of a high-availability FortiGate firewall cluster—delivered as a service from our secure, UK-based datacentre. There's no hardware to purchase or maintain on-site, and the setup is fast and cost-effective. Your firewall environment runs in a resilient, professionally managed infrastructure with built-in redundancy and uptime safeguards. This means you benefit from enterprise-class security and reliability without the overhead of managing physical appliances.

Secure Your Sites, Securely and Simply

With MyCloud Hosted Security, building a secure WAN across multiple sites is straightforward and scalable. Each location connects directly into our central FortiGate cluster, eliminating the need to deploy and manage separate firewalls at every site. This centralisation makes it easy to enforce a consistent security policy across your entire network—reducing complexity, eliminating configuration drift, and cutting down on costly mistakes.

Remote users benefit too: with a single VPN connection, they gain secure access to multiple networks across your organisation, no matter where the resources are located. Whether it’s branch offices, datacentres, or cloud environments, everything is protected behind one unified perimeter.

By simplifying both policy deployment and access, you get a more secure, more manageable network—with fewer gaps and greater peace of mind.

Expert Administration, 24x7

With MyCloud Hosted Security, you're not just getting a firewall—you’re getting a fully managed security service backed by over 15 years of Fortinet expertise. Cerberus handles everything behind the scenes: provisioning, firmware updates, performance monitoring, security patching, and day-to-day administration. You don’t need to worry about keeping hardware up to date or managing firmware schedules—we do it all for you.

And if you ever need assistance, our expert support team is available 24/7, ready to help with configuration changes, policy updates, troubleshooting, or advice. Whether you're growing your network, responding to a threat, or just need a change implemented quickly, Cerberus is always on hand—so you can stay focused on running your business.

The Fortinet Advantage

As a long-standing Fortinet partner, Cerberus Hosted Security uses the FortiGate Next Generation Firewall platform to provide industry-leading threat protection and decryption at scale with a custom ASIC architecture. Consistently ranked in the Gartner Magic Quandrant Reports as leading the market with both technology and execution, Fortinet sets the bar for features and reliability. Hosted Fortinet security solutions from Cerberus are backed with 24x7 support and provide an end-to-end network security solution - from design to implementation to support and maintenance.

Flexible and Secure Wide Area Networks

Cerberus Networks leads the way with cost-effective private, managed wide area networks that allow businesses to re-think how they work.

Our ‘ground up’ approach eliminates many of the barriers of location that can prevent a more flexible and rational approach to situating and managing essential business services.

Why Hosted Security?

A hosted security model shifts critical security functions; such as firewalling, intrusion detection, content filtering, and application control; into the network core. This approach enables seamless scalability, consistent protection across locations, and simplified policy enforcement, all while removing the operational burden of maintaining physical hardware at every site.
