An unsecured network is a business risk, not a technical one
Once an attacker is inside — through a phishing email, a weak password, an unpatched router — they can move between your systems, reach your files, and frequently stay hidden for months.
Network & endpoint security · Brooklyn, NYC
Lock Your Network Like You Lock Your Office.
Arkadian secures the infrastructure your business runs on — from the routers in your office to the laptops your people work from at home.
Not by selling you a product. By finding out what you already have, what it is actually doing, and what it is leaving open.
Most Business Networks Were Built for Convenience, Not Security
When your business set up its network, the priority was getting everyone connected quickly. Security came second, if it came at all. That is true of most small and mid-size businesses, and it is exactly what attackers count on.
Remote work grew the perimeter and nobody redrew the map
Every home router, public hotspot and personal device that connects to your business is a way in. Most businesses added the connections and never revisited the controls.
Does Any of This Sound Familiar?
You're not sure what's connected to your network
Printers, old laptops, personal phones — unmanaged devices are a common entry point for attackers, and most inventories are out of date within a month of being written.
Employees work remotely but security hasn't kept up
Remote work without proper VPN and access controls leaves the business exposed every time somebody connects from a kitchen table or a coffee shop.
Your router or firewall was never properly configured
Outdated equipment has known vulnerabilities that attackers scan for automatically. But newer equipment is a blind spot too — plenty of businesses own hardware capable of full monitoring that was simply never switched on.
You don't have a clear picture of who can access what
Without segmentation, a compromise in one part of the network reaches everything else. The finance share and the reception PC should not be on speaking terms.
The work
How Arkadian Secures Your Network
In this order, and rarely all at once. Most engagements start with the first step and stop when the risk is proportionate to the business.
- 01
Network audit — we start by understanding what you have
Before anything can be secured, it has to be mapped: every device, every connection, every exposure. Most businesses are surprised by what turns up, and a few are surprised by what is missing.
- 02
Firewall management — properly configured, not merely present
A firewall that is configured badly provides the feeling of protection without the fact of it. We deploy and manage next-generation firewalls, sized and configured for your environment rather than for a brochure.
- 03
Network segmentation — containing damage before it spreads
The network is divided into zones so that a compromise in one cannot reach the rest. Financial data and client records are isolated from the parts of the network people click things on.
- 04
Remote access security — beyond the office walls
Secure VPN and access controls so that remote staff connect safely, without extending your network to every home router and public hotspot they happen to use.
- 05
Continuous monitoring — problems caught before they become incidents
Automated monitoring of network traffic around the clock, with alerting on the conditions that actually matter. When something significant fires, a person looks at it.
Why NYC Businesses Choose Arkadian for Network Security
Enterprise-grade firewalls, right-sized for your business
We deploy and manage next-generation firewalls from established enterprise vendors, configured for your environment and your budget rather than for the largest deployment the vendor has ever sold.
25 years of network experience across every kind of environment
Corporate networks, government advisory work and small businesses running on whatever was affordable at the time. The last category is where most of the interesting problems live.
We fix it and explain it — no jargon, no mystery
You get a plain-language account of what we found, what we changed and why. You will always understand what is protecting your business and how, which matters on the day somebody else has to touch it.
Brooklyn-based, on-site when needed
Network work sometimes means hands on the hardware. We are in Greenpoint and can be on-site across NYC when remote support is not enough.
What We Won't Promise You
Security vendors sell certainty because it closes deals. Here is what is actually on offer.
That any configuration makes you unbreachable
Segmentation, patching and monitoring change the odds and limit the blast radius. They do not remove the possibility, and anyone telling you otherwise is selling hardware.
That monitoring means somebody is watching your screen all night
Monitoring is automated and alerts on defined conditions. A person responds when something meaningful fires. That is what continuous monitoring means.
That you need everything on this page
Most businesses do not. The audit exists to work out which parts are proportionate to what you actually run, and it frequently ends with a shorter list than expected.
That new equipment is the answer
Often the hardware you already own can do what is needed and was never configured to. Where that is the case we will say so, even though it is the cheaper outcome for you.
Not Sure How Secure Your Network Is? Let's Find Out.
Start with a call. Tell us roughly how many people you have, how they work, and what you are already running. That is usually enough to say where the real exposure is and whether it is worth doing anything about it yet.
Please don't send network diagrams, credentials or configuration files by email. Those come later, over a channel we agree on.
What to expect
First call Free, around 15 minutes, no obligation
Then A scoped audit with a fixed price, agreed before anything starts
You receive A map of what is connected, what is exposed, and what to do about it — in priority order
No obligation The audit stands on its own. You are free to have someone else act on it
