SASE and Firewall
Security Services for Business Networks and Hybrid Workforces

Your team isn’t sitting behind the office firewall anymore. They’re at home, in coffee shops, at customer sites, on hotel WiFi. The traditional office perimeter doesn’t protect them, and the VPN they’re supposed to use is slow enough that they avoid it. Meanwhile the firewall at the office hasn’t had its rules reviewed in three years.

Kelley Create handles both halves of modern network security. Managed firewall services for your physical sites (deployment, configuration, 24/7 monitoring, vulnerability patching). SASE for the way your team actually works now, with cloud-delivered security that follows the user wherever they connect. One partner. One security model. One accountable partner.

    The Firewall Was Built for an Office. Your Team Isn’t All in One.

    The firewall was built for an office. The team isn’t all in one anymore. Remote workers VPN through a bottleneck. Branch offices have their own configurations that drifted. The attack surface grew without anyone scoping it. Conditional access is partial. The cyber insurance renewal asked questions the team had to guess at.

    The right partner doesn’t sell you a bigger firewall. We design the SASE architecture for how the team actually distributes, with consistent policy across every user, device, and location. That’s us.

    What Is SASE and Firewall Security?

    Two related but distinct things. A firewall protects a physical location: the office, the warehouse, the data center. Modern next-generation firewalls do more than block ports; they inspect traffic, identify applications, enforce policies, and connect to threat intelligence feeds. SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) protects users wherever they are. Cloud-delivered security that follows the user. The user opens a laptop in a hotel; SASE applies the same security policies as if they were in the office.

    Both matter. Most modern businesses need both. Kelley Create handles design, deployment, and 24/7 monitoring of both layers, designed to work together rather than as separate vendor relationships.

    Common Firewall and Access Security Problems We Solve

    Most SASE and firewall conversations start with one or more of these patterns.

    Firewall configured by ghosts.
    Rules set up by an IT person who left years ago. Nobody has audited the configuration. Firewall rules referring to applications that aren’t installed.

    Ports opened for forgotten reasons.
    VPN that doesn’t scale. Designed when twelve people worked from home occasionally. Now ninety people work remotely every day. The VPN is slow, people avoid it, traffic goes around the security perimeter entirely.

    Out-of-support firewall firmware.
    Three major versions behind. Vendor stopped supporting it last year. Compliance audits ask uncomfortable questions about it.

    Cloud apps the firewall doesn’t see.
    The team uses Microsoft 365, Salesforce, and dozens of SaaS tools that traffic doesn’t even pass through the office firewall. Half your work happens outside your security perimeter.

    Inconsistent security across locations.
    Three offices, three different firewalls, three different policy configurations. New locations come up with whatever the local installer recommended.

    Slow incident response.
    Something flagged in the firewall log Friday afternoon. Nobody looks at it until Monday. Whatever it was has been happening for 60 hours by then.

    How Kelley Create Delivers SASE and Firewall Services

    Four phases. Understand the current security posture, design what fits, deploy and integrate, support and respond.

    1. Assess

    Firewall audit, rule review, firmware status, configuration analysis. SASE readiness assessment for the remote and hybrid workforce. Compliance gap review.

    2. Design

    Firewall replacement or upgrade plan, SASE deployment design, zero trust access policies, integration with identity providers (Entra ID, Okta), and policy consolidation across sites.

    3. Deploy

    Equipment installation, SASE rollout to remote users, policy configuration, integration with existing security tools. Phased to minimize disruption. Documentation as a deliverable.

    4. Monitor and Respond

    24/7 monitoring. Proactive firmware updates. Capacity reviews. Quarterly business reviews. The network stays current instead of quietly aging into the next accumulation problem.

    What’s Included in SASE and Firewall Security Services

    Every SASE and firewall engagement gets scoped to your environment. The components below are standard.

    One partner. One security model. One accountable partner.

    these components are standard

    • Deployment, configuration, 24/7 monitoring, vulnerability patching, firmware management, and quarterly rule reviews for your physical sites.

    Local Security Expertise, National Coverage

    Network security requires both deep expertise and consistent execution across every location where your team works.

    Local. Regional security teams for site visits, firewall deployments, and on-site security work. People who can be in the building when needed.

    National. Multi-location and multi-state operations get coordinated firewall and SASE configuration across every site. Same policies. Same monitoring. Same response procedures.

    Why Partners Choose Kelley Create for SASE and Firewall

    SASE and firewall specialists across the major platforms.

    Sophos, Fortinet, Palo Alto, Exium. The architect designing your security perimeter spends their career on it. Not a generalist who’ll learn your firewall vendor’s documentation as they go. Platform-specific depth, not surface knowledge.

    Both halves under one partner.

    Firewall and SASE designed together as a coherent security model. No more vendor coordination. No more figuring out which tool covers what gap.

    Zero trust that replaces the VPN your team hates.

    Modern access without the VPN slowness that makes people avoid security entirely. Identity-based, application-aware, device-checked.

    Vendor-neutral across the major platforms.

    Sophos, Fortinet, Palo Alto, Cisco, Exium, Netskope, Zscaler. We recommend what fits your environment, not what pays us most.

    Firewall rules that get reviewed.

    Quarterly rule reviews, firmware management, vulnerability patching. The firewall stays current instead of quietly aging into a compliance finding.

    24/7/365 monitoring with real response.

    Not a console nobody watches. Trained analysts watching, escalating, and responding. The Friday afternoon incident doesn’t sit until Monday.

    Documentation as a deliverable.

    Firewall rule documentation, SASE policy documentation, configuration backups, change history. The auditor’s questions get answered.

    Who Business SASE and Firewall Services Are For

    Businesses with hybrid or remote workforces where the traditional office perimeter no longer protects most of the work.

    Organizations with aging firewalls running out-of-support firmware, with rules nobody can explain, and configurations that have drifted over years.

    Multi-location operations needing consistent firewall and SASE policies across every site, with centralized monitoring and management.

    Companies with compliance requirements (HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, CMMC) where firewall configuration and access control are audit-load-bearing.

    Businesses where VPN has become a bottleneck and users avoid security because it’s slow. SASE and zero trust solve this without sacrificing protection.

    Internal IT teams that need a partner for 24/7 monitoring, incident response, and the deep firewall expertise most teams don’t have on staff.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    • What's the difference between SASE and a traditional firewall?

      Traditional firewalls protect physical locations: office, warehouse, data center. SASE is cloud-delivered security that protects users wherever they are: home, coffee shop, customer site. Both matter; most modern businesses need both.
