Cybersecurity Solutions
Do you want to Improve Security and Reduce Risk?

We believe Security isn’t an add-on; it needs to permeate all design aspects of our services.
Businesses of all types and sizes are increasingly aware of the risks of data breaches, ransomware, and operational disruption which cyber threats represent. Blaze has therefore developed one of the most comprehensive approaches to cybersecurity, which is incorporated in all the solutions we provide.
Secure by Design
Security is of unquestionable importance for businesses today and is at the heart of how Blaze provide network and connectivity solutions to our customers.
Blaze use multiple layers of security throughout every network we build for customers (both at the equipment and software level), so that threats are blocked not only at network entry points but at multiple points within each network.
The private SD-WANs which we build for our customers are designed to avoid the public internet, except at the point where the Blaze Private Core Network connects via highly secure and tightly monitored gateways. By providing connectivity that does not touch the internet, the attack surface of our customers’ private networks is immediately minimised.

This approach includes connectivity to most SaaS and PaaS providers: where a business’ applications are hosted externally, Blaze is able to provide direct links from the Blaze Core Network to all the major cloud providers, including Azure, AWS and IBM, and to major SaaS providers such as Salesforce.com and Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365). Highly secure Edge firewalls provide added security at these junctures. Additionally, Blaze Cloud™ is our own cloud hosting service which is an extension off the Blaze Core Network itself (with all customer data and systems being held within the UK and with full security).
Finally, our own Network Operations Centre and the Blaze Service Desk (both of whom are key to the secure running of customers’ networks, which they control and manage) are protected by military-grade cybersecurity through our own Management Zone (MZ) security measures.
Secure Control of all Network Elements
As a Managed Services Provider (MSP), Blaze can either fully manage or co-manage your Blaze Private SD-WAN on your behalf. The Blaze Private SD-WAN infrastructure offers a single pane of glass solution to your network environment. Use of Blaze Private SD-WANs is not limited to conventional corporate networks. Secure connectivity across operational systems can also be supported, providing next generation firewall and endpoint protection to (and from) IoT devices and systems such as CCTV, access controls, fire control, and building management systems.
While having centralised control of each customer’s SD-WAN is useful and powerful, mitigating human factor security vulnerabilities is also important. We therefore use Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) so each Blaze and customer engineer only has access to their required environment or areas within the SD-WAN stack. Additionally, each change is required to be authorized by a high-level Blaze engineer before it is implemented.
Compliancy
Blaze Private SD-WAN and our other Connectivity products leverage the Blaze Private Core Network and its inherent secure design.
Further assurance of the level of Blaze’s own cybersecurity protection is provided by our being Cyber Essentials Plus certified. As such, not only do Blaze have cyber-secure systems and procedures in place, but we also have had this independently verified through on-site audits by external professional auditors.
ISO 27001 Certification
Providing further confirmation of Blaze Networks’ commitment to cybersecurity, Blaze have achieved formal certification (by BSI) of meeting the ISO 27001:2022 Standard for Information Security Management Systems.
Achieving this certification provides additional assurance to Blaze customers on our cybersecurity practices, and has been useful in formalising many of the processes and procedures that we have been following on a business-as-usual basis for years.
The ISO 27001 certification follows extensive auditing by BSI, which is widely regarded as operating the most rigorous certification scheme in the UK.

NHS DSPT Certification
Blaze Networks has achieved the NHS Data Security and Protection Toolkit (DSPT) certification, and been awarded an Exceeds rating. This certification demonstrates our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of data security and protection for our customers who are in the healthcare industry and all who use our services.
Of particular relevance to organisations within (or affiliated with) the UK’s National Health Service (NHS), including NHS suppliers and related health services, achieving DSPT certification means that Blaze Networks has met stringent requirements set out by NHS Digital, ensuring the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of all sensitive data we handle.
Blaze Networks’ has been certified as Exceeding NHS Digital’s DSTP, and Blaze’s DSTP certificate is published at https://www.dsptoolkit.nhs.uk/OrganisationSearch/U3E6B
Partnership with Industry Leaders
Blaze has developed key partnerships with leading companies in order to deliver a comprehensive suite of security solutions.
For example, by partnering with industry leader Fortinet we are able to employ a secure network fabric which delivers intelligent, seamless protection across the expanding attack surface with the power to take on ever-increasing performance requirements of the borderless network.
We deploy world-leading endpoint protection on devices through a key partnership with Bitdefender. In so doing, we employ the largest and most sophisticated cybersecurity intelligence hub which uses live information from hundreds of millions of endpoints to ensure that even fileless and zero-day attacks can be mitigated in real time as they emerge elsewhere in the world.
Comprehensive Range of Cybersecurity Solutions from Blaze

Secure Remote Access
For many businesses working from home has become normal. For mobile workers and “informal” homeworkers (with occasional or lower-risk access profiles, for example) whose location obliges them to connect to company systems via the Internet, Blaze provides sophisticated endpoint protection products, end user device management, a fully-managed Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) service, SSL VPN, network access control and 2 Factor Authentication solutions.
Additionally, many companies also need to provide access to corporate systems to certain non-employees (such as consultants, auditors, or contractors). Blaze can manage and control the connectivity permissions of such third parties to networked resources through the management of access permissions.
For more permanent Home Office solutions, and for people dealing with more sensitive company information and critical systems (such as senior, finance, HR, or systems managers), Blaze can supply Broadband connectivity, WiFi, and Firewalls which can all be managed by Blaze through our network management and cyber-security systems.
Secure Networks and WiFi are not Mutually Exclusive
Techniques such as WiFi segmentation (combined with security software) minimise the opportunity for hacking into corporate systems through WiFi “guest” networks and the like, as well as isolating networks used for different purposes and varying risk profiles. WiFi segmentation is a particularly valuable technique where broadband connections have been provided for Home Offices, as family use and contention for resources can be managed and limited.
Vulnerability Scanning
Scarce resources, limited time, a constantly changing attack surface – it’s difficult for IT and security professionals to keep pace with attackers. Our Cyber Vulnerability Scan service is a fast, easy way to proactively find and fix vulnerabilities right across your business.
Blaze has selected industry leading Nessus® Vulnerability Scanning as our chosen tool to perform this service. Nessus automates point-in-time assessments to help quickly identify and fix vulnerabilities, including software flaws, missing patches, malware, and misconfigurations, across a variety of operating systems, devices and applications. It has the deepest and broadest coverage with more than 130,000 plugins, coverage for more than 50,000 CVE and over 100 new plugins released weekly within 24 hours of vulnerability disclosure. Nessus also has the industry’s lowest false positive rate with six-sigma accuracy (measured at .32 defects per 1 million scans).
For businesses wishing to gain a full assessment of their how well potential vulnerabilities have been mitigated and of their businesses ability to defended against external cyberattack, Blaze offers an External Vulnerability Scan service, again leveraging Nessus technology.
Firewalls and Unified Threat Management (UTM)
UTM is a broad-based network security platform that represents the next stage of evolution for traditional firewalls. A variety of hardware and software elements protect networks, including firewalls, IPS, application control, content filtering, anti-virus and anti-spam software, and more. UTM delivers all these forms of protection on a single, integrated platform.
Blaze has partnered with industry leader Fortinet to deploy the latest Next-Gen Firewalls and UTM. With the Fortinet-based solutions, UTM management is fully integrated and delivered through a single pane of glass.
Blaze Screen™ Email
Blaze Screen™ is an email filtering solution, delivered by Blaze as a managed service. It protects against malware and phishing attempts and reduces the size of a customer’s surface for cyberattacks. Blaze Screen™ also helps reduce and manage the volume of spam emails coming into a company’s inboxes. Email is the largest single vector for cyberattack, and preventing all but valid, clean messages reaching end users’ inboxes is a wise defence tactic. Blaze deliver Blaze Screen™ as a managed service using sophisticated Secure Email Gateway technology from one of our industry-leading partners, Fortinet.
Advanced Sandbox Analysis
To deal with highly targeted and frequently changing attacks, Blaze Screen™ uses sandbox analysis techniques in which advanced behaviour-based technologies detonate all attachments in an isolated environment on a virtual machine, where it is checked to see whether any malicious activity occurs.
Click Protection
Often a malware email campaign will include a link which contains no malicious content initially and as a result passes through mail filtering to the user’s mailbox. Attackers then activate malicious content on the website a short period after sending the email so that when the user opens the link in the email it contains the malicious content. Blaze Screen™ redirects all links a user clicks in an email to go through BlazeScreen™ where it is categorised and checked for malicious content at the time the user clicks on it offering continuous protection.
Blaze Password Manager
Blaze Password Manager gives IT staff a practical way to enforce secure password policy that is convenient for employees, works with mobiles, and helps with cybersecurity insurance premiums.
To overcome the challenge of ensuring compliance with secure password policy across an organisation, Blaze has partnered with Nord Security, one of the world’s most trusted cybersecurity brands and creators of NordVPN. Blaze Password Manager is an intuitive and easy-to-use password manager for businesses and individuals that is based on Nord Security’s NordPass technology.
Blaze Endpoint Protection
Offered as a fully managed or co-managed cloud-based service, Blaze Endpoint Protection is based on Bitdefender technology. Going well beyond the capabilities of legacy anti-virus products, it hardens endpoints to prevent malware and malicious attacks, and provides the investigation and remediation capabilities needed to dynamically respond to security incidents when they evade protection controls.
An optional advanced security layer provides protection against fileless attacks, script-based attacks, custom malware, targeted attacks, potentially unwanted applications, and advanced ransomware while delivering threat context and visibility. Sandbox analyser capabilities are available which analyses suspicious files in depth, detonates payloads in a contained virtual environment, analyses their behaviour and reports malicious intent.
Blaze Managed Endpoint Detection and Response
Blaze Managed Endpoint Detection and Response (Blaze Managed EDR) takes users of Blaze Endpoint Protection to a new level of comprehensive cybersecurity for their network. Blaze Managed EDR builds on Blaze Endpoint Protection Advanced (which is a pre-requisite) and adds extra levels of capabilities.

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks have become more prevalent in recent years, particularly in relation to criminal demands for payment to cease an attack. Blaze DDoS Protection service helps mitigate the risk, enabling business to continue uninterrupted.
Patch Management
While seemingly mundane, the timely application of security and general patches released by all software vendors is one of the best cyber-defence practices a business can adopt. To relieve IT staff of the hassle of installing patches across the many devices which a business and its employees will use, Blaze offers our Patch Management service which can manage these and maintain the software on each one so they software is kept up-to-date and at a known state.
