Managed IT and cyber security for regulated firms in Dubai & Abu Dhabi
Managed IT and cyber security for regulated firms in Dubai & Abu Dhabi
Cre8 IT (Create IT) is a Fortinet partner in Dubai. We supply FortiGate firewalls and FortiGuard licences, design and install them, and manage them day to day, with FortiAnalyzer and FortiManager for logging, reporting and central management.
FortiGate is Fortinet’s next-generation firewall. It sits between your network and the internet, inspects traffic and blocks threats, and combines the firewall, secure VPN for remote staff, SD-WAN across more than one internet line and network segmentation in one device.
FortiGuard security subscriptions add intrusion prevention, antivirus, web filtering and application control, kept up to date by Fortinet’s threat research team. FortiAnalyzer collects and keeps your firewall logs and turns them into reports, and FortiManager manages policies and firmware across several FortiGates from one console.
Buy FortiGate through us and we look after the rest, or bring us in to review and manage a Fortinet set-up you already have.
FortiGate hardware sized for your users and internet speed, with FortiGuard and FortiCare subscriptions and renewals managed for you.
Firewall policies, VPN, SD-WAN and network segments designed around how your office works and what your clients and regulators expect.
We install and configure the FortiGate, move the rules across from your old firewall and test everything before go-live.
Central logging, reports and log retention with FortiAnalyzer, and one console for policies and firmware with FortiManager.
We monitor your FortiGate, apply firmware updates, review alerts and make rule changes, on their own or as part of our IT annual maintenance contracts.
A review of an existing Fortinet set-up, covering firmware, licences, rules, VPN and logging, with a prioritised list of fixes.
Firms regulated in the DIFC and ADGM are expected to manage cyber risk with documented controls and records that show they work, and the firewall is one of the first things an auditor looks at. With FortiGate and FortiAnalyzer we keep rules documented and reviewed, logs retained and changes recorded, so you can answer those questions quickly.
See how we support DIFC firms and ADGM firms, or read our IT audit readiness checklist.
We look at your current firewall, internet lines, remote access and rules.
We size the FortiGate and plan policies, VPN, SD-WAN and logging.
We install and test it, usually out of hours, and move your rules across.
We monitor, update and review it, with regular rule and licence checks.
We have supported businesses since 2012 from our office in Jumeirah Lake Towers, with engineers in the UAE, KSA and the UK.
Because we also look after devices, Microsoft 365 and cyber security for our clients, your firewall becomes part of one managed set-up, with one team to call.
FortiGate is Fortinet’s next-generation firewall. It protects your network from internet threats and combines firewall, VPN, SD-WAN and security inspection such as intrusion prevention and web filtering in one device.
It depends on the number of users, your internet speed and the security services you switch on. Popular office models include the FortiGate 40F, 60F and 100F, alongside Fortinet’s newer G-series. We size it on throughput with security inspection turned on, not the headline firewall figure.
FortiGuard subscriptions are the security services that run on a FortiGate, such as intrusion prevention, antivirus, web filtering and application control. They are bought for one or more years, and we track renewals so protection does not lapse.
