steve in studio

I've spent more than two decades designing, installing, hardening and supporting network security infrastructure — from single-office SMBs to multi-site enterprise estates. Independent and vendor-neutral, I recommend what genuinely fits your business.

Infrastructure hardening is my craft: the unglamorous, high-stakes work that decides whether an attacker gets in and how far they can move once they do. Whether it's physical sites, data centres or cloud environments, the principles of least-privilege access and ingress/egress filtering remain the same.
