Indicative firewall costs (Dubai, 2026)
What 'setup' must include
- Replace permissive defaults with least-privilege rules
- IPS / UTM features actually enabled and tuned
- Remote access via VPN with MFA - not naked RDP
- Logging that someone will read
- Firmware update process for critical CVEs within days, not months
Vendor choice is secondary to operation. FortiGate and Sophos both work for Dubai SMEs; pfSense suits teams with in-house IT who accept more DIY. We recommend after assessment, not by margin.
Managed vs one-off install
A one-off install ages badly: firmware drifts, rules accumulate, VPN users never leave. Managed service closes that gap - patches, log review, VPN hygiene, and a monthly summary your owner can understand.
