Peak, Swirles, and Cavallito Properties Case Study

How Net Friends Helped

Peak, Swirles, and Cavallito Properties was about to start a remote sales meeting when their internet suddenly went down. While their team was troubleshooting, Net Friends received an alert confirming the service loss.

The outage was not a problem with the service provider; the firewall had been compromised preventing access to the internet and network resources. The immediate priority was a rapid incident response, determining the extent of the breach, containing the unauthorized users, and securing the system.

Once the network was functional again, the team investigated how to prevent a recurrence. The vulnerability was quickly traced to the primary access point: an end-of-life firewall.

"We had a plan for replacing the firewall but didn't quite get the length of service we had hoped for. This event accelerated our timeline to update the equipment," said Marketing Manager Stacy Herring.

To move forward, Peak, Swirles, and Cavallito Properties chose NetCore Elements. This solution provides the necessary enterprise-grade leased equipment along with full management and support for their entire infrastructure, ensuring their network is secure and reliable.
