Hear From Our Customers Our Case Studies Mitigating phishing attacks for an architecture practice 24/7 Threat Visibility Gives Non-Profit Housing Provider Peace of Mind Strengthening Security & Data for Leading UK Manufacturer FAQs Why does my business need a managed switch instead of a basic one? Managed switches provide higher performance, VLAN capabilities, security controls and monitoring features that unmanaged switches lack, enabling stable, secure networks that scale. How do you detect switch failures before they cause an outage? Our monitoring platform raises instant alerts for device failures, power issues, high usage or ports going down, letting us act immediately. Can you segment our network so Guest Wi-Fi remains separate from business data? Yes. We can separate traffic using VLANs and SSIDs, and even route guest networks through separate firewalls if required. Who is responsible for installing security patches and firmware updates? We manage CVE patching (9.0+) for customers on our full Beyond service, and can assist with firmware updates where supported. Do you support the devices connected to the switch, like VoIP phones and Camera We support devices we supply, such as our own telephony systems. For third‑party hardware (e.g., CCTV, printers), we can work with your providers to resolve issues. What happens if a piece of network hardware actually breaks?

Hear From Our Customers Our Case Studies Mitigating phishing attacks for an architecture practice 24/7 Threat Visibility Gives Non-Profit Housing Provider Peace of Mind Strengthening Security & Data for Leading UK Manufacturer FAQs What are the core components of a complete IT infrastructure? A complete IT infrastructure typically includes compute (servers or VMs), storage, networking, operating systems, virtualisation platforms, security controls and monitoring tools, all working together to support applications and users. Should we keep our infrastructure on-premises or move to a cloud model? This depends on workload requirements, compliance, performance needs and cost considerations. Many organisations benefit from a hybrid model that combines on‑prem and cloud infrastructure. What is the difference between physical servers and virtual machines (VMs)? Physical servers are dedicated hardware systems. Virtual machines run on shared physical hardware using virtualisation software, allowing better resource utilisation, flexibility and resilience. How is cybersecurity integrated into the infrastructure layers? Security is built into infrastructure through secure configuration, access controls, segmentation, patching, monitoring and integration with wider security services. What is Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and why should we use it? Infrastructure as Code uses software definitions to deploy and manage infrastructure consistently. It helps reduce configuration drift, improve repeatability and support scalable environments. How do I decide between NAS (Network Attached Storage) and SAN (Storage Area Network)? NAS is typically suited to file storage and shared access, while SAN is designed for high‑performance workloads and virtualised environments. The right choice depends on performance, resilience and scalability requirements.

A Managed Firewall gives you continuous monitoring, proactive threat response, and expert support without needing in‑house security expertise. We handle configuration, updates, critical vulnerability remediation and performance checks, acting immediately if something goes wrong. Self‑managed gives you full control but places deployment, testing, patching and troubleshooting on your team. How does a managed firewall service help with compliance standards like PCI-DSS? Our service supports compliance by ensuring your firewall is monitored, patched and configured to industry best practice. We mitigate high‑severity vulnerabilities, maintain secure access controls, and provide audit‑ready documentation that meets components of PCI‑DSS and other regulatory frameworks. What exactly is included in the service? The service includes continuous monitoring, immediate threat response, critical vulnerability remediation (CVE 9.0+), advice on licensing and bandwidth, small configuration changes, and onboarding support. Why is a Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) better than a traditional firewall? NGFWs offer deeper protection, combining intrusion prevention, application control, threat intelligence, geo‑blocking and improved visibility. Traditional firewalls rely mainly on basic port and protocol filtering, while NGFWs analyse traffic behaviour, detect advanced attacks and provide granular control, making them more effective for cyber threats. What happens if my firewall goes down or a threat is detected? We act immediately to contain the issue, restore service where possible, and mitigate any threat before contacting you with the details. Because the firewall is a critical part of your environment, our first priority is fast remediation, followed by clear guidance on next steps. How do I transition to a managed service without disrupting my network? We plan disruptive tasks out of hours, and keep initial changes light (enabling monitoring, securing admin access, taking backups) before scheduling any deeper policy or firmware updates.

Hear From Our Customers Our Case Studies Mitigating phishing attacks for an architecture practice 24/7 Threat Visibility Gives Non-Profit Housing Provider Peace of Mind Strengthening Security & Data for Leading UK Manufacturer FAQs Why should we invest in enterprise-grade equipment instead of cheaper consumer brands? Enterprise networking hardware is designed for reliability, security and long‑term support. Consumer equipment often lacks advanced features, resilience and proper lifecycle management, making it less suitable for business‑critical environments. Do you partner with specific manufacturers like Cisco, Juniper, or Ubiquiti? Trustack works with a range of enterprise network equipment manufacturers. Hardware selection is based on your requirements, environment and support needs rather than a one‑size‑fits‑all approach. Can you handle the procurement and logistics for our remote offices? Yes. Trustack can manage procurement and coordinate delivery of networking hardware across multiple sites, including remote and satellite offices. How do you determine the right hardware specifications for our specific needs? We assess your current network usage, performance requirements, security considerations and future growth plans to recommend appropriately sized enterprise networking hardware.

Endpoint Support

Homepage / Page Endpoint Protection Services Endpoint Protection Services for SMBs Across Newcastle and the North East. Free IT consultation Trustack provides comprehensive endpoint protection services to keep your users, devices and data secure wherever they work. As endpoints continue to be a primary target for cyber‑attacks, businesses need more than a basic antivirus. Our endpoint protection and endpoint support services combine prevention, visibility and hands‑on support to reduce risk and keep users productive. Our Valued Customers Fully Managed Service We handle everything from day‑to‑day support to patching, threat response and device management. Proactively Security Hardened Your devices benefit from automated patching, risk analysis, ransomware protection, and continuous improvements. Continuously Monitored 24/7 monitoring, alerting and remediation mean issues are addressed quickly, often before users even notice. Next Gen Antivirus We utilise next generation antivirus and advanced threat defence technology to give you stronger protection against cyber threats. Endpoint support to keep your company productive Endpoint Support is covered as part of our IT Support Packages and ensures the devices your teams rely on run smoothly and securely. This covers everything a traditional on premise support team would provide such as printing issues, PC queries, antivirus troubles and more.   Trustack’s endpoint protection services use next‑generation technology to detect suspicious behaviour, block threats early and reduce the risk of ransomware and malware spreading across your environment.  We also bring a range of proactive monitoring and patch visibility to our endpoint support package, including managed detect and response with 24 7 continuous monitoring on all endpoint devices, no matter the location.  How our Endpoint Support service works Deployment Tools are installed centrally, minimising disruption for users. A restart may be required but this is planned and communicated clearly. Protect & Monitor Endpoints Once deployed, endpoints are continuously monitored for threats, vulnerabilities and unusual behaviour. The platform identifies ransomware‑style activity. Continuous Support Users have direct access to Trustack’s support team via the endpoint agent, email or phone. This ensures issues are resolved quickly. Why Choose Trustack? Customer First We put our customers first always. We’re proactive, responsive, and focused on delivering a smooth experience at every step. Excellence Through Teamwork Our collaborative team works seamlessly to provide expert endpoint support and consistent, high-quality service. Trusted Innovation & Integrity We rigorously test every endpoint solution to ensure it’s right for your business, always with integrity and your goals in mind. Hear From Our Customers Our Case Studies Mitigating phishing attacks for an architecture practice 24/7 Threat Visibility Gives Non-Profit Housing Provider Peace of Mind Strengthening Security & Data for Leading UK Manufacturer FAQs Why isn’t our traditional antivirus enough to protect the business anymore? Traditional antivirus relies on known signatures, which struggle to detect modern threats such as ransomware, fileless malware and zero‑day attacks. Endpoint protection services use behavioural and threat‑based detection to identify suspicious activity much earlier. How does this service protect employees working from home? Endpoint protection runs directly on the device, meaning users are protected whether they’re on the office network, at home or travelling. Threat detection, monitoring and support remain active regardless of location. What is the difference between Endpoint Protection and Managed Detection & Response (MDR)? Endpoint protection focuses on preventing and blocking threats at the device level. MDR goes further by providing 24/7 threat monitoring, investigation and response across endpoints, identities and networks. Many organisations use endpoint protection as a foundation and add MDR for advanced threat response. If a computer gets infected with ransomware, can you recover the data? a { text-decoration: none; color: #464feb; } tr th, tr td { border: 1px solid #e6e6e6; } tr th { background-color: #f5f5f5; } In many cases, yes, subject to the protections in place. Our endpoint protection includes ransomware rollback capabilities, which can restore files if encryption is detected early. However, no single control is guaranteed. That’s why we recommend combining endpoint protection with immutable backups (such as Veeam) or Microsoft 365 backup for full resilience. Does this solution help us meet compliance standards like GDPR or Cyber Essentials? Yes. Endpoint protection supports compliance by reducing malware risk, enforcing device security controls, and helping prevent data loss. When combined with patching, access controls and backup, it supports requirements within GDPR and Cyber Essentials. How do we deploy this to all our staff without disrupting their work? Most components can be deployed remotely and silently. In some cases, users may need to restart their device to complete installation or patching. We plan deployments carefully, communicate clearly with users, and ensure support is available throughout the rollout.

Hear From Our Customers Our Case Studies Mitigating phishing attacks for an architecture practice 24/7 Threat Visibility Gives Non-Profit Housing Provider Peace of Mind Strengthening Security & Data for Leading UK Manufacturer FAQs Is a virtual desktop really as secure as a physical office computer? Yes. Often they’re more secure as virtual desktops store data centrally rather than on individual devices, reducing the risk of loss, theft or tampering.  How difficult is it to deploy virtual desktops for a new remote team? With the right setup, deploying virtual desktops is straightforward. Instead of provisioning and shipping physical devices, new users can access a fully configured desktop as soon as they’re onboarded. Is DaaS suitable for small businesses, or is it just for enterprises? DaaS is a strong option for businesses of any size. Small and medium organisations often benefit the most, as it removes the upfront cost of hardware and simplifies IT management. What are the common challenges or downsides I should be aware of? VDI can face challenges like performance issues if sized incorrectly, higher infrastructure demands, and some legacy apps needing careful configuration. It also relies on strong networking and centralised security to run smoothly. However, at Trustack we design, size and optimise everything up‑front, working with your application vendors, strengthening the underlying network, maintaining the platform, and providing proofs of concept to confirm viability, so these challenges are minimised and your environment performs as it should.
