MANAGED FIREWALL-AS-A-SERVICE
Business-grade firewall protection for one predictable monthly price
Brown Dog I.T. provides, configures, and maintains a FortiGate 60F so your business gets dependable network protection without a large upfront equipment purchase or a surprise renewal bill.
FortiGate 60F Managed Firewall
$229 per month
Per business location with a 36-month service agreement.
Standard installation starts at $599.
Full Brown Dog I.T. managed-IT customers may qualify for preferred pricing starting at $199 per month.
What is included
- FortiGate 60F appliance provided during the service term
- FortiGuard Unified Threat Protection and FortiCare support
- Secure baseline configuration and business VPN support
- Scheduled firmware and security updates
- Configuration backups and firewall health reviews
- Two routine configuration changes each month
- Quarterly configuration and security review

We first review your users, internet connection, applications, and traffic needs to confirm that the FortiGate 60F is the right fit for your location.
Straightforward service with clear expectations
Brown Dog I.T. retains ownership of the firewall during the service term, and the appliance must be returned when service ends. Early cancellation may require payment of remaining equipment and nonrefundable licensing costs.
Switches, wireless access points, cabling, internet circuits, major network redesigns, high-availability pairs, after-hours emergency work, and 24/7 human SOC services are quoted separately. Firewall service helps reduce risk but cannot guarantee compliance, uninterrupted internet access, or prevention of every security incident.
