Netpower IT Solutions AS · Firewall as a service
A firewall you do not have to watch yourself
A Palo Alto firewall watched around the clock by a security operations centre approved by the Norwegian National Security Authority (NSM) – for a fixed monthly price.
Palo Alto firewall · Security centre approved by NSM · Watched around the clock · Replacement unit the same day
Sound familiar?
A firewall is not finished once it is mounted. It has to be configured, kept up to date and watched – including at three in the morning. Very few organisations have their own people to do that job.
A good fit if you …
- Have nobody watching the traffic outside office hours
- Would rather not own a firewall, its licences and maintenance agreements
- Need someone who responds when the alert comes in the middle of the night
What you get
The firewall, the day-to-day running of it and the monitoring belong to one service, at one price.
- A Palo Alto firewall configured by us — we set it up and keep it up to date.
- Eyes on the traffic around the clock — the firewall is connected to our SOC partner, a security centre approved by the Norwegian National Security Authority.
- Someone who acts when the alert arrives — our on-call team is notified immediately, at any hour.
- A replacement unit the same day if the hardware fails — you do not own the equipment, and everything sits inside one monthly price.
How it works
Three parts that hang together: the firewall, the security centre and our on-call team.
We set it up
You get a Palo Alto firewall that we configure, run and keep up to date. Changes along the way are part of the service.
- A setup shaped around your network
- Updates and maintenance included
The security centre watches
The firewall is connected to our SOC partner – a security operations centre approved by the Norwegian National Security Authority – which follows the traffic around the clock.
- Monitoring every hour of the year
- Suspicious traffic picked up by people on duty
We step in
If the security centre picks up something suspicious, our on-call team is notified immediately. We assess the incident and decide whether to act straight away or contact you first.
- An alert reaches the on-call team at any hour
- A replacement unit the same day if the firewall fails
Palo Alto SOC On-call around the clock
Why Netpower IT Solutions?
An alternative to the large providers: small, dedicated teams that work closely with you the whole way.
Watched around the clock
A security centre approved by the Norwegian National Security Authority follows your traffic around the clock, and our on-call team is notified immediately if something looks wrong.
People you can phone
The operations team sits in Norway and knows your network. You get a name, not a case number.

What customers ask first
“Do we need our own security specialists?”
No. The security centre follows the traffic around the clock, and our on-call team takes the incident from there. You need no night shift of your own for the firewall.
“What happens if the firewall breaks?”
We send a replacement unit the same day. You do not own the equipment, so replacing hardware is our responsibility rather than a new investment for you.
“What sits inside the monthly price?”
Equipment, licences, maintenance, updates and monitoring. You need no separate licences or maintenance agreements alongside it.
