01Firewall exposure

See what every inbound rule is really allowing.

Search enabled Windows Firewall rules, highlight broadly scoped access and bring sensitive management ports to the surface without working through raw policy lists.

  • Searchable rule inventory
  • Exposure guidance for sensitive ports
  • Server-scoped changes with an audit trail

Search, assess and act on the server that needs attention.
02Live Network Audit

Understand each allowed and blocked decision.

Investigate near-real-time inbound and outbound activity by address, port, protocol, process, direction and time. Pause the five-second live view when something needs a closer look.

  • Allowed and blocked connection decisions
  • Application and service context
  • Powerful filters for focused investigation

Live visibility without logging into every Windows Server.
Active defence

Move from watching attacks to responding to them.

WatchTower correlates repeated failed sign-ins and lets you choose how your environment responds.

01

Monitor

Collect evidence and understand the attack pattern without changing access.

02

Recommend

Surface high-confidence source IPs for your team to review and approve.

03

Automatically respond

Block high-confidence public sources while trusted management IPs remain protected.

Geo & IP intelligence

Apply smarter controls without losing trusted access.

Country-based inbound blocking, reputation correlation and tenant allowlists work together to reduce unnecessary exposure. Confirmed hostile addresses can be distributed across protected endpoints, with every action recorded.

04Role-aware hardening

Protect the server for the job it actually performs.

A web server, domain controller and file server should not expose the same services. Preview the policy, back up the current configuration, restrict remote administration and retain a rollback path.

Approval remains with you.Hardening is never applied automatically. An authorised user must explicitly approve deployment in the portal.
