Case Study: Network Security Upgrade for a Hong Kong Trading Firm

Challenge: A Kowloon-based trading firm with 40 staff relied on an aging firewall and had no endpoint detection. Phishing attempts were increasing and the IT manager spent hours weekly on manual security checks.

Solution: Foreman Company Limited deployed a next-generation firewall with VPN access control, CrowdStrike EDR on all workstations, automated offsite backups with monthly restore tests, and employee security awareness training.

Result: Security incidents dropped to zero critical events in six months. Mean time to respond improved from hours to under 30 minutes. The client passed an external audit with no major findings related to IT security.

Foreman continues to manage the environment under an SLA-backed managed services agreement, with monthly reporting on firewall logs, backup status, and patch compliance.
