We have been upgrading our network hardware and security since last Friday. We will be making some changes regarding your network access, so please take action step by step. We will be updating our firewall rules and improving security step by step.
Our network is secured for any external or internal intrusions now.
One of these notable changes is we have isolated our network with VLANs and firewalls, so each entity working in our coworking space will have its own isolated secure line and gateway. By implementing VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) configurations, we enhance the security and efficiency of our network. VLANs allow us to separate traffic for different tenants or departments, ensuring that sensitive information remains compartmentalized and secure. This isolation acts as an additional layer of defense, further protecting our clients from potential cyber threats that could arise from shared network environments.
Furthermore, our advanced firewall systems monitor and manage traffic between these VLANs, swiftly detecting and neutralizing threats without sacrificing network performance. This proactive approach to security ensures that our clients can focus on their work without worrying about vulnerabilities or potential breaches.
In addition to VLANs and firewalls, we also prioritize application security, offering seamless access to a variety of applications across all devices with a zero-trust model. This approach guarantees that only authorized personnel can access sensitive information, reinforcing our commitment to keeping your business secure.
For businesses operating in today’s digital landscape, the implications of cybersecurity incidents can be severe. Statistics indicate that a significant percentage of Canadian companies have faced such threats, highlighting the need for robust IT security measures. At West Quay Offices, we not only understand these risks but actively work to mitigate them, reinforcing our dedication to providing a secure working environment.
Our comprehensive IT security measures, including VPNs and endpoint security systems, are designed to enable secure remote access, ensuring that your devices and data remain fully protected even outside the office environment. The combination of VLAN isolation, advanced firewalls, and layered security strategies creates a resilient framework that supports the safety and operational efficacy of our clients.

If you own a Private Office with us, all private offices have a high-speed Ethernet line option, and now they both have their own VLAN and gateway.
There are many advantages to using direct Ethernet lines over wi-fi connections.
Speed: You can reach speeds that are not available through wi-fi wireless connections. We are talking about 3 to 4 times faster connections.
Security: All private office Ethernet ports are segmented and isolated from other rooms and parts by VLAN and strict firewall rules.
Reliability: Ethernet ports offer a more reliable and consistent connection to the internet.
We suggest you connect your PC’s and laptops to Ethernet ports directly with a cable to take advantage of all
