The client — a small business in the Florida Keys — was running on a collection of consumer-grade routers, an unmanaged switch, and no security configuration whatsoever. Staff devices, customer WiFi, and point-of-sale systems were all on the same network. Connectivity dropped frequently during peak hours.
The busy tourist season was approaching, and they couldn't afford the kind of downtime and security exposure they'd been dealing with.

Separated staff, POS, guest WiFi, and IoT devices onto isolated VLANs — so a compromised guest device can never touch the business network.
Replaced the consumer router with a pfSense firewall appliance — stateful packet inspection, IDS/IPS, and granular traffic rules.
Deployed enterprise-grade access points with band steering, roaming, and capacity management to handle peak tourist traffic without drops.
Set up a WireGuard VPN so the owner can securely access internal systems remotely — no exposed ports, no weak credentials.
Installed and configured endpoint security on all staff devices, with centralized policy management and alerting.
