A specialist consultancy built around practical guidance
shieldlayer Security is a small, founder-led consultancy focused on F5 BIG-IP and web infrastructure security. We help growing teams get expert answers without hiring a full-time specialist or signing a large managed-services contract.
Specialist help shouldn't require an enterprise contract
F5 BIG-IP runs critical applications for organisations of every size. But the expertise to troubleshoot it, tune its WAF policies or plan an upgrade is often concentrated in large providers with large contracts.
Smaller businesses, SaaS teams, agencies and managed IT providers are frequently left choosing between a long, expensive engagement and figuring it out alone under pressure. shieldlayer Security was created to offer a third option: focused, remote, one-to-one guidance for the specific problem in front of you.
Practical, not theoretical
We focus on what will actually resolve your issue or reduce your risk, and explain it in plain language.
Deep rather than broad
We concentrate on F5 LTM, WAF and web application delivery, rather than claiming to do everything.
The principles behind every engagement
A remote consulting model
All of our work is delivered remotely, which lets us help customers in India, the US, the UK, Europe, Australia and beyond. Sessions are scheduled around your time zone and maintenance windows.
You stay in control
Our consultations are guidance-oriented. Your team operates your systems. We don't access your production devices unless that's separately and explicitly agreed in writing.
Transparent communication
We agree the scope, deliverables and price before starting. If something is outside our expertise, or can't be resolved in one session, we'll tell you plainly.
Confidentiality by default
Configurations, logs and captures you share are used only for your engagement, are not shared with third parties, and are deleted when the work is complete unless you ask us to keep them. We're happy to sign a mutual NDA before you share anything sensitive, and we'll always ask you to remove passwords, private keys and customer data first.
F5 LTM and WAF expertise at the centre
BIG-IP is where application availability and application security meet. That's where we spend our time.
- Local Traffic Manager: virtual servers, pools, monitors, SSL/TLS, persistence, iRules and HA configuration
- ASM / Advanced WAF: policy troubleshooting, false positives, event analysis and tuning
- Upgrade planning and post-upgrade verification
- Structured troubleshooting and root cause analysis for application delivery
We don't offer penetration testing, vulnerability scanning, offensive security assessments or round-the-clock managed services. If you need those, we'll say so and suggest you look for a provider who specialises in them.
Growing carefully
We're a young consultancy, and we'd rather grow by doing excellent work for a small number of customers than by over-promising. Every inquiry is read and answered by the person who will do the work.
