Start with a first look

Tell us what is slow, fragile or worrying you. You get a short, AI-drafted list of the things we would check first. It is a starting point, not an audit.

What we do

Three practices, one team. Most clients start with the first and call on the other two when a project needs them.

Infrastructure & Cybersecurity

We run servers, networks and endpoints for companies that have no IT department, and keep them patched, backed up and watched.

  • Proxmox & OPNsense — no vendor lock-in
  • Managed SentinelOne XDR & CrowdStrike
  • Next-gen Firewalls, DNS security, VPN
  • Backup, disaster recovery, hardening
  • 24/7 monitoring with proactive alerting
See the service

AI Integration & Automation

We wire language models into the tools you already use, such as your ERP, mailbox and document archive, to remove repetitive work.

  • LLMs integrated into business workflows
  • Document and administrative automation
  • Internal assistant trained on your procedures
  • Automated data analysis and reporting
  • Honest advice on where AI is not worth it
See the service

Software & Hardware Engineering

The key-code.dev side of the company: custom software, firmware for embedded devices, and hardware prototypes when nothing off the shelf fits.

  • Custom software development (web, mobile, API)
  • Firmware for embedded and IoT devices
  • Hardware prototyping and PCB design
  • Retrofitting and modernization of legacy systems
  • Integration between heterogeneous systems

How this differs from a typical MSP

Most IT providers in our area resell licences and bill by the hour. Here is what changes when you work with us instead.

Bitwire
Typical MSP
When we show up
Before you notice: monitoring agents on every machine, alerts routed to us
After you call: something broke, a technician is scheduled
Stack
Proxmox, OPNsense, SentinelOne: chosen because we can audit and fix them
Whatever the distributor has a margin on this quarter
How we earn
Fixed monthly fee for a defined scope and SLA
Licence resale plus hourly billing when things break
AI
Built into your ERP, mailbox and documents, measured in hours saved
A Copilot licence on the invoice
Documentation
Runbooks, credentials and configs handed over; you can leave any time
Lives in one technician's head
When software is the problem
We write it: web apps, integrations, firmware for old machines
"You should ask a developer"
AI Integration

AI inside the tools you already use

No new portal to log into. We attach language models to the ERP, mailbox and file server you already have, and measure the result in hours given back each week.

Document automation

Reports, quotes and offers generated from the data already in your ERP, in your own templates.

Intelligent classification

Incoming emails, invoices and delivery notes read, tagged and filed to the right folder or ticket.

Corporate Copilot

An internal assistant that answers from your procedures, price lists and past tickets, with sources shown.

Predictive analysis

Alerts on unusual numbers in sales or production data, before someone spots them in a month-end report.

Workflow automation

Approvals, notifications and syncs between systems that today happen by copy and paste.

AI Agent for VoIP

A voice agent on your 3CX or Yeastar PBX that answers, routes calls and books appointments outside office hours.

Show us one manual process

We will tell you whether it is worth automating, and roughly what it would take.

Open source project

We maintain a public IP blocklist that our own firewalls run on. It started as an internal tool and is now used by people we have never met. The code and the feeds are on GitHub.

Bitwire Defense Grid: the IP blocklist behind our firewalls

A set of honeypots and feed aggregators that produce two plain-text lists, inbound and outbound, refreshed every hour. Any firewall that can read a URL can use them.

The problem: most of the traffic is noise

Anything with a public IP gets scanned thousands of times a day by the same few thousand sources. That traffic fills firewall logs, hides the attempts that matter, and gives every unpatched service a steady stream of visitors.

The approach: block known-bad sources before the rules engine

The blocklist is loaded as an alias on OPNsense and dropped at the top of the ruleset. Packets from listed addresses are discarded before any other rule is evaluated, so the logs only show what is left.

Honeypots

Our own sensors record who is scanning and brute-forcing, and feed the list.

CIDR aggregation

Ranges with many offending hosts are collapsed into one rule, keeping the list small enough for a firewall.

Inbound feed

Scanners, brute-force sources and exploit kits, for blocking traffic coming in.

Outbound feed

Command-and-control servers, malware drops and phishing hosts, so an infected PC cannot call home.

In short

Two plain-text IP lists, over 20 million addresses, refreshed hourly. Maintained by Bitwire, applied on every OPNsense firewall we manage, free for anyone else.

Recent work

Three engagements from the last two years. Client names withheld; we are happy to put you in touch on request.

Manufacturing SMB

Two ageing physical servers consolidated into a Proxmox cluster with ZFS and offsite backups. Unplanned downtime down 95% year on year, hardware and licence spend down 40%.

Professional Studio

SentinelOne XDR on every workstation, OPNsense with the blocklist at the perimeter, MFA everywhere. No security incidents in the first 12 months.

Logistics Company

Delivery notes and carrier emails classified and filed automatically, weekly reports generated from the ERP. About 8 hours of office work saved per week.
