We make your data talk.

Altea has been designing, deploying and securing network infrastructure for over 15 years — from auditing a network that slows down to the intercoms and access control of a building. A small team of engineers, one point of contact, solutions that hold.

What we do

Six areas, one rule: understand your network before touching it.

Network audit and diagnostics

Is your network slow, flaky or too expensive? We measure before we conclude: taps, aggregators, traffic analysis and long-term trends, then a clear report with the fixes.

  • Interview and mapping
  • Capture and analysis (Viavi, ExtraHop)
  • Report and remediation plan

  • UniFi, Cisco, Meraki, Arista
  • Proof of concept before purchase
  • Installation, testing, documentation

Security and penetration testing

Firewalls, segmentation, filtering, detection — and scoped penetration tests to check that it holds: goal definition, exploitation, risk-weighted report.

  • Fortinet, Cisco, Rapid7
  • Internal and external pentest
  • Social engineering (on mandate)

« Altea was very helpful in accommodating our network upgrades and did everything on fairly short notice even with our tight schedule. Their service reliability has been nothing short of excellent, and response times for support were fantastic. Altea has provided both exceptional service and value and I would definitely not hesitate to recommend. »

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What does a network audit include?

An interview to pin down the symptoms, data gathering with taps, virtual taps and aggregators, long-term trend analysis, then a clear report with root causes and recommended fixes. The audit addresses a measured problem, not a hunch.

Which vendors do you install?

Ubiquiti UniFi (authorized reseller, altea.io store), Cisco and Meraki, Arista, Fortinet firewalls, plus visibility tools such as Viavi, Ixia and Splunk. We pick the technology for the problem, not the other way round.

Do you perform penetration tests?

Yes, in a scoped way: goals defined with you, attack vector discovery, exploitation and pivots, proof collection, then risk weighting and a report with a remediation plan.

Do you install access control and intercoms?

Yes. Altea holds an RBQ licence and installs doors, gates, video intercoms and hands-free remotes for residential and commercial buildings, with central management (UniFi Access, among others).

Where do you operate?

In Montreal, Laval, the North and South Shores and across Quebec from our Saint-Eustache office. Service is available in French and English.
