Yes.  But your network people should understand that.  Advice is still to hire 
a real security person.  There are people here that can help perhaps for a fee 
but it means engaging with them and giving them enough details about your needs 
and constraints so that they can design a real security solution.  

I can help with referrals or in some limited cases with actual advice but it's 
out of band for the purposes of this list.  Again you should expect to pay for 
this service and be prepared to discuss application specifics.  It just isn't 
possible to do this with generalities.
