Security Services

In computing, managed security services (MSS) are network security services that have been outsourced to a service provider. Managed security services (MSS) is a systematic approach to managing an organization's security needs. Functions of a managed security service include round-the-clock monitoring and management of intrusion detection systems and firewalls, overseeing patch management and upgrades, performing security assessments and security audits, and responding to emergencies. Our high-performance services deliver reliable and cost-effective protection to improve the security of your environment, allowing you to focus on your core business.

Unified Threat Management

Unified Threat Management (UTM) is a comprehensive solution that has recently emerged in the network security industry. UTM is the evolution of the traditional firewall into an all-inclusive security product able to perform multiple security functions within one single appliance: network firewalling, network intrusion prevention and gateway antivirus (AV), gateway anti-spam, VPN, content filtering, load balancing, data leak prevention and on-appliance reporting. The advantages of unified security lie in the fact that rather than administering multiple systems that individually handle antivirus, content filtering, intrusion prevention and spam filtering functions, organizations now have the flexibility to deploy a single UTM appliance that takes over all their functionality into a single rack mountable network appliance.

Secure Remote Access

Secure remote access increases business productivity by enabling mobile employees, home workers, extranet partners, customers and other authorized users to remotely access business critical applications and resources over a VPN connection.

Real Time Log Monitoring

Monitoring the event log can quickly become straining for both the computer as well as the administrator as the event log grows and grows. The idea behind real-time monitoring is that instead of poll for changes we have modules notifying the system when changes occur.

Vulnerability management

In computer security, a vulnerability is a weakness which allows an attacker to reduce a system's information assurance. Vulnerability management is the cyclic practice of identifying, classifying, remediating, and mitigating vulnerabilities. This practice generally refers to software vulnerabilities in computing systems however it can also extend to organizational behavior and strategic decision-making processes. This is a broad definition that has implications for corporate or government entities.

Penetration Testing

A penetration test, occasionally pentest, is a method of evaluating the computer security of a computer system or network by simulating an attack from malicious outsiders (who do not have an authorized means of accessing the organization's systems) and malicious insiders (who have some level of authorized access). The process involves an active analysis of the system for any potential vulnerabilities that could result from poor or improper system configuration, both known and unknown hardware or software flaws, or operational weaknesses in process or technical countermeasures. This analysis is carried out from the position of a potential attacker and can involve active exploitation of security vulnerabilities.

IPS/IDS

Intrusion prevention systems (IPS), are network security appliances that monitor network and/or system activities for malicious activity. The main functions of intrusion prevention systems are to identify malicious activity, log information about said activity, attempt to block/stop activity, and report activity. Intrusion prevention systems can be classified into four different types:
Network-based intrusion prevention system (NIPS):
monitors the entire network for suspicious traffic by analyzing protocol activity. Wireless intrusion prevention systems (WIPS):
monitors a wireless network for suspicious traffic by analyzing wireless networking protocols. Network behavior analysis (NBA):
examines network traffic to identify threats that generate unusual traffic flows, such as distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, certain forms of malware and policy violations. Host-based intrusion prevention system (HIPS):
an installed software package which monitors a single host for suspicious activity by analyzing events occurring within that host. IDS (Intrusion Detection System) Software that detects an attack on a network or computer system. A Network IDS (NIDS) is designed to support multiple hosts, whereas a Host IDS (HIDS) is set up to detect illegal actions within the host. Most IDS programs typically use signatures of known cracker attempts to signal an alert. Others look for deviations of the normal routine as indications of an attack. Intrusion detection is very tricky. Too much analysis can add excessive overhead and also trigger false alarms. Insufficient analysis can overlook a valid attack.

Data loss/Theft Protection

Data leakage protection is essential for today's dramatically-changing work environments. As organizations become less centralized, with more distributed sites and remote employees, the need for data leakage protection is greater than ever. Data loss protection (DLP) is a strategy for making sure that end users do not send sensitive or critical information outside of the corporate network. The term is also used to describe software products that help a network administrator control what data end users can transfer. Data loss prevention (DLP) refers to the identification and monitoring of sensitive data to ensure that it's only accessed by authorized users and that there are safeguards against data leaks.

Email Security

Email security is a priority for all businesses, with the growing threat of hackers,viruses spam, phishing and identity theft, as well as the need to secure business information. Email security is a multi-layered discipline which can involve using several types of security software and security technology. The security implications associated with the management of email storage, policy enforcement, auditing, archiving and data recovery.

Application Security

Application Security is the strategy and actions to prevent security breaches of applications and systems . Application security is the use of software, hardware, and procedural methods to protect applications from external threats. Security measures built into applications and a sound application security routine minimize the likelihood that hackers will be able to manipulate applications and access, steal, modify, or delete sensitive data.

Web and Content Security

Web security is a set of procedures, practices, and technologies for protecting web servers, web users, and their surrounding organizations. Web Security, also known as “Cyber security” involves protecting that information by preventing, detecting, and responding to attacks.

Cloud Security

Cloud security is the set of security protocols, methodologies and technologies that protect the availability of cloud resources and the integrity of data stored in a cloud computing environment. Cloud security differs from traditional computer security in that it is not focused on preventing access to specific machines. Cloud security also addresses issues of identity management and privacy. Cloud Security allows businesses to extend and apply their own access and security policies into the cloud by securing all the data traffic moving between the enterprise and the cloud, as well as data being stored in the cloud.

Mobile Security

Mobile security is the protection of smartphones, tablets, laptops and other portable computing devices, and the networks they connect to, from threats and vulnerabilities associated with wireless computing. Mobile security is also known as wireless security.

Web Application Firewall

Web Application Firewalls are enhanced firewall appliances that operate on data at layer 7 of the OSI reference model and protect Web servers from attacks. They act on browser and HTTP attacks that try to manipulate application behavior for malicious purposes, and look for violations in application-specific policy. Typically they enforce security policies at a very granular level by building a model of the manner in which users interact with the application and preventing traffic that does note adhere to that model. This model is called the positive security model.
A WAF is an operational security control which monitors HTTP traffic in order to protect web applications from attacks.

The key elements in this definition are:

• Operational control- A WAF protects applications in real time, rather than hardening them or fixing them in advance.
• HTTP traffic- A WAF analyzes the traffic between the untrusted client and the web server.
• Protect web applications- WAFs protect web applications. Mostly custom written and very dynamic, web applications are in many cases vulnerable and not well protected by other solutions.
This new generation of security tools checks conformity of application flow (HTTP or HTTPS) either to standards, pre-established rules or expected request types. Many technologies may be used: signatures, protocol compliance, behavioral analysis, ... BinarySEC uses an Artificial Intelligence engine dedicated to modelize normal traffic and reject abnormal requests.

DDOS Prevention

DDOS, short for Distributed Denial of Service, is a type of DOS attack where multiple compromised systems -- which are usually infected with a Trojan -- are used to target a single system causing a Denial of Service (DoS) attack. Victims of a DDoS attack consist of both the end targeted system and all systems maliciously used and controlled by the hacker in the distributed attack.
