Managed Switch
Any office with more than one computer depends on a switch to connect the different devices to a network. We provide remote management and maintenance of network switches to remove the networking burden from your team.
-
MAINTENANCE
Networking equipment often goes without important firmware or other updates that keeps it reliable and secure. We manage the update process for network switches to keep them current with the latest manufacturer updates.
-
COORDINATED CHANGES
Over time, all networks require changes to accomplish a task or optimize for a new use case. In order to minimize impact, we coordinate and execute these changes based on change windows or by explicit instruction from the client.
-
HIGH AVAILABILITY
As with any device, network switches can encounter software issues or hardware failures. As a matter of practice, we architect redundant switching infrastructure and multiple paths to prevent single points of failure.
Managed Firewall
Firewalls secure an environment from the threats of the outside world. We provide remote management and maintenance of firewalls to increase security without developing and retaining otherwise necessary in-house expertise.
-
RULE MANAGEMENT
Firewalls are the arbiter of how internal and external parties interact or are permitted access to each other. Based on your specific requirements, we design firewall rules to permit or deny access to your systems.
-
MAINTENANCE
Firewalls are generally one of the few devices that are exposed to the outside world, and as such it’s critical to keep them up to date. We manage the update process for firewalls to keep them current with the latest manufacturer updates.
-
HIGH AVAILABILITY
Since firewalls are generally the external gateway, their availability has a large impact on the organization. To ensure business continuity we design the firewall infrastructure to survive software and hardware failures.
Real-Time Monitoring
Networks are the nervous system of an organization. Any anomalous behavior can cause widespread issues. We provide real-time monitoring of your network to detect any exceptional behavior and ensure the network is functioning as intended.
-
UTILIZATION
Monitoring the utilization of a network can provide data for proper provisioning and insights into unusual behavior. We have implemented tools to monitor the activity of the network, including an alert system to minimize the risks of an outage.
-
SECURITY
Often times the network is one of the last lines of defense for detecting a cyber security issue. We monitor the network for unusual or high levels of activity, as they are often indicators of a potential breach.
-
PERFORMANCE
Network issues are more subtle and can deteriorate performance over time. We sample the network for key performance statistics to determine if there is any degradation in service internally or from external providers.
Threat Protection
Cyber security has become a critical technology and regulatory issue for nearly every business in the financial industry. We are constantly evaluating advanced threat protection techniques as they come to market. Clients who want incremental levels of security can choose to implement our advanced security features.
-
INTRUSION DETECTION
Due to their central nature, networks are an ideal place to look for suspicious activity. We have implemented intrusion detection functionality to detect the signatures of malicious activity on the network.
-
LOG MONITORING
Logs contain important information, yet many organizations only refer to them while attempting to diagnose a prior event. We operate and monitor a central log management system that uses rules to detect exceptional activity in real-time.
-
AUDITING
Security breaches can cause changes that compromise the protection of the overall network. We provide the ability to audit changes to components of an environment that help identify when unscheduled changes occur.
