As different company networks grow together, the complexity of your network increases, and so does the security risk. However, such risks can be minimized through the effective safeguarding of your network transitions. We have extensive experience in projects designing secure networks for numerous major customers, which we would gladly share with you.
Our approach is based on the separation of your network into different logical and physical security zones, which can be correlated with virus protection zones and the safeguarding of work centers. Then, the transitions between these security zones are secured through one- or two-level firewalls. At the same time, traffic within the segments is monitored by IDS (Intrusion Detection System) and IDP (Intrusion Detection and Prevention) products for identifying penetrators. Events, which affect the IT security, are also stringently monitored. This combination enables the realization of an integrated security management.
In addition, technologies for network encrypting can also be used in individual zones, and are based on the IPSec or SSL/TLS network protocols. This enables the use of VPN (virtual private networks) technologies and radio networks based on WLAN, thus reducing costs in the field of network operators – without endangering your company’s security standards.
