Network Security
An organisation's network is often the ‘leading edge’ of their presence on the Internet and as such is a common target for a broad scope of malicious activity ranging for viruses & worms, network compromise attempts of Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. Developing and maintain a corporate infrastructure that can withstand and minimise the effects of such threats has become a critical business requirement for all organisations.
Making sense of the wide range of technologies and tools available to counteract network layer threats requires ongoing diligence. SIFT has a wealth of experience in advising on the selection, use and placement of the following technologies:
- Firewalls
- Intrusion detection systems (IDS)
- Intrusion prevention systems (IPS)
- Routers and switches
- Virtual private networks (VPN)
- Proxies
- Logging facilities
- Wireless networks
- Voice Over IP (VoIP)
We develop highly tuned product-neutral network architecture strategies for our clients to maximise their security whilst ensuring the network meets the daily business requirements. To help our clients achieve this, SIFT consultants have the following capabilities:
- Secure infrastructure design and analysis
- Penetration testing and vulnerability assessment
