Systems Security

We consider Systems Security as the highest priority issue when addressing the implementation of a new or an existing system. A sound secure systems should always act as the foundation for a company's computer network. The proliferation of Internet broadband connection is just one example of the increase in connectivity amongst users and thus the greater need for IT security. V.R.Dis Consulting offers several key services in this area:

Analysis of existing and planned IT network

Inspection of the methods in which a company's network is utilised internally by its employees (eg file server access) and externally by its clients (eg web server), will reveal to us all potential access points to the company network. A detailed report will be compiled outlining the weak points of the system in relation to an internal and external attack, along with alternative solutions such as the installation of a firewall or an intrusion detection system.

Security Software/Hardware installation

Based on the analysis carried out on a company's IT network we undertake the installation and configuration of network access monitoring software and hardware.The final system will be subjected to intensive simulated hacking using best practiced methods. Some of the key solution components often used are:

• Virus detection server software, for controlling and updating client virus detection software from a central point
• Hardware/software Firewall installation as the gateway of the network
• Proxy Server and Network Address Port Translation (NAPT) for screening and caching
• Web content filtering system for detection of hidden attacks
• Intrusion detection system for flagging abnormal and suspicious practice from an internal/external user
• Email gateway for preventing the communication of illegal content and banned destination addresses

Virtual Private Network Installation

Increasingly companies require the need for controlled access to their internal network from an external point of access. This is often the case when connecting several geographically distributed branches of a company or when employees require to work from home. A Virtual Private Network (VPN) makes use of the Internet to bridge the connection gap between different geographic locations. We help advice and install VPN solutions for maximum performance and security using the most secure encryption algorithms.
