Direct IT Network Security Solutions

As Internet access has become a required component for most businesses today, the need to protect the network from unwanted intrusions has become critical. Internet tools; such as e-mail and web-browsing, can become counter-productive if they are exploited by external hackers and spammers.

Direct IT believes that a network exposed to the Internet requires a strategic set of solutions to be protected from these attacks.

Security Audits

A security architecture audit will help identify all clients current security stance and will aid in creating a security roadmap that will ensure a scalable, robust and secure network in the future. All existing documentation regarding the IT infrastructure will be reviewed and incorporated into the analysis effort. This includes network diagrams, past analyses, written policies, plans and procedures. The deliverable of the security architecture review is a roadmap that the client can use to secure its network. SECURITY AUDITS also assist customers to meet their HIPPA (Healthcare), FDIC or FDAC (Financial & Banking) compliance. Security Audits

Network Firewall

The network firewall is the cornerstone of any Internet security policy. Firewalls provide security from external threats by monitoring network traffic, and determining who may access the network externally. Network firewalls can be configured to provide Virtual Private Network connections between offices and to home office clients. These secure connections use the public Internet to create a secure VPN.

Intrusion Detection & Prevention

Many of the most common forms of network attack are now using e-mail and free downloads to enter a network on the back of requested services. These "Trojans" and "worms" are usually able to pass through a firewall without problem because they are encapsulated in traffic requested by the user. Intrusion Detection and Prevention devices look deeper into the traffic entering the network to identify malicious code integrated into e-mails and other web traffic.
