24 x 7 Network Security Monitoring

Backbone Security/DSD offer 24 x 7 x 365 network security monitoring which provides continuous responsive protection of your network. This gives you the peace of mind that the security and well-being of your network and your company's sensitive information is protected.

Utilizing state-of-the-industry remote monitoring tools, Backbone Security/DSD’s team of information security specialists monitors your network for hacking attempts, malware, actual penetrations, and any other related computer security warnings. When detected, protective measures are taken and you are alerted to the activities that are occurring and what further countermeasures should be taken. When an alert occurs, the Network Operations and Security Center personnel will be alerted to the source, type of suspicious activity, and the targeted system. Typically, appropriate response to various intrusion scenarios are agreed to in advance to reduce the time required to respond to attempted or successful intrusions as quickly as possible.

Why should you monitor your network 24 x 7?
Cyber attack prevention and detection are activities that form the basis for a complete information security program critical to business survival in today’s high threat environment on the Internet. Prevention of most cyber attacks can be achieved through the implementation, and enforcement, of sound security policies and the use of industry best practices. Detection is achieved through monitoring network activity, in real-time, for patterns of activity that suggest an attack is imminent, or in progress. Monitoring network activity uses Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) that include sensors placed at strategic locations on an organization’s network. When a pattern of suspicious activity is detected, actions can be taken immediately to terminate the activity and thereby limit potential damage that could have otherwise resulted had the attack gone undetected.

Intrusion detection and prevention monitoring provides the proactive security stance that is actively sought in this ever-changing environment. Vigilant watch is kept over all incoming and outgoing traffic and immediate notification/prevention is provided to the organization if something appears suspicious.

Benefits of outsourcing your network security monitoring:

• You will have the assurance that an experienced, independent, certified and nationally recognized security company is monitoring its network perimeter.

• Incident reports will be generated and forwarded immediately after a significant threat occurs. These reports will provide the details of the malicious activity discovered, the attacker’s information, our expert analysis, and recommended actions.

• Notification and awareness of the latest cyber security threats and exploits including the interpretation and analysis on how it affects your company.

• Synergetic experience and cyber intelligence gained from one client and applied to all customers.

• Intrusion monitoring and detection is a highly dynamic process, patterns and profiles of attempted attacks against systems on the network will vary in both magnitude and frequency over time. Accordingly, we remotely update the attack pattern and profile signatures.

• Monthly reports that reflect network monitoring activity for each calendar month will be provided to your technical staff. Reports are tailored to include details on network activity and any significant deviations from prior month’s activity. They also include recommendations to improve the security posture, as appropriate, based on IDS sensor output.

• Cost savings…our service costs a fraction of what you would pay one person on your staff.

Secure Network Design

Our certified security engineers provide an evaluation of your company’s security posture. We analyze the information collected, design, and implement a secure solution to protect your company from hackers.

Typically a site visit is performed to baseline all current security protections that are in place. During the site visit we review the current design, the existing equipment configuration, and the security services requested. From this information we can recommend whether services like the following are needed: DMZ redesign, malicious code protection and filtering, Intrusion Detection and Prevention service, and application protection services to provide the best security protection for the network.

Our best of design solutions combining existing and new equipment protect your company from malicious exploits like: buffer overflows, parameter manipulation, form field manipulation, forceful browsing, cookie/session poisoning, weak passwords, cross-site scripting (XSS), command injection, SQL injection, information leaks, insecure use of cryptography, server misconfiguration, back doors and debug options, web site defacement, well-known platform vulnerabilities, and zero-day exploits.
