The goal of information security is to protect the confidentiality, integrity
and availability of your company’s information. An array of threats, vulnerabilities
and attacks creates a formidable challenge for security professionals. A combination
of pragmatic standards and policies, effective procedures, capable technologies, and
properly trained personnel need to work together to mitigate the risks presented –
technologies alone will not solve information security problems. Leveraging a sound
understanding of our clients’ business objectives, Denmac develops world class
information security strategies. The following discusses these services.

SECURITY ARCHITECTURE SERVICES
|
| Perimeter Security |
|
One of the first steps in implementing an information security framework is defining an
organization’s protectable perimeter and deploying access controls. Unfortunately, 90%
of all security vulnerabilities are due to firewall misconfigurations. They can happen
many different ways - firewalls are complex products, too many people may have access to
the devices, there may not be enough administrator cycles to manage the environment, and
most notably, firewalls don't complain when there's a problem. Denmac can help. Let Denmac
design and implement a new firewall solution for you or fortify your existing environment.
Either way, you'll end up with a more secure network.
|
| Defender Firewall |
Defender Firewall is our revolutionary approach to firewall management. Unlike the
restrictive and unresponsive structure of traditional managed firewall services, Defender
Firewall maximizes the effectiveness of your perimeter security. We do this by placing you
in control of your enterprise security (where security belongs), while you partner with
Denmac's security experts to maintain, audit and assess your firewall environment.
Information security is critical to your company's success. Defender Firewall will give
you the confidence that your firewall is as effective as it can possibly be.

As part of the Defender Firewall service, Denmac provides the following items: |

Monthly firewall log reports highlighting activity trends |
|
|
Quarterly updates of the latest application and O/S patches |
|
|
Quarterly audits of your firewall rulebase to ensure it meets your businesses growing needs |
|
|
Quarterly vulnerability scans conducted against your firewall and internet servers to detect against the latest vulnerabilities
|
|
|
General security assistance - one 1/2 day per month to help
with further analysis, investigation, or other security assistance (with a minimum of a 6-month commitment)
|
| Strong Authentication Solutions |
| Authentication, the most basic underlying security mechanism, allows an organization to know
who they are dealing with, so they can monitor and control access. Passwords are one of the weakest links to an organization's security infrastructure - primarily because people choose passwords that are easy to remember. Denmac helps companies understand and implement more effective authentication solutions. The following list highlights some of the current authentication technologies: |
|
|
Token-based authentication |
|
|
Biometric authentication |
|
|
Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)/Digital certificates
|
| O/S Hardening Services |
Today, organizations are deploying systems believing they are secure by default or because they
are behind a firewall. This is not the case. Operating systems and applications are designed
and deployed with ease of use and installation in mind, not security. Unfortunately, the default configuration of most operating systems is very insecure. The process
of hardening a server encompasses removing unnecessary services, modifying default configurations,
implementing restrictive controls, applying service packs and bug fixes and tuning logging
features. Denmac has extensive experience in hardening Windows, Novell, Linux and proprietary
UNIX-based systems and has developed processes to make your server secure – services that
allow your operating systems, applications and firewall to work in tandem. The result is a
secure environment tuned to meet your security needs.
|
| Intrusion Detection and Intrusion Prevention Systems (IDS/IPS) |
The Internet and the extension of computing services enables improved productivity, enhanced
collaboration and, ultimately, increased revenues. Along with all of the benefits, unfortunately,
this digital world also provides a target rich environment for network-based attacks and malware.
Denmac can help you combat these attacks leveraging intrusion detection and prevention technologies.
Whether its network-based IDS/IPS, host-based IDS/IPS or a combination of both, Denmac will
help you architect and deploy these critical technologies. Working together, the result will be
an environment that helps you protect your company’s most valuable information assets.
Let Denmac help you maximize the benefits of the following IDS/IPS technologies: |
|
|
Network based IDS/IPS |
|
|
Host based IDS/IPS |
|
|
|
|
Application integrated intrusion detection/prevention
|
| Internet Security Gateway Solutions |
|
Leveraging the Internet to collaborate is crucial for most enterprises. The challenge is
providing the collaboration capabilities while minimizing the risk to the organization due
to malware and inappropriate content. Denmac will work with you to provide these critical
collaboration services in a protected configuration. The solutions used include the following:
|
|
|
Anti-Virus |
|
|
Anti-SPAM |
|
|
|

|
| Encryption Solutions |
Encryption is a key pillar for information protection. Protecting data at all levels is
critical. Denmac understand the practical application of encryption technologies. Whether
your need is to encrypt email, files on your laptops and servers, or communications over
your virtual private network, Denmac can help. Using our knowledge of encryption products
and technologies, we can help you assess and implement encryption solutions to meet your
business objectives.

SECURITY AUDIT AND CONSULTING SERVICES
|
| Vulnerability and Risk Assessments |
Integral to your security strategy is
understanding your vulnerabilities. By conducting a Vulnerability/Risk
Assessment, the Denmac security team identifies all critical resources and access points to
your network. We then provide a comprehensive review and thorough assessment of your network's
security preparedness, including a review of your vulnerabilities and their implications on your
organization. Armed with the necessary information, you can now maximize your security budget by
targeting the appropriate vulnerabilities.

| Penetration Testing |
The purpose of information security is to protect your company's
information from unwanted or unauthorized access. Sure, you can implement a number of security
technologies, but the only way to answer to the question "How secure are we?" is by testing your
environment the way a hacker would. The Denmac security team offers exceptional expertise in the
highly sensitive arena of penetration testing. By keeping up with the latest hacking techniques,
the Denmac team will, under your authorization, identify and exploit vulnerabilities to show you
the different ways to obtain the keys to your information safe. From there, we can work together
to build a strategy to eliminate your organization's security weaknesses.
|
| Information Security Policy Services |
Effective information security is a combination of process and
technologies. Your company's security policies provide the foundation and blueprint for
successful information security architecture. Using our network lifecycle approach, Denmac
will help you develop, review, update and implement security guidelines based on how your
information resources are used, and who uses them. We'll help assess your risk and write
effective policies that address your key issues.
|
Forensic Analysis/Incident Response Services
One of the most feared statements is “We've been hacked…” The next question is
usually “Now what?” In a situation like this, you want to work with a trusted experienced
partner--one that will swiftly and confidently assess the compromise and determine the appropriate
remedy. Make Denmac your choice. Our response will be swift, sure, and designed to minimize
