Network Security

SMS Network Security is focused on managing security threats and meeting new compliance and regulatory requirements such as SOX, PCI, HIPAA, etc.  At the same time, the number of devices, mobile users, work sites, and security threats continues to rise.

The greatest concern you have in doing business over the Internet is the security risk. Hackers, denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, identity theft, and even cyber-terrorism are very real dangers. In addition, you may wonder how to guarantee the performance and reliability of your Internet-based services. Or, you may not be certain that you have the resources and support needed to deploy and manage e-commerce services and processes.

At the foundation of a robust e-commerce infrastructure are the routers, switches, and firewalls that protect valuable business data and guard against viruses, spyware, Internet attacks, and other security concerns.  Other devices and processes and procedures can also add protection such as:

• Intrusion detection and prevention
• Encryption
• Virtual private networks, providing encryption via the Internet
• Layers of protection to secure your information across the company.

IDS and IPS

SMS has partnered with a vendor to provide Intrusion Detection and Protection in a Security Software-as-a-Service model built to manage security and compliance in an environment where the notion of a perimeter is disappearing. 

The concept of a traditional data center and the perimeter around it is eroding. Organizations of all kinds manage security and compliance programs that span not just their own datacenter, but also those in hosted environments and branch offices that lie outside the traditional data center. SMS with our  partner helps organizations meet the security and compliance needs spread across distributed enterprises.

With Intrusion Detection and Prevention you can now cost-effectively defend and protect your network against internal and external threats.  The SMS device offering provides 24x7 monitoring and expert guidance services from our state-of-the-art Security Operations Center (SOC), staffed by GIAC-certified analysts and security experts. This offering also allows you to meet PCI compliance requirements at a  fraction of the cost of staffing your own team of analysts.
