Secure Network Design Services


We help corporate customers deploy secure networks and computing environments that suit their needs.

In network security, one size does not always fit all. Indeed, most corporate environments share roughly similar threat models. They all need data to remain in control and they all want the hackers out. Nevertheless, some corporate customers face different threats than most others. Following are just a few examples:
  • Some customers face extremely powerful opponents; opponents having capabilities that are beyond those of the typical non-profit hackers.
  • Some customers face a different threat environment, such as by having employees work in potentially hostile environments. Some have assets installed in locations where they cannot be continuously supervised.
  • Some customers have unique information assets that require more stringent protection than other corporate data: particular documents, particular e-mail correspondence, particular databases, particular network services, etc.
  • Some customers require securing untypical services and applications, such as certain types of voice (e.g., telephone) communication, instant messaging, streaming content, sensor data collection, etc. Sometimes, protection is needed against untypical types of threats or fraud.
We provide such customers with specific network, servers, workstations and devices configuration specifications, that suit their unique needs. We specify the technologies and the tools that need to be deployed, and the configuration that these components need to be deployed by. In the rare cases that tailor-made products need to be developed, we utilize our engineering capabilities to specify, support, and see through the development process; making sure it delivers the necessary components on time and within budget.

Following the deployment of the secure network or system, we run it through our examination, so to be assured of its suitability for mitigating the identified threats. If desired, we carry out such inspections on a recurring basis, to ascertain that the high security standard is retained over time.
