Intrusion Prevention: Monitoring network activity 24x7x365

It is quite common for businesses to put locks on their doors and windows, subscribe to a security service and even install cameras that record all traffic entering and exiting the building. Unfortunately this same attention is not given to most computer networks. Usually a firewall is present on the perimeter – sometimes an intrusion detection sensor is installed. Many times, however, these measures are neglected after initial installation, leaving the company vulnerable, but unaware, until an attack takes place.

Web Content Filtering: Blocking malicious web traffic in real-time

DataComm’s web content filtering solution was designed to eliminate the costly expenses and increasing cost of managing an in-house security appliance. Our service monitors and blocks malicious web traffic in real-time, making intelligent decisions that prevent employees from committing violations that could result in civil or criminal liability. Additionally, this service may improve the productivity of your staff by making sure that social media sites are only available to employees at certain times throughout the day.

Service Benefits

  • Acceptable use controls let you define policies by user, group, IP, or domain; and also allows you to set time-based policies for Internet browsing during office hours, off-hours, or not at all – ensuring compliance to corporate web usage policies.
  • Web application controls allow you to selectively permit or forbid use of web-based applications by individuals or groups, protecting your organization from non-productive applications and the malware they carry. This includes online chat rooms, popmail , gaming sites, wikis, blogs, and more.
  • Advanced malware prevention scans web traffic for malicious content to prevent the infection and proliferation of web-based threats.
  • Zero hour threat response closes the window of vulnerability between when an attack launches and when scanning filter updates are developed and distributed, extending the protection from new threats delivered via web channels.
  • Attachment controls block harmful file types from entering your network via web-based traffic and applications.
  • URL filtering analyzes and blocks access to websites based on pre-defined policies, using content control to block sites for reduced risks and legal liabilities.
  • Dynamic inspection provides content filtering of uncategorized sites to bridge the security gap from where URL filtering capabilities end, providing an extensive web risk management boundary.

Log Monitoring: Monitoring mission critical servers

A common misconception is that security threats only come from external sources. A significant proportion of malicious activity actually originate from within an organization. Standard and necessary methods of protecting the network do very little to ensure the integrity of critical servers and workstations from an internal attack.

SecurLog, part of DataComm’s complete SecurSuite of services, was designed to combat this growing issue by monitoring event logs distributed by Windows and UNIX hosts. SecurLog utilizes trained security staff to monitor mission critical servers’ Event Viewer logs in real-time for policy and security violations, manage complex rulesets often overlooked when choosing standalone products and maintain logs required by regulators for critical devices. This service keeps your staff informed of internal security breaches without expensive applications, time-consuming installations and extensive training.

Service Features

  • Comprehensive Event Collection provides application, system, & security event data on critical devices.
  • Real-time Alerting & Notification generates alerts that allow you to set the specific criteria on hosts for which you need to be notified.
  • Compliance Logging & Reporting creates predefined reports to meet HIPAA, GLBA and Sarbanes-Oxley requirements.

Vulnerability Scanning: Discover weaknesses before they can be exploited

network security

Vulnerability Assessments are an effective tool to combat the daily barrage of security threats and to help mitigate network changes that weaken your security posture. Vulnerability assessments augment annual penetration testing.

Oversight is key in all areas where a simple rule or configuration change can create devastating down-time or worse – a compromise of sensitive customer information. Our simple, yet necessary, solution can reduce or even remove concerns that a single user or group holds all the keys.

Service Features

  • Weekly, Monthly or Quarterly Scheduled Scans
  • Internal and/or External Scanning
  • Thorough Assessment of Every Port and IP Address
  • Comprehensive Reporting
  • Seamless Integration with DataComm’s SecurSuite of Services
